Scammers may sell counterfeit physical paper tickets or fraudulent PDFs.
Extremely low prices for popular events are often a sign of a scam.
Buying tickets on Craigslist is high-risk and generally discouraged due to the prevalence of fraud, such as selling used, counterfeit, or nonexistent tickets. While deals may exist, scammers often use Craigslist because of its anonymous nature and lack of protection for users.
A common scam involves selling valid, electronic tickets and then canceling them or re-issuing them to someone else, rendering your ticket useless.
Sellers who refuse to meet in person or insist on payment via wire transfer, cashier’s check, or gift cards are usually scammers.
