4 mistakes to avoid when buying sports tickets online

For most sports enthusiasts, watching their favorite team play on the field live is a dream come true. It all starts with buying a ticket, which can sometimes be challenging. However, the digital era has simplified how people purchase sports tickets. Many customers are now accustomed to the convenience of online purchases. Although there are numerous platforms where one can buy sports tickets, individuals must avoid mistakes that could get them scammed.

Not checking if the seller is reliable
If an individual is new to online ticket booking, they must be careful where they buy the ticket from. With innumerable options available, it can be hard to determine if a certain ticket-selling platform is reliable or a scam. Plus, one may even find several online promotions claiming to sell tickets for upcoming sports events. In such cases, one must be careful about not trusting a random ad. The safest option for individuals would be to check which online ticket-sellers are reliable before purchasing. For this, they can look up the reviews of sellers or check their ratings on trusted websites.

Not staying prepared
Getting tickets for a sports event can be highly competitive; although thousands of tickets may be available, they can get sold out in a matter of seconds. So, if one plans to book tickets for a particular event, it is advised to stay prepared. Decide on the dates one wants to attend the event and the seats one wishes to select beforehand. This way, as soon as the ticket sale goes live, one can quickly make the bookings without wasting time.

Not checking if the payment website is safe
When buying sports tickets online, one should also be mindful of the payment gateway. Before entering any payment details, individuals must check if the website they’ve been redirected to is safe and authentic. One way to do this is by checking the URL of the page. If the URL begins with “https,” it is considered safe. However, if it begins with “http” and does not have the “s” at the end, the website is unsafe. Some browsers also denote secure websites with a closed padlock icon and unsafe websites with an open padlock. The websites that are not marked safe could be fraudulent. Entering payment details on such platforms could mean that individuals are making themselves vulnerable to malicious entities who could exploit their confidential information.

Not using credit card to make payments
Another mistake to avoid when making payments for online sports tickets is ignoring one’s credit card. Credit card payments offer an extra layer of security by allowing users to report any unauthorized transaction happening during the process as a ‘disputed transaction.’ This would halt the payment process, making credit cards a much safer choice.
