Taylor Swift ticket demand has created numerous opportunities for scams. Here's how to protect yourself when buying tickets on the secondary market.

Only purchase tickets from authorized vendors to ensure authenticity. The Better Business Bureau and law enforcement agencies warn that scammers often lure fans with suspiciously low prices for counterfeit tickets.

Safe buying tips:

• Use established secondary markets like StubHub, Vivid Seats, or SeatGeek
• Only pay with credit cards for purchase protection
• Avoid sellers requesting gift cards, wire transfers, or cash
• Carefully inspect physical tickets for errors or inconsistencies
• Be wary of prices that seem too good to be true

Current resale prices on legitimate sites range from around $600 average to upwards of $35,000 for premium seats. While these prices are inflated, purchasing through authorized vendors ensures you'll receive valid tickets.

When examining tickets, check for:

• Correct event details
• Clear, legible text
• Proper spelling
• Professional appearance
• Authentic venue information

Remember that invalid or counterfeit tickets cannot be used for entry, and payments made through unofficial channels are usually impossible to recover. Always prioritize security over finding the lowest price.
