The Dubai Police have issued an alert to residents regarding a surge in fake ticket scams during major events in the city. Authorities warn the public to remain vigilant and cautious when purchasing tickets for concerts, sports matches, and other large gatherings.
According to the police, scammers are increasingly using social media platforms and unofficial websites to sell counterfeit tickets, often at prices that seem too good to be true. Victims of these scams may find themselves denied entry at event venues, losing both their money and opportunity to attend.
To protect themselves, residents are advised to:
- Purchase tickets only from official event websites or authorized sellers.
- Verify the authenticity of tickets through official channels or event organizers.
- Avoid sharing personal or payment information with unverified third parties.
- Report any suspicious activity or fraudulent listings to Dubai Police immediately.
The Dubai Police continue to work closely with event organizers and online platforms to detect and dismantle these fraudulent operations, ensuring a safer experience for attendees.
