Recently, a friend was looking online to scoop up some tickets to an alpine skiing event for the February Olympic games in Vancouver.
But where do you start looking? The internet sounded most logical for starting the search. A quick Google search yielded an advertised link on the search page that stated they had tickets galore. Right on.
A bushel full of clicks later, and he was on the final page of buying his way onto the slopes of Whistler. But upon further examination, there were some quirky words on the confirmation page. What is "test shipping"? Doesn't sound reliable. Hmm...
Or what about using "Courier 39" to ensure the tickets make it to your mailbag. Not a clue who he is, but he must be good if he goes by that Bond-like moniker.
After a friend had dropped $419 on tickets to the supercombine event, it gives me pause to think about how easy and frequent sports ticket scamming goes on. I mean, right now, there has to be fraudulent tickets for the Olympics, the Super Bowl, the World Cup and the NBA All-Star game.
I'm not sleuth, but just watch where you get this from. Don't take every "Sullivan Boutique" seriously if they say they've got just what you're looking for.
