- Find the BBB Online seal and click on the link to ensure that it is valid.
- Do not make transactions outside of BBB approved websites if the deal is made on the site.
- Pay only with PayPal or Credit Cards to ensure some kind of protection. NEVER CASH.
- Scrutinize the tickets closely for inaccuracies or alterations.
- On game day, have the seller to walk to the stadium gates with you to ensure the tickets are scanned. Plus, get a photo of the seller and their ID card.
