MATTHEWS, NC (January 27, 2021) — In light of COVID-19, many entertainment venues have canceled or postponed performances and sporting events. The 2021 Super Bowl IS happening, however, in Tampa, Florida on February 7. The National Football League (NFL) has announced that about 22,000 fans can attend, with 7,500 of those being free tickets for vaccinated health care workers. That means that 14,500 tickets will be sold.
Here is what you need to know about online ticket purchases.
Thanks to the internet, there are countless ways for consumers to find tickets and connect with online marketplaces, ticket sellers and resellers. Unfortunately, some of them are rip-offs, and it’s not always clear how to tell if a ticket is fake. Last year, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) received more than 200 reports on BBB Scam Tracker about ticket scams related to sporting events, concerts, theatre and more.
BBB is warning consumers to be smart when searching for and purchasing tickets, to ensure they are purchasing from a trustworthy source. BBB and the National Association of Ticket Brokers are working to raise awareness and educate fans about the smartest ways to buy tickets on the secondary resale market.
Here are some tips for buying tickets, whether you are looking for tickets for a game or any other event:
