QR code is a barcode, which can be scanned using most mobile phones
Events such as concerts and games were bought only at the box office. Many people even liked to keep the tickets as souvenirs.
Currently, online sales have changed this scenario and many tickets are generated directly on mobile screens, with so-called QR codes. But even this technology hasn’t been able to solve an old problem: counterfeit tickets.
Acting as money changers on the Internet, criminals use fake profiles on the networks and advertise the sale of tickets to a high-demand event that are usually already sold out. However, since the QR Code can be copied with a simple screen print, the same item is sold to more people. Another common practice is to change the QR Code, and the buyer only discovers it when he goes to scan it at the turnstile and, of course, cannot enter. In order not to fall for it, we advise you to buy only on the official websites of the event.
