BOSTON (WBZNewsRadio) - A major glitch on Ticketmaster Tuesday had fans of Taylor Swift seeing red and now as concert-goers search for tickets, Boston police are warning buyers of potential ticket scams.
Swift is set to headline three shows at Gillette Stadium on May 19, 20 and 21. Sales for the nation-wide Eras Tour started Tuesday for a Verified Fan pre-sale. Fans waited for hours in virtual queues only to walk away ticketless.
Ticketmaster has since postponed several additional pre-sale events. General tickets go on sale Friday Nov. 18 at 10 a.m.
Boston police released a warning Tuesday evening.
"The Boston Police Department reminds fans to be wary of counterfeit tickets and encourages them to only acquire tickets from authorized agencies. Anyone who purchases tickets from a secondary source are taking a chance and do so at their own risk."
Police added that if anyone has any information about the selling of counterfeit tickets, you should contact police. You can also anonymously contact CrimeStoppers at 1-800-494-TIPS or by texting the word 'TIP' to CRIME (27463)
