  • Know your vendor - Make sure you are buying from a reputable website, especially before providing any personal financial information. As an additional resource, try researching the ticket seller on the Better Business Bureau's national website.
  • Use credit - If you purchase tickets online it is recommended that you complete your transaction using a credit card.
