Stay Safe: Ticketmaster Share Important Ticketing Tips to Avoid Scams
As live events continue through the summer, fans are urged to take extra care when purchasing tickets online. To help protect fans and ensure a smooth experience, Ticketmaster has shared a set of helpful guidelines on how to avoid ticketing scams and counterfeit tickets.
These tips serve as a reminder that the safest way to secure entry to your favourite shows is to purchase tickets through official, trusted sources.
Key Advice from Ticketmaster on Staying Safe:
- Buy Only from Official Channels
The most reliable way to secure genuine tickets is through an event’s official ticketing agent or venue. Fans should always refer to the artist’s official website, where approved ticket providers are listed. - Avoid Social Media Resellers and Unofficial Platforms
Purchasing from individuals or unverified sources on social media poses a high risk of fraud. These tickets are often fake or duplicated. - Don’t Buy Tickets Before the On-Sale Date
Be cautious of offers for tickets to tours that haven’t officially gone on sale yet. Unless you're participating in a verified presale, tickets offered beforehand are likely not valid. - Double-Check the Website URL
When buying online, always confirm that you’re on the correct site — for Ticketmaster Ireland, that’s Ticketmaster.ie or the official Ticketmaster app. Be alert for fraudulent sites that closely mimic the real one, especially through search engine ads. - Be Cautious with Printed Tickets
Scammers often sell duplicates of the same printed ticket. Most Ticketmaster tickets are mobile, using dynamic barcodes that refresh every 15 seconds to help prevent fraud.
Ticketmaster’s customer service is available to support fans with any questions or concerns. For help or more information, visit Ticketmaster.ie or use the official Ticketmaster app.
Ticketmaster encourage all fans to stay informed, stay safe, and enjoy the experience knowing your ticket is secure.
