Victims of Super Bowl ticket scam encouraged to file a complaint with the Attorney General’s Office

Dealing with a heartbreaking Super Bowl loss is bad enough. But some fans may have had insult added to injury when they tried to buy tickets from brokers, only to find out the brokers did not even have the tickets they purported to sell.

OLYMPIA — Dealing with a heartbreaking Super Bowl loss is bad enough.

But some fans may have had insult added to injury when they tried to buy tickets from brokers, only to find out the brokers did not even have the tickets they purported to sell.

Not only were these fans unable to attend the game, but they were also out hundreds — if not thousands — of dollars for the cost of airfare and accommodations.

Attorney General Bob Ferguson is asking Seahawks fans to contact the Attorney General’s Office and file a complaint if they believe they are the victim of such a scam.

The office will review all complaints to determine whether individual brokers’ actions violated Washington State’s Consumer Protection Act.

To file a consumer complaint, visit www.atg.wa.gov and click the “Consumer Complaint” button, or call 1-800-551-4636 between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.
