With big events coming to the Valley next year and tickets going on sale, including Lady Gaga’s Mayhem Ball and the 2026 Innings Festival, Attorney General Kris Mayes is reminding consumers to watch out for ticket scams. Scam artists may try to sell counterfeit tickets before legitimate ones are on the market. Scammers may also use fraudulent ticket websites to resell a ticket that doesn’t exist or resell original tickets that have been voided because they have already been re-sold via online ticketing re-sale websites.

“With most tickets sold digitally these days, it’s even more important when making purchases to verify that you’re buying from an authorized vendor,” said Attorney General Mayes.
