SALT LAKE CITY — Recently, a few people have been scammed as they were trying to buy tickets to William Christensen’s The Nutcracker in downtown Salt Lake City.
“Go direct. Don’t try and do it online. I thought I was going direct, just called the theater,” said Margo Cowley, who was scammed.
As holiday festivities continue, Ballet West is telling visitors it’s safest to buy tickets from their website.
“I thought that was expensive, but I thought it was because it was Nutcracker at Christmas. That’s probably why they were and they were pretty good tickets so I didn’t give it a lot more thought,” said Cowley.
Going to William Christensen’s The Nutcracker is something many enjoy every Christmas.
“All the families that come in are so excited. This is an annual tradition for so many families. Kids, we like to say of all ages, they’re coming every year. They’re so excited when they walk into the lobby,” said Andrew Goldberg, the senior director of external affairs for Ballet West.
Cowley shared that she thought she was purchasing valid seats from gotickets.com but one day got an unusual call after she paid.
