Originally Published 2 years ago — by KSTP

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison warns Taylor Swift fans to be cautious of ticket scams when searching for last-minute tickets to the sold-out Eras Tour at U.S. Bank Stadium. Some secondhand sellers are scamming people out of as much as $2,500 for tickets that never come through, using fake screenshots of tickets that either don’t exist or have already been claimed. Ellison advises ticket buyers to stick to reputable websites, use credit cards for purchases, and check for secure URLs and accurate seat information. Fans who suspect they have been defrauded can file a complaint with the Attorney General’s Office online.
