Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford is warning consumers to be alert when purchasing tickets from a reseller, or for events advertised online. Nevada’s popularity as a tourist destination makes it a prime target for selling fake events and counterfeit tickets. Before purchasing tickets consumers should research the company hosting the event. Pay close attention to whether consumers have posted complaints about not receiving refunds or attending an event that did not exist. Whenever possible, use a credit card to pay , it gives the option of stopping payment or requesting a refund through your credit card company.
