Attention all ticket buyers! Beware of scammers targeting the Manitoba Opera.
The Manitoba Opera has issued a warning to the public about fraudulent ticket sales for their upcoming performances. According to the opera company, scammers are using fake websites and social media accounts to sell tickets to their shows.
The scammers are targeting unsuspecting individuals by offering discounted tickets and claiming to be official ticket sellers for the Manitoba Opera. However, these tickets are not legitimate and will not grant access to the performances.
The Manitoba Opera is urging the public to only purchase tickets through their official website or authorized ticket sellers. They have also advised individuals to be cautious when purchasing tickets from third-party websites or social media accounts.
In a statement, the Manitoba Opera stated, “We are deeply concerned about these fraudulent ticket sales and want to ensure that our patrons are not being taken advantage of. We urge everyone to only purchase tickets through our official channels to avoid any disappointment or financial loss.”
The opera company has also reported the fraudulent websites and social media accounts to the authorities and is working to have them taken down.
This is not the first time that scammers have targeted the Manitoba Opera. In 2019, the company faced a similar issue where fake tickets were being sold for their production of “Carmen.”
The Manitoba Opera is reminding the public to always be cautious when purchasing tickets online and to only buy from trusted sources. They have also assured their patrons that they are taking all necessary measures to prevent these scams from happening in the future.
So, if you are planning to attend a performance by the Manitoba Opera, make sure to only purchase tickets through their official channels to avoid falling victim to these scammers. Stay vigilant and enjoy the show!
