The Wichita Falls Police Department’s Financial Crimes Unit would like to remind people to be cautious when purchasing tickets to special events and recreational parks online. The old adage, ‘If it seems too good to be true, it probably is,” is always a good reminder.
When purchasing tickets online from a third party and not an official vendor it is a case of “Buyer beware.” The tickets may be fraudulent and you run the risk of the tickets not being accepted by the venue you are trying to enter.
If you do decide to purchase a ticket from a third party remember that a physical ticket is always better than a digital one. Fraudulent digital tickets and codes can be easily reproduced.
Be careful in how you make any purchase from an unauthorized ticket seller. Never give the seller access to your personal financial account information. And, if you meet in person do so in a public place and bring a friend with you.
