Always keep in mind if a deal seems too good to be true it probably is. A guy selling $200 front row Taylor Swift concert tickets in front of the concert venue is probably a scam. Be smart and safe when buying tickets, passes, and vouchers from ticket scalpers. It is easy to be spotted as a visitor and become swindled out of your money.
A prime example of being swindled out of your money happens daily on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. People will walk around and hand you a New Orleans ball cap and say they are for visitors then charge you $10 for grabbing the hat. Various other ploys are out there, so pay attention to your surroundings.
