- Check the link before you click: use and purchase tickets from official websites only. Check website URLs carefully and be wary of deals that seem too good to be true.
- Protect your payment: do not share personal information unless you have verified the website. Use traceable payment methods like a credit card and enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) to help protect accounts if your information is stolen.
