Are 'presale code' sellers for this summer's stadium tours a scam?

Yes, almost always. As each new tour leg goes on sale, sellers flood social media and Craigslist-style listings offering “guaranteed” presale codes or already-purchased tickets for popular stadium shows — codes can't be resold since they're tied to the original account, and “tickets” paid for by Zelle, Venmo, or cash app rarely transfer into your name and simply don't exist at the door. Buy only through the venue, the artist's official presale, or a resale platform that transfers the ticket into your own account before you pay in full.
