Beware of Scalpers

Thursday, September 6, 2012 - 09:59

Please beware of scalper sites before you purchase tickets for any Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour dates. We've just been made aware of a site that is attempting to sell tickets for the Charlotte, NC show in November. As of today, tickets are NOT YET on sale for this show. That site will most likely attempt to overcharge you for tickets with no guarantee of being able to get those tickets to you. 

Click HERE for an example of a scalping site.

EricChurch.com and Ticketmaster are the only two official resources for information on Eric Church tickets.

What about charity tickets?

I saw a website selling tickets to most of the shows called ticketsforcharity.com Is this a legitimate site for charity or is the "charity donation" just a scam to charge more? If it is legit, than it seems like a great alternative for those people who were not able to get good tickets in time.

Tickets for Charity

Hi shircliff,

Yes, Tickets for Charity is a legitimate ticket reseller for the Blood, Sweat & Beers tour. Eric has partnered with them to raise money for a charity that he holds close to his heart, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. For more information, see the official announcement regarding Tix to Benefit JDRF.

Many of us agree that this is a great place for people to get tickets who were not able to get them right away as they are selling so quickly on this tour!

Yes, your tickets are real

Yes, your tickets are real and will get you into the show. Scalper website aren't selling "fake" tickets, they are just ripping good people off by selling them for much more than than face value. I am sorry to hear about your situation; I too have had to spend ALOT of money to get good seats to a show in the past. Next time, try to either get them on presale, or through a charity website.
