Buyer Beware!

If you buy a ticket from anywhere other than Ticketmaster, you have no way of knowing whether the ticket you purchased is counterfeit, invalid or an actual seat in Canada Life Centre. There is no easy way to spot a fake ticket, making where you buy your ticket important.

To avoid ticket fraud please keep the following important points in mind.

• Avoid buying tickets from unofficial websites. Many of these websites use names that are similar sounding in order to confuse and lead buyers away from verified listings.
• The top Google search result for Canada Life Centre event tickets may not be a legitimate seller. It is recommended that you go directly to Ticketmaster or the box office to purchase tickets.
• Canada Life Centre events do not allow print-at-home paper tickets. Do not buy printed paper tickets from anyone on the street or outside the venue.
• Do not accept screenshots of tickets. Multiple copies of these pictures may be sent out, or they may be invalid.

Be safe with all of your online ticket purchases. Make sure you are visiting Ticketmaster to ensure you are purchasing official Canada Life Centre event tickets.
