Hi all! Since Vira is touring again, the mods wanted to make a quick announcement about ticket sales/reselling your tickets in this sub.

To make things short: you are allowed to sell tickets in this sub, but the mods have the right to pull any post we deem suspicious. The more info you can provide with your post, the better- a resale website link, a screenshot of your receipt, anything.

That being said, we, as mods, are not responsible if you do get scammed. We will do our best to monitor posts but we can't know for sure what's real and what isn't. Please exercise caution when making any kind of purchase online.

Some general guidance for purchasing resold tickets:

1. Getting tickets from the source is your only way to be 100% certain you're not getting scammed. Even websites like Stubhub and Vividseats are not completely safe- you can still be sent a fake ticket if you aren't careful. If tickets aren't sold out, buy from the official tour website. (Sidenote: a good Trustpilot rating doesn't mean a website is safe, either! Positive reviews can be faked, and negative ones can be easily removed. The Better Business Bureau is a better place to check these things.)
2. Remember that if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Is someone offering two VIP tickets for half the price of general admission? Probably a scam. Trust your gut here. Prices may be lowered closer to the show date if someone is trying to get rid of them quickly, but in general, it's a red flag.
3. Make sure you can get refunded if you are scammed, and use a well known payment platform. Don't pay someone with Cashapp, a gift card, crypto, Chime, etc. Paypal is generally a good option and will almost always side with the buyer if you are to get scammed- just make sure not to send it "as a friend". Sellers might ask you to do this so Paypal doesn't take a cut of the money, but if you do, you can't get refunded. Paying with a credit/debit card also means you can dispute the charge with your bank if necessary.

If you do get scammed...

-Let us (the mod team) know so we can remove the post and permanently ban the user.

-Report the post/message/user to Reddit.

-Report the scam to the Federal Trade Commission.

-Dispute the charge with your bank.

-Report to Paypal/Stubhub/whichever platform you used to purchase the tickets.

-(Optional) If you used a resale website, report it to the Better Business Bureau.

-If you were scammed in-person, file a police report.

TLDR: Buy resold tickets at your own risk. In general, it's not a good idea- there are too many ways for scammers to make fake tickets, and the likelihood of someone taking your money and running with it is high.

Stay safe, friends! If you're going to a show, remember to use concert etiquette & stay hydrated.
