JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey warns concert goers to be wary of any suspicious ticket offerings and to take steps to protect themselves ahead of Taylor Swift’s tour arriving in Kansas City, Missouri in the coming weeks.
Taylor Swift will be in Kansas City, Missouri on July 7th and 8th at Arrowhead Stadium. Dates for her “Eras” tour are highly sought-after tickets, with shows selling out in mere minutes. Attorney General Bailey wants to help fans avoid falling victim to predatory schemes, and reinforce that his office is ready to assist if concert goers believe they have been scammed.
“I want to educate Missourians on potential ticket scams during the summer concert season, which is when scammers often prey on innocent consumers,” said Attorney General Bailey. “With Taylor Swift and other music superstars making stops in Missouri, we want to ensure that consumers have the right tools at their disposal, which includes the Attorney General’s Office. We will pursue anyone who attempts to take advantage of Missourians who have saved their hard-earned money to attend Taylor Swift’s concert.”
This phenomenon has received attention nationwide, as Taylor Swift fans in other states have lost thousands of dollars without ever receiving their tickets.
Attorney General Bailey provides the following tips to be vigilant when buying concert tickets:
