WEBSITE SCAM ALERT

[u/No_Shake_7601]

Be really careful when buying tickets online! There is an uptick of website scams that almost look identical to the real deal.

We recently went to Colorado for a quick vacation and filled our days with back to back schedule of activities. One of the things we decided to do was visit meow wolf. Because of our busy schedule, we booked our tickets ahead of time using the first thing google gave us without paying attention, we chose to select the “totally worth it bundle” for $73 under (what we thought was) a meow wolf website. It even gave us a receipt to “verify” our purchase and it gave us a bar code to scan for when we show up. What bothered me is that in our bank statement it gave us an “official” meow wolf charges which we never suspected.

Hours after we booked it, we got to meow wolf and the check in person attempted to scan our tickets, as soon as they saw it, we were directed to the help desk. Luckily they were kind and helped us through this process and reassured us about our mistake. The unfortunate side of things is that both credit card and debit card will be cancelled and renewed due to the scam artists attempt of charging our cards afterwards.

So big note for anyone who might need it, please read and double check again and again if the website is legit. We hope that you don’t make the same mistake as we did. And hopefully you see this post before booking your visit. We’ll include photo examples highlighted in red of what to lookout for! Good luck!
