As Taylor Swift is set to perform her final three sold-out shows at the Rogers Centre this week, many people who have fallen victim to an alleged ticket scam are trying to find answers to what happened.
Victims who spoke to CTV News Toronto identified a Burlington woman as the person from whom they bought tickets but failed to deliver them.
They claimed 43-year-old Denise Tisor, who reportedly uses the name Denise Blackhawk on Facebook, accepted nearly $300,000 for over 400 tickets.
Several victims said they felt confident that Tisor would get them tickets because they knew her, and many had purchased tickets from her in the past.
Allison from Durham Region told CTV News Toronto she felt in some way connected with Tisor after buying tickets last summer. They would exchange occasional text messages, and Tisor even helped Allison use a website to print the tickets to give to her three young daughters on Christmas morning as a surprise.
In a video taken that morning and shared with CTV News, the girls burst into song after receiving the tickets.
It wasn’t until last week that they learned the tickets weren’t real.
