Buyer beware: The sort of ticket scam you should pay attention to

Aug 8, 2023, 12:34 PM | Updated: 12:49 pm

Imagine showing up to a game with your spouse and three kids, and the tickets you purchased don’t exist. That’s exactly what happened to Andrew “Chef” Lanie, producer of the Gee & Ursula show.

Chef bought three tickets to an Everett Aquasox game only to arrive at the stadium to find out there were no tickets.

Gee on Lizzo facing sexual harassment lawsuit: ‘I didn’t want to believe it’

He purchased the tickets from a website called TicketCenter with a logo suspiciously similar to TicketMaster. He even talked to a representative after he realized the tickets had not been emailed to him.

Listen to Gee Scott and Ursula Reutin weekday mornings from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. on KIRO Newsradio, 97.3 FM. Subscribe to the podcast here.
