Richmond Ren Faire organizers warn of ticket scams ahead of inaugural event in Varina
Organizers say tickets are not set up for resale and warn that people buying from strangers online will be denied entry at the gate with invalid tickets
Organizers of the first-ever Richmond Ren Faire are warning the public about widespread ticket scams ahead of the highly anticipated event.
In an Instagram post on Sunday afternoon, organizers said bots and a Facebook group with nearly 1,000 members are targeting people looking for resale tickets.
"Our tickets are not set up for resale," organizers wrote.
They noted that an overwhelming number of people have reached out to verify tickets purchased online, and nearly all have been scams.
"Please do not buy tickets from strangers online. In addition to us not wanting you guys to get screwed over, we are concerned about the issues that this may cause at the gate with people showing up anticipating entry and being denied with invalid tickets," organizers said.
