Taylor Swift fans in Vancouver are being warned to be cautious when purchasing tickets for her upcoming concert. The popular singer’s highly anticipated “Lover Fest” tour is set to make a stop in the city on July 9, 2020, but scammers are taking advantage of the excitement by selling fake tickets.
According to the Vancouver Police Department, several fans have already fallen victim to these ticket scams. The scammers are using various methods to deceive buyers, including selling tickets at inflated prices, creating fake websites, and even posing as legitimate ticket sellers.
One fan, who wishes to remain anonymous, shared her experience of being scammed. She had purchased two tickets for the concert from a seller on Craigslist, only to find out later that the tickets were fake. “I was devastated,” she said. “I had been looking forward to this concert for months and now I have lost my money and my chance to see Taylor Swift live.”
The Vancouver Police Department is urging fans to be cautious when purchasing tickets for the concert. They advise buyers to only purchase tickets from authorized sellers, such as Ticketmaster or the official Taylor Swift website. They also recommend checking the authenticity of the tickets by verifying the barcode and seat numbers with the venue.
In addition, fans are advised to be wary of purchasing tickets from third-party websites or individuals, as these tickets may be counterfeit. If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. It is always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to purchasing tickets for a highly anticipated event.
The Vancouver Police Department is working closely with the concert venue and ticket sellers to identify and shut down these scams. They are also reminding fans to report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
Taylor Swift’s “Lover Fest” tour is expected to be a sold-out event, and fans are eager to secure their tickets. However, it is important to be vigilant and cautious to avoid falling victim to these ticket scams.
