Dozens of people who thought they would be seeing Taylor Swift perform in Toronto this month have reportedly fallen victim to a ticket scam totalling over $70,000, say police in the Greater Toronto Area.
Halton Regional Police Service, covering Burlington, Oakville and Milton, Ont., say they’ve received about 40 complaints in recent days from people who bought Eras Tour tickets from a third party. Those tickets turned out to be non-existent, they said.
The financial crimes unit is investigating and no arrests have been made, police said in a news release Monday.
Swift’s string of six sold-out Toronto concerts run between Nov. 14 and 23. Her last three in the tour will be in Vancouver.
Melinda Tarantino, a Burlington mom, said she’s among the Toronto ticket scam victims, having spent over $3,000 for four tickets to see the show with her two daughters, 9 and 11 years old, this weekend.
