HARRISBURG – PA Attorney General Dave Sunday is warning consumers to be aware of scams regarding tickets and merchandise for Super Bowl LIX, as bad actors will target fans in the days leading up to the big game. Sunday said while Eagles fans are excited and gearing up for the big game, scammers are hoping to take advantage of eager consumers. The Attorney General’s Bureau of Consumer Protection offered tips when buying Super Bowl tickets, trip packages, or merchandise. Watch the websites you visit; Review your cart before checking out when purchasing tickets as some may charge fees at checkout; Be cautious of using search engines to find potential ticket sellers and stick to websites you are familiar with; Avoid buying tickets from someone you have not met; Be wary of sellers asking for payment in gift cards, money orders, cryptocurrency or wire transfers; and Trust your common sense. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
