Tickets advertised in places such as social media, online marketplaces and fan forums may be fake or non-existent. This is however authentic the seller may seem and whether they\u2019re advertised at, below or above face value #TicketFraud http:\/\/www.getsafeonline.org\/tickets<\/a><\/p>\n

When possible, pay for tickets by credit card for increased protection over other payment methods #TicketFraud http:\/\/www.getsafeonline.org\/tickets<\/a><\/p>\n

Never pay a company or individual you don\u2019t know for tickets by bank transfer. The responsibility for losses lies with you, and your bank isn\u2019t obliged to refund your money #TicketFraud http:\/\/www.getsafeonline.org\/tickets<\/a><\/p>\n

Before buying tickets online check that the website is genuine (carefully enter the address yourself, not from a link) and secure (\u2018https\u2019 and a locked padlock) and log out when you\u2019re done. Check the site at www.getsafeonline.org\/checkawebsite<\/a> #TicketFraud<\/p>\n
