Ticket scam warning
Fake Ticketmaster Website
A screenshot or screen recording of a ticket-transfer website is not proof that a seller owns or transferred a ticket. Scammers can build a working imitation site, enter your email and display a fake transfer confirmation.

Fake Ticketmaster Website Example
In this reported example, the buyer received a fake Ticketmaster transfer email. Its link opened an imitation acceptance page on ticketmasstar.com—a misspelled lookalike domain, not Ticketmaster.com.
The email and website support the same false story. Neither proves that a ticket exists or was transferred.
How the Fake Website Scam Works
- The scammer creates or opens an imitation transfer site.
- They send a screenshot or screen recording showing your email, event and seats.
- The fake site displays a transfer-success message, but it is not connected to the real ticketing platform.
- The scammer uses the recording to pressure you into paying.
The scam can remain on the seller's screen or continue into the buyer's inbox. If you receive a transfer message, inspect its full sender address and destination domain. See our guide to fake Ticketmaster emails and domains.
How to Check a Ticket Transfer
- Open it yourself. Open the official Ticketmaster, team, venue or event-organizer app independently. Do not navigate from a suspicious message.
- Check the full URL. A Ticketmaster logo or familiar design does not make a website official.
- Check your account. Confirm that the event, quantity and seats appear in your own account before treating the transfer as real.
- Stop if unsure. Do not enter information into or interact with a suspicious site.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can someone make a fake Ticketmaster website?
Yes. A scammer can build an imitation ticket-transfer website that looks interactive and displays a fake success message. A working page does not prove that it is connected to Ticketmaster or that any ticket was transferred.
Can a Ticketmaster screen recording be fake?
Yes. A screen recording can show a fake website controlled by the scammer. It only proves that a page appeared on the seller's screen.
How do I know whether a ticket transfer is real?
Open the official ticketing or event-organizer app independently and sign in to your own account. Do not pay based only on a seller's screenshot, screen recording, email, link or transfer-success page.
