‘Scam alert’: Fake tickets being sold for Buffalo Bros FIFA Watch Party event
If you bought tickets through Eventbrite for a FIFA Watch Party at Buffalo Bros. in Fort Worth, the owner wants to let you know it’s a scam.
“We have been open since 2007 and have never charged for admission and we never will,” owner Jon Bonnell told the Star-Telegram Wednesday, June 3.
A previous listing on Eventbrite that was shared across various news platforms (including on the Star-Telegram’s website) and on social media channels was charging customers $12.50 per ticket, but Bonnell says it’s not true. Buffalo Bros posted a “scam alert” on Wednesday morning telling their customers not to trust the online ticket sales.
Bonnell says he doesn’t know where that money went.
What isn’t a scam is that Buffalo Bros will be playing every World Cup match (The Sundance Square location at 415 Throckmorton St. has 93 TVs) with no tickets or cover charge required. And all locations will continue offering their daily specials during the tournament.
