Concert, sports and theater tickets, with scam protection first. Buy from the venue, team or artist's official seller when you can, and type the address yourself, because scam sites buy search ads that look like the real thing. Pay by credit card, never gift cards, wire, crypto or payment apps, and be wary of screenshots or paper tickets for events that use mobile tickets. Since May 12, 2025, the FTC fee rule requires ticket sellers to show the total price, mandatory fees included, upfront. The BOTS Act bans bots that dodge ticket limits. Report problems to the FTC, BBB or IC3. Resale sites below are commercial.
