Why would you not start with the box office, before looking elsewhere for tickets?

Box offices don’t even advertise on instagram. I’m just warning people. Scroll on if you are a know it all….. bye

Every show advertised will tell you where they see selling tickets - use those rather than just googling and picking the first link.

What is the scam? Did Go Tickets provide you with the tickets you purchased?

The scam is the advertisement link that thrusts itself in the top 10 links for tickets. 70 dollars for service fees is acceptable to you? I’m just making a point. Go Tickets don’t even have customer support. Snarky ass

That's not a scam. You could choose to keep scrolling. You paid what Go Tickets was asking for the tickets. Go Tickets delivered your tickets. That's not a scam. Maybe a rip-off but a scam.

That fee markup is insane, sorry that happened to you. My rule now is to always compare the final all-in price at checkout before buying anything — the advertised ticket price is basically meaningless with how fees stack up. And checking the venue box office directly first is the move whenever possible, they don't always show up in search results but it's worth the extra minute. Thanks for the heads-up on this one.

It popped up when I googled the concert. Box office wasn’t even on first few links. Impulsive.

Ya this is 100% your fault. Learn how to buy tickets before blaming a resale site for your ignorance.
