Fake tickets to attractions and events: how to buy safely

You want to visit an attraction or attend an event and many sites sell tickets. Some resell at a markup and others sell outright fake tickets.

How to buy

Buy through the official channel

Go through the attraction's or organiser's official website and check that the domain and price match.

Be careful with resale

Resellers can charge much more and don't always guarantee entry. Read the terms and who is responsible if it fails.

How to verify

How to verify the ticket

Check it has a valid booking code or QR, the right date and time, and that the name matches the purchase.

If in doubt

Contact the attraction through its official channels with your code; and if you paid by card, ask your bank about a dispute.
