"Whether you're one of the tens of thousands in the stadium or the millions watching on TV, the Super Bowl is an opportunity to see some great football and world-class entertainment. But it's also an opportunity for scammers to take advantage of fans and other members of the public. Ticket fraud is the most common risk, with fake tickets being promoted and sold through social media posts, email, text messages,"
"and resale forums. Scammers may send images of tickets that look legitimate but won't get you into the stadium. Requests to pay by wire transfer, gift card, cryptocurrency, or person-to-person payment apps are major red flags, especially when the seller pressures buyers to act fast. If you're looking for a ticket, make sure you're dealing with legitimate sellers or resellers such as NFL.com, Levi's Stadium, or well-known ticket brokers like StubHub"
Super Bowl events create opportunities for ticket, lodging, merchandise, and contest scams that target fans in-person and online. Fake tickets are commonly promoted via social media, email, text messages, and resale forums; images can appear legitimate but fail at entry. Requests for wire transfers, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or person-to-person payment apps are red flags, especially with high-pressure sellers. Legitimate sellers include NFL.com, Levi's Stadium, and major brokers like StubHub or Ticketmaster, but prices can be extremely high. Watch for contests requesting personal information or processing fees, lodging bookings that don't exist, and counterfeit merchandise that either never arrives or is low quality.
