Does Ticketmaster refund scams?

Ticketmaster may refund you if your account is hacked or subject to data breach and your tickets are stolen. However, if you buy a fake Ticketmaster ticket from a third party, you’re better off contacting your card issuer or PayPal to dispute the charges. If you paid for a scam ticket with gift cards or some other third-party app, you’re out of luck.

Is Ticketmaster legit?

Yes. In fact, one of the few ways to avoid getting scammed is by purchasing event tickets directly through Ticketmaster or the venue’s box office. While Ticketmaster has faced controversy due to monopoly accusations and a 2024 data breach, it remains a reliable and legitimate platform for buying event tickets.

Can someone transfer fake tickets through Ticketmaster?

No, it’s not possible to transfer fake tickets through the official Ticketmaster app. All tickets transferred within the app are verified and reissued directly by Ticketmaster, ensuring authenticity. For the safest experience when buying resale tickets, use Ticketmaster Resale to guarantee that tickets are valid and backed by Ticketmaster’s security protections.

Is Ticketmaster Resale legit?

Yes, Ticketmaster Resale is legitimate. When you buy a ticket through Ticketmaster Resale, it’s reissued in your name with a unique, verified barcode that can only be accessed through your Ticketmaster account. This prevents duplicates or counterfeits and ensures the ticket is valid for entry.

How do you verify Ticketmaster tickets?

You can verify that a Ticketmaster ticket is real by viewing it in your Ticketmaster app. Ticketmaster can’t verify tickets purchased from a third party.
