1. Make sure the site or seller youre buying from is reputable. Check for a registered office in the UK, and a UK-based customer support telephone number. If in doubt, call up and speak to a member of the customer services team.

2. Look to see how many fans are selling their tickets through the exchange. The more fans selling, the wider the choice of tickets available for you to purchase.

3. Check your customer protection guarantees. Any good ticket exchange wants to protect its fans so ensure that customer guarantees are in place to ensure you receive your tickets or if an event is cancelled, you receive a full refund.

4. Avoid buying tickets outside the grounds. Although it may be tempting to try and pick up a deal at the last-minute, you will have no transparency about the tickets youre buying and no protection guarantees.

5. Pay by credit card if you can as most major credit card companies have card protection policies. Always keep a record of your ticket purchase and print out a copy of your transaction and a copy of any acknowledgement of receipt.
