         What we don’t love is Internet scammers! Internet use
      for online sales, services, and event promotion has grown
      astronomically creating many opportunities for criminal
      scams and fraud.
         We want to share the following information, warnings,
      and tips for your best experience in booking and attending
      events anywhere.
         “Internet ticket scammers” refers to individuals or
      online platforms that try to deceive people by selling fake
      or non-existent tickets to events, concerts, etc. online, but
      ultimately taking the buyer’s money without providing
      them  with  valid  tickets. They  often  lure  buyers  with
      suspiciously low prices for tickets or pressure to buy due to
      “low availability.” They create fake listings with convincing   Time for
      details, but deliver counterfeit tickets or no tickets at all.
      Avoiding Internet Ticket Scams
         • Always purchase tickets through the concert or event
                                                                a change?
