TYLER \u2013 Daniel Hartley and his wife bought tickets to see Bob Dylan in Tyler, but after finding out the show has been sold out for a while, the $1300 they paid is out the door. According to our news partner KETK, David’s wife bought two tickets for $1300 and printed them out but to their surprise, they didn\u2019t have their name on them and listed prices of $135 each.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe people that are out there now are just absolute pros. They can make anything look perfect and get your dough and be gone out the back door before you can do anything,\u201d Hartley said.<\/p>\n
When Hartley called to the Cowan Center, they told him the concert has been sold out for a while now.
\nHartley went back to the E-tickets website, which is the it\u2019s the first site to pop up on Google, but the $600 tickets they bought are still on the site and are now listed for $720.<\/p>\n
On the Cowan Center\u2019s website, there are Xs on the seats, indicating a sold-out show, but Hartley wonders why it wasn\u2019t the first link to clink on through Google and why there\u2019s not a \u201csold out\u201d stamp on the site.
\n.
\nHartley said The Cowan Center told him this has happened multiple times before.<\/p>\n
Beverley Golden with Cowan Center Strategic Communication & Media Relations said, \u201cWe have not had tickets for the Bob Dylan performance available on our website for several weeks. Unfortunately, there are third?party brokers and resellers who list tickets at prices far above face value, creating the appearance of availability when our performances are actually sold out. To protect our patrons, we strongly discourage purchasing tickets from unauthorized sources and encourage patrons to use our official channels to ensure a safe and reliable ticketing experience. The only safe place to purchase Cowan Center tickets is directly through our box office\u2014either online at cowancenter.org <\/a>or by phone at 903-566-7424. Tickets offered on other websites or through other services may be lost, stolen, counterfeit or otherwise invalid. In those cases, admission to the performance cannot be guaranteed.\u201d <\/p>\n If you suspect fraud, you can report the website to the Federal trade Commission. The FTC website <\/a>says they can share reports with law enforcement to help with investigations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" TYLER \u2013 Daniel Hartley and his wife bought tickets to see Bob Dylan in Tyler, but after finding out the show has been sold out for a while, the $1300 they paid is out the door.
