Beware! Hackers are getting into Ticketmaster accounts and stealing tickets

Two sisters who go to Belmont University wanted to go to the Charli XCX show at the Bridgestone Arena this week.

So their mom bought tickets for them several months ago. But last week, those tickets mysteriously disappeared out of her Ticketmaster account. And apparently she’s not the only one.

“My daughters were very excited to see the show with friends,” Michelle Wise said.

Her two daughters love Charli XCX.

“I saw a message pop up on my phone that my tickets were being transferred,” Wise said. “And it was horrifying because I knew I wasn’t transferring the tickets. I was the only one that had access to my account. And I just watched in a flash the tickets just leave.”

I found the same situation is suddenly happening to Ticketmaster customers across the country. There are posts online describing how tickets are mysteriously being transferred out of customers’ accounts to virtual strangers.

In fact, when Wise called her credit card company to report what had happened, she learned she wasn’t alone.
