Family loses $1,400 on fake Taylor Swift tickets as scams grow
Newsy
With concert ticket prices higher than ever in 2024, scammers are offering fake tickets at face value. Here's what to watch out for.
Whether you’re a Morgan Wallen fan or prefer Andrea Bocelli, 2024 has some massive concert tours ahead for fans of all genres. But scammers are trolling the resale market looking to cash in and lure concertgoers looking for face-value tickets after being shut out at the initial sale.
What's causing this? Competition to see popular artists like U2, Olivia Rodrigo or Taylor Swift — again — is fierce, with concerts selling out in minutes. So, you need to be especially careful when navigating the resale market.
Gametime just released a list of the top 10 most anticipated concert tours of 2024, based on the median ticket price.
Seeing Taylor Swift, Adele or U2 will set you back well over $1,000. But you'll also pay more than $500, on average, to see the Eagles, Bad Bunny, Billy Joel or Garth Brooks.
If you’re planning to attend any of those popular shows and have been shut out, watch out for scammers.
