Attorney General-elect Liz Murrill with Ed O'Callaghan. November 29, 2023.
Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill is warning fans about ticket scams as Big Game activities continue in New Orleans. She cautions that major events like the Super Bowl attract scammers who deceive unsuspecting buyers with fake merchandise and tickets.
“I went down and picked up and looked at some rings and jerseys and they look real. They have really thick logos on them. They do not have the hologram they are not officially sanctioned merchandise.”
Murrell advises purchasing tickets only from reputable sources and verifying the seller’s identity, as scammers may use hacked social media accounts, and scammers can get personal information.
“It’s masking of their real objection and that can cause identity theft, and you can lose a lot more than the amount of money you were using to buy that merchandise.”
Murrell reminds attendees the Superdome does not accept paper or PDF tickets, so buyers should ensure they receive valid mobile tickets.
