WRTV INVESTIGATES | The Better Business Bureau issued an alert this week following the singer’s announcement she will be performing in Indianapolis for three nights in 2024.
Scammers know tickets are in high demand and they will be targeting Swifties with another round of scams aimed at the 2024 tour dates.
Ticketmaster will start selling tickets next week, however, not everyone will get tickets that way, which means Swifties will be looking on the resale market.Here’s how the scam works: someone you know, or just someone in your city, makes a Facebook post selling their Taylor Swift tickets. When you message the seller, they offer you a good deal and ask you to pay using Zelle, Venmo or a similar method.However, you never hear back from the seller after you send the money.
“Your tickets are never delivered, electronically or otherwise, because they never existed,” the BBB said. “And worse, if you use a digital wallet app to pay, you’ll unlikely get your money back.” One Taylor Swift fan reported the scam to BBB Scam Tracker: “The seller told me she was a verified seller and that she was an admin in the Facebook group. The transaction took place over Zelle. After the transaction occurred, the seller failed to send me the tickets and failed to send me a refund.”
