Watch Out for NFL Playoff Ticket Fraud

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Association of Ticket Brokers (NATB) provides football fans across America with all-important protections as they look for seats to NFL playoff games leading up to Super Bowl 50 on February 7, 2016 in Santa Clara CA. Tickets will be available on the secondary market for people eager to support their teams at home or away, and the NATB stresses the importance of buying only from legitimate sellers.

Groups such as the National Consumers League, Angie's List and Better Business Bureau chapters across the nation recommend doing business with NATB-member brokers only, as they are guided by a Code of Ethics and a 200% money-back guarantee. They can be found here:  http://www.natb.org/MemberList
