Ticket companies are getting hit hard lately with attempts to buy NFL playoff tickets using stolen credit card information. Almost all of the fraudulently  placed orders for 49ers tickets ask that the tickets be emailed to a similar email address as the cardholders name. When and if the credit card is run through everything matches including the name, address and 3 digit code on the back of the card, even when the cardholder still has the card in their possession.

News reports keep coming out about large company databases being hacked into and credit card information stolen almost daily so consumers have to be vigilant in checking their credit reports and requesting that companies not save their credit card information if they want and extra measure of protection.

The biggest problem with credit card fraud is for the merchants though. There are protections for consumers in cases of credit card fraud but not for the merchants. Currently the banks and credit card companies do not have a policy in place to allow merchants to verify telephone numbers or email addresses of purchasers and they are the ones left holding the bag when credit card fraud occurs. And after a recent discussion with both BofA and Visa,  Preferred Seating has found out they have no intention of doing the right thing anytime soon.

The San Francisco 49ers tickets for this Sunday’s NFC Championship game against the New York Giants at Candlestick Park go on sale tomorrow to the general public but fans shouldn’t expect much from the sale since most of the 49er tickets will already have been sold to season ticket holders, group sales and everyone the 49ers organization wants to impress that is investing in the new stadium in Santa Clara. So far ticket sales for the 49ers vs Giants game are moving along well but not crazy considering the importance of the game.

One thing San Francisco 49ers fans should consider is the ticket prices for this 49ers NFC Championship game are going to be considered real cheap compared to the prices fans will pay in just a few short years at the new 49ers stadium. 49er season ticket holders have been finding out part of the cost of season tickets with many of the best seats coming with a $30,000 + builders seat license that will add $100 per ticket to the face value over the next 30 years. And they haven’t even told them the ticket price yet.
