With die-hard football fans across the boroughs, the New York State Department of Consumer Protection wants New Yorkers to beware of ticket scams.

Super Bowl tickets aren't sold to the public. Tickets are distributed to the NFL, affiliates and verified platforms. The state said scammers see this as an opportunity to take advantage in the re-sale space.

The Department of Consumer Protection is offering tips to buy tickets the smart way.

Only purchase tickets through verified resellers. Buy through NFL partners like Ticketmaster and SeatGeek.

Beware of fake tickets. Never buy from fraudulent sellers on social media, specifically Facebook Marketplace and Instagram.

Watch out for low prices. Scammers typically lure in buyers with a good deal. Unusually, cheap tickets should raise a red flag.

Last-minute tickets make consumers an easy target. Always purchase your tickets with a credit card for added protection.
