Link Safety
A ticket link is not proof of ownership.
Sometimes people paste a Ticketmaster/AXS/StubHub (or similar) resale link on their page and then DM you offering a “better” price or asking you to pay them directly. They may have copied the link from someone else or scraped it from a public listing — a link alone does not prove they own or control the ticket.
Okay
If you are buying directly through Ticketmaster, AXS, StubHub, SeatGeek, or another trusted resale checkout, follow that platform’s checkout process.
Be careful
If someone sends you a ticket link but asks you to pay them directly to avoid fees, the link alone does not prove they own or control the ticket.
The link may show a real ticket, a real listing, or a real checkout page. But you still may not know whether the person you are talking to is the person who owns that ticket.
They could be sharing someone else’s listing, copying a link from another seller, or using a link that does not belong to them.
A link can help you view a ticket or listing. It should not be treated as proof that the person messaging you owns the ticket.
