Bad Bunny Fans Beware: Fake Tickets Are Ruining the Party

If you’re flying to Puerto Rico to see Bad Bunny’s epic 30-show residency No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí, double-check those tickets. New York Attorney General Letitia James is warning fans after reports that scammers are selling fakes — and some New Yorkers found out the hard way when they were denied entry at San Juan’s Coliseo despite paying thousands for the trip.

The residency, tied to Benito’s album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, is totally sold out, with about 18,000 fans packing the arena each night until September 14. But scammers are taking advantage of the hype, using Facebook, X, and shady resale pages to push bogus tickets or “too good to be true” deals.

Concert ticket scams aren’t just a Bad Bunny problem — they’ve been spiking as ticket prices hit record highs. The average show cost $135.92 in 2024 (more than 5x what it was in 1996), and mega-tours like Taylor Swift’s Eras have hit four-digit resale prices. That frenzy has even sparked lawsuits against Ticketmaster and Live Nation for fueling inflated resale markets.

James’ advice for avoiding scams:

  • Buy only from verified or official sellers.

  • Use reputable resale platforms with refund guarantees.

  • Never pay with cash or wire transfer — stick to credit cards or PayPal for chargeback protection.

  • Avoid “too good to be true” deals and high-pressure sales.

  • Be careful with printed-at-home tickets — scammers can sell the same barcode multiple times.

If you think you’ve been scammed, call 1-800-771-7755 or file a complaint online with the NY Attorney General’s office.

Bottom line? If you’re going to see El Conejo Malo live, make sure your golden ticket is actually gold.
