First signal: the price. In Belgium, as in France and in certain other countries, it is forbidden to resell a concert or festival ticket at a price higher than that of the ticket. If the seller offers to buy the ticket back for more than its original price, it is at the very least illegal.
If you are looking for a ticket to a soldout concert, pay close attention to search engine results. Very often, the first websites referenced are fraudulent.
“Check if the site is trustworthy.warns Etienne Mignolet, therefore check whether there are legal notices, a company number, a point of contact. You can also check on the internet the opinions of other Internet users.“.
When it’s too good to be true, it often isn’t
We were contacted by a Stromae fan who had bought concert tickets on the best-ticket.com site. A correct-looking site, even if it contains some spelling mistakes in its French version and offers for sale concerts that have already taken place, in 2022.
Following the cancellation of the Belgian singer’s tour, the refund never arrived and for good reason, our fan of Stromae was probably fooled. A little tour on le site internet Trustpilot shows that many other Internet users are implicating this website in cases of ticket resale scams.
If it is impossible to find tickets for a concert but an unknown website offers you many, be careful. As Etienne Mignolet reminds us: “When it’s too good to be true, it often isn’t“.
