Iowa soccer lovers need to look before leaping into buying World Cup tix

(Radio Iowa) – With World Cup soccer underway in Kansas City, Iowans who hope to head south and see a game are being warned about multiple scams. Khesha Duncan, with the Better Business Bureau, says there are a couple of areas where soccer fans should be especially careful.

Even parking spaces outside Arrowhead Stadium are being subjected to scams, and Duncan urges people to only park in clearly marked areas. As with anything you buy over the internet, she says to make sure you’re on an official website.

Some Iowans may choose to make the drive to Kansas City in hopes of buying tickets outside the stadium. If you do so, Duncan says to look at those tickets closely before you hand over the cash.

The first World Cup game was played in Kansas City on Tuesday night, with five more games scheduled — this Saturday, and on June 25th, June 27th, July 3rd and July 11th.
