MBTA officials are warning Boston Celtics fans to be cautious about ticket scams in which secondary sellers ask buyers to meet at busy T stations.
Transit Police issued a public advisory Monday, noting that they have received reports in the past from victims who have agreed to meet with sellers at various MBTA stations. After conducting the sale, the seller quickly disappears into the crowd of people waiting for the T before the buyer has time to realize that the tickets are counterfeit.
With the Celtics and the Heat tipping off in the Eastern Conference Finals in Miami on Tuesday night — and the series scheduled to hit Boston Saturday — officials remind fans to be wary of buying tickets from secondary sources and through advertisements on social media.
