General sales for Taylor's London and Edinburgh shows began today
Taylor Swift fans have been warned of potential scams when purchasing resale tickets after the Ticketmaster general sales for her London and Edinburgh shows started today.
Ticketmaster’s systems crashed in March when sales for the first leg of the tour began, which could happen again this week. There were also several reports of fans getting scammed.Some fans lost as much as $2,500 for tickets that don't exist or never arrived, according to reports. The Better Business Bureau also is said to have received almost 200 complaints in the US related to the Eras tour, ranging from refund struggles to outright scams.
Such seller practices should always raise a red flag. Try to avoid sellers advertising through social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.Whatever ticket you’re trying to purchase, request that the seller send you a recent photo of it or a screenshot of the ticket confirmation. Ask them to set the printed-out ticket or confirmation next to a piece of paper with your name written on it, for example.
With the demand for the Eras Tour set to be so high, resold tickets will most likely be overpriced. Remember, if the price seems way too good to be true, it most likely is.Ideally, the seller should have reviews on their profile from previous buyers that you can read. Also be aware of too many positive reviews which sound the same.
