How to avoid ticket trouble
- Buy only from official partners. Resale tickets on social media are a common scam.
- Never pay by UPI to a stranger for "confirmed" tickets.
- Check entry rules on bags, IDs and age limits before you go.
- Plan transport: large outdoor venues can mean long queues and limited parking.
