It\u2019s the day many football fans have been waiting for: single-game tickets for the Seattle Seahawks go on sale Monday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Last year the coveted tickets sold out within minutes, leaving many fans desperate to find alternative ways to score tickets. Better Business Bureau<\/a> serving Alaska, Oregon and Western Washington reminds consumers to tread carefully when searching for tickets, considering a number of them may be fake.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n BBB offers the following tips to Hawk fans:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u2022 Use credit cards when buying game tickets. If the tickets don\u2019t arrive or turn out to be fakes, charges can be disputed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u2022 Never wire money. Con artists often use classified websites such as Craigslist to post non-existent tickets, and then ask for payment to be wired.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u2022 Inspect the tickets carefully. If the tickets appear suspicious, walk away. Look for smeared ink, uneven edges and flimsy paper.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u2022 Buy from a credible source. Online classified ads list thousands of sports tickets, but oftentimes there are no guarantees and sellers don\u2019t have to provide identification to list tickets. Always research ticket sellers and brokers first at bbb.org.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
