1: Purchase from a legitimate resale platform
If there isn’t a secure payment method it should raise a red flag. Avoid sellers advertising through social media platforms such as Meta, X, Instagram and others. Do not pay by direct bank transfer before seeing or receiving the product.
2: Demand current photos of the product
These should be confirmations that you can followup on. If the reseller is unwilling to provide any proof, don’t proceed.
3: Beware of extremely low prices
Yep, the old adage holds here. if it seems to good to be true. It probably is.
4: Only purchase from sellers you trust
All tickets from secondary sites are bought at your own risk, so always do research to confirm the legitimacy of the seller. At the very least, if something suspicious appears, you have more information at your disposal before purchasing.
5: Maybe Miami?
Seatpick notes that the average price of tickets to the Oct. 20 show in Miami is $1,204. At that rate, it could be cheaper to fly south for a few days.
