Taylor Swift ticket scams are increasingly common as millions of fans seek concert access. Here's how to protect yourself when buying tickets for the Eras tour.

Safe Ticket Purchasing Guidelines

• Only buy from authorized ticket vendors
• Be skeptical of prices that seem too low
• Use credit cards for payment protection
• Avoid sellers requesting gift cards, wire transfers, or cash
• Thoroughly examine physical tickets for errors or inconsistencies

Recommended Ticket Sources

• StubHub (average resale price ~$600)
• Vivid Seats
• SeatGeek

Warning Signs of Fake Tickets

• Spelling errors
• Blurry or unclear text
• Incorrect event details
• Unusually low prices
• Suspicious payment methods

The Cleveland Better Business Bureau warns that scammers often use extremely low prices to lure buyers. The Boston Police Department emphasizes purchasing only through authorized vendors to avoid counterfeit tickets.

While secondary markets like StubHub are generally reliable, expect significant price increases. Current resale prices range from $600 to $35,000 depending on seat location. Always review the ticket site's transaction policies and use credit card payment for maximum buyer protection.

When receiving physical tickets, carefully verify all event details, text clarity, and overall ticket appearance. Any irregularities could indicate a counterfeit ticket.
