NY Attorney General James Urges New Yorkers to Be Cautious of Fake Bad Bunny Concert Tickets

Published Date: Aug 12, 2025

New York Attorney General Letitia James issued a consumer alert warning New Yorkers of fake or invalid tickets to Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio “Bad Bunny” concerts. Bad Bunny, a popular Puerto Rican musician with a fan base in New York and around the world, is performing concerts in San Juan, Puerto Rico through September 14, 2025. The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) received a complaint from New Yorkers who purchased tickets to the concert and traveled to Puerto Rico but were denied entry to the concert because they were told their tickets were invalid. Attorney General James urges New Yorkers to follow tips provided by her office to avoid concert ticket scams and to contact her office if they were sold fake or invalid tickets by filing a complaint online.

“Bad Bunny is a musical icon in New York, and scammers are taking advantage of his popularity to sell fake concert tickets,” said Attorney General James. “People have paid thousands of dollars to travel to Puerto Rico and see Bad Bunny perform, only to be turned away at the door because the tickets they were sold were fake. Too often, scammers take advantage of big events to dupe people out of their hard-earned money, and I am urging New Yorkers to take caution when purchasing their Bad Bunny concert tickets.”
