Concerts are especially popular during summer months. As a result, scammers have found a way to use this to their advantage.

Be on the lookout for any sellers that tell a sad story about why they can’t use their tickets, can only accept cash, want you to wire the money or transfer through a prepaid account, or who pressure you to act quickly. Make sure to always buy your tickets from a reputable source!
