- Call the toll-free number on the back of your credit or debit card
- Or contact the third-party payment provider, like PayPal or Venmo
- Explain the fake ticket, where you purchased it, the date, and so on — the more information you can provide, the better!
- Ask for a refund
- Write down any confirmation numbers
- And wait for your refund

How to Avoid Buying Fake SeatGeek Tickets in the Future
The best way to avoid concert ticket scams is to buy tickets directly from providers like SeatGeek, Eventbrite, and Ticketmaster. Or go directly to the local venue and buy them at the box office in person. Keep receipts!
- Never pay cash for event tickets. Always use a credit card, debit card, or other third-party payment providers. This is an added layer of protection.
- Never use Western Union to pay for event tickets. You'll have no recourse if they're fake.
And lastly, don't trust scalpers. Modern technology just makes it too easy to create fake tickets at home. It takes a printer, scanner, some good ink, and heavy-duty cardstock for printing. Fake tickets can fool the human eye but not the scanners used in the box office.
