See what information the seller will give you. They should be able to send you a copy of the transaction receipt to show that the order is legitimate. Does the email on the order match the email they’re communicating with you from?

Be extra cautious when purchasing tickets on Craigslist, Kijiji or any classifieds website. Historically, this is where most of the scams happen. Not sure where else to look? You can try the Ticket Trading Post on our website’s forums (you’ll need to sign up for an account if you don’t have one already), or the Shambhala Facebook page / event page.

We don’t offer advice on the exchange of tickets / money, except that, if at all possible MEET UP IN PERSON to do the exchange. We’ve heard stories of both ticket sellers and ticket buyers being scammed. Trust your intuition – if it doesn’t feel right, don’t do it.

If you’ve checked that your email address is correct and there’s no transaction record, please email us right away at sales@shambhalamusicfestival.com with your full name so we can look into what happened.
QI placed two orders by mistake! What should I do?
