Don’t Get Scammed: BBB Alerts Public to Summer Ticket Fraud Surge

As summer concerts and festivals draw crowds, the Better Business Bureau is warning consumers to be on high alert for fake tickets and scam events. With demand for live experiences at an all-time high—especially among Gen Z—scammers are creating fake websites, selling counterfeit tickets, and even promoting events that don’t exist. Experts urge buyers to avoid social media listings, use only official ticket platforms, and pay with a credit card for added protection. Don’t let a fake event ruin your summer plans.
