Officials are warning Utahns to exercise caution when considering secondary markets for tickets to NBAAllStar Weekend events.
Workers past banners on the Salt Palace for All-Star Weekend, on Saturday, Feb. 11, 2023.Lehi resident Jenny Williams wanted to buy tickets to the NBA All-Star Game for her 16-year-old son and 21-year-old daughter. So she said she did what many Utahns do: She went to KSL Classifieds looking for a deal.
With the NBA All-Star Weekend’s slew of activities just days away, Williams said she found a seller offering two tickets for $500 each and no service fee. The seller told her she’d receive the tickets digitally after she paid. Williams said she sent $500 via Apple Pay, and the other $500 through Cash App.“I should have known better,” Williams said. “I should have figured out some way to make him prove he had the tickets or something. But I don’t know, I guess sometimes I’m just too trusting.
Officials are warning Utahns to exercise caution when considering secondary markets for tickets to NBA All-Star Weekend events. “If it sounds or looks too good to be true, then trust your instincts,” said Salt Lake police Sgt. Mark Wian. “There are unfortunately people out there who are willing to take sophisticated steps to try to take advantage of our community members.”
