Looking for last-minute BTS tickets? Beware of scammers

How it works

Fraudsters post ticket listings on resale sites, social media, or text fans directly with offers for hard-to-find seats. They pressure buyers to act fast by claiming inventory is nearly gone. Once payment is sent, the buyer receives a fake ticket, an invalid code, or nothing at all.

Red flags to watch for

• Seller refuses to use official ticket resale platforms
• Price is significantly below market rate
• Seller demands payment via wire transfer, gift card, or cryptocurrency
• Seller insists on immediate payment to hold the ticket
• Tickets sent as a photo or screenshot, not a official transfer

What to do

Do not buy tickets from unknown sellers outside official channels. Purchase only through the venue's official website, authorized resellers, or verified ticket platforms. If you receive a ticket code, log into your account on the official site and verify the ticket is valid before paying anyone. Report suspected scams to the platform and to reportfraud.ftc.gov.
