People across metro Atlanta seeing show tickets being stolen out of their Ticketmaster accounts

Ticketmaster customers say their tickets for concerts and events are being stolen from their Ticketmaster accounts after the company suffered a data breach earlier this year.

One of those people was Eric Rein, of Canton.

“Poof. Gone,” Rein said is what happened to the tickets he bought his daughter for Christmas as a present.

They were transferred right out of her Ticketmaster account last week.

“She hadn’t initiated anything. Someone just accessed the account, and transferred the tickets,” Rein told Channel 2 consumer investigator Justin Gray.

Gwinnett County resident Annie Wells had the same thing happen last week to her tickets to Disney on Ice and Post Malone.

“I opened my Ticketmaster app to see four of our tickets for the event on Sunday had been claimed by this random name and they were gone,” Wells said.

Ticketmaster customers all across the country have reported similar issues in recent days.

Seattle resident Virginia Lasky saw 14 tickets disappear.

“When I clicked on the tickets one by one, it showed they had all been transferred and claimed,” Lasky said.
