Scamilton: How to Avoid Fake Hamilton Tickets

Earlier this year a fake Facebook page and event made the rounds advertising Hamilton tickets on sale. This is just one of the many attempts by third party scalpers to get your hard-earned cash. 

Tickets will not be on sale for Hamilton until 2019. Despite this, many websites will claim you can purchase tickets or placeholder tickets now; the end result is usually fake tickets and a long walk back to the car.  

Follow these tips to avoid getting scalped: 

• Check your url. Proctors.org is the only official website to buy tickets to a Proctors show — not proctors.com, not cheaptickets.proctors.com or anywhere else. Go to proctors.org and follow links from that page or any of our social channels for official tickets. 
• Don’t google for tickets. Scalpers pay for ad space that makes them show up higher on searches. Go directly to the source, proctors.org 

• If the price of a ticket seems too high, you’re probably getting scammed. Many Broadway shows have tickets starting at just $20. If the lowest prices you’re seeing are $200 or more, make sure you’re on the right site, proctors.org. 
• Call us. If you’re ever worried you’re getting scammed or just want to double check for your own piece of mind, get in touch. We’re here to help. Call our box office at (518) 346-6204, or stop in and talk to us in person.
