There’s now a site that identifies fake sellers of fake concert tickets in real time.

Here’s the problem with outlawing legitimate secondary ticket sellers like StubHub: Because there will always, ALWAYS be demand for a hot ticket, there will always, ALWAYS be a way for someone to capitalize on that demand, be they buying or selling.

If there’s no way to buy a ticket from a company that’s run ethically and under the law, then the whole process moves underground. That’s when fraud and rip-offs happen. Enter the Fix the Tix Fan Action Center.

This is a new digital hub that allows people to track ticket scammers, contact authorities about scammers, and report deceptive ticket sale practices. And it all happens in real time, too. Yes, it’s an American site, but given that online ticket sales stretch across all borders, it’s still helpful.

The National Independent Venue Alliance (NIVA) knows too well about these sorts of criminals. The organization recently found 6,000 URLs that weren’t above board, luring in people with promises of tickets that don’t exist.

Here’s a handy list of sites you should NEVER visit whilst looking for tickets.

NIVA is also demanding that the big boys (StubHub, Viagogo, TicketNetwork, et al) to immediately terminate any relationship they have with the scammers.
