The Jay Z and Eminem concert tonight in New York at the Meadowlands is very popular with fans but the concert is also atracting a large number of attempted credit card fraud orders. Preferred Seating tickets has had an unusual number of attempted fraud orders the last day and a half and all the requests have been for the electronic tickets.

In most cases the telephone numbers of those attempting the credit card fraud don’t match with the city or state the card holder is residing in. The credit card thieves don’t even bother to list an active phone number in some cases or when contacted they sometimes forget the card holders name they are stealing from.

Even though Preferred Seating tickets are located in California, they’ve been around for 23 years and they sell a lot of tickets on the web so often they are targeted often by credit card thieves. But what the thieves don’t know is Preferred Seating takes great pride in combating credit card fraud and often require extensive proof for last minute orders and electronic ticket orders.

But you can expect a few credit card holders to be opening up their bills in the next 30 days and finding they were charged for a Jay Z and Eminem concert they didn’t attend. And several ticket brokers will be issuing chargebacks for not being careful enough.
