Week 12: Ticket scammers target buyers and sellers

25.03.2025 - We regularly receive reports of ticket fraud, and with ticket sales for this year’s open-air season and the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest about to begin, the number of scams is likely to increase in the coming weeks. Scammers take advantage of the fact that demand for tickets outstrips supply: they resell tickets at inflated prices, sell counterfeit tickets and put fake ads on the internet. In an unusual and frequently reported scam, they try to lure their victims to a fake website. Exercise caution and don’t let scammers fool you.
