Garth Brooks Concert Excitement Creates Potential for Ticket Scams

The fact that Garth Brooks sold out six shows at the Denny Sanford Premier Center in Sioux Falls in under 30 minutes is a testament to his continued popularity. It also creates a situation that is ripe for scammers.

Schmidt has some suggestions for how the public can protect themselves.

Schmidt says it’s important to work with trusted ticket brokers who will guarantee the integrity of the tickets they sell.
