Tickets?

If you’re interested in an event for which tickets are required there are plenty of online and brick-and-mortar companies that can reliably sell them to you. Most of the companies are legitimate. Some may not be. You can read more at Consumerist.

It’s important to understand the terms of your agreement with the credit card company. Most of the time vendors may not charge you until merchandise ships. Most of the time merchants may not add extra fees to your purchase for using your card.

I don’t usually write about specific businesses. In fact I haven’t this time. But I think Consumerist produces some great stuff and provides good advice. If you deal with a business that charges usurious rates for cancellations, charges you without shipping, and otherwise violates the charge card contract of the law- steer clear. Read the fine print and be informed.
