An Ontario woman paid seven times more for her theatre tickets than she thought she did. 'I was shocked. I had no idea the tickets were going to cost that much.'
An Ontario woman was "shocked" to learn she paid seven times more for her theatre tickets than she thought she did.
"I had no idea the tickets were going to cost that much," said Catherine Quinn, of Dundas, Ont.
Quinn enjoys theatre and wanted to see a production of "Something Rotten" at the Stratford Festival, so she searched on Google for tickets.
"I believed I was on the Stratford Festival website, I ordered tickets and I gave them my credit card," said Quinn.
Quinn thought she had paid $39 for two tickets, but when she got her credit card statement, she saw she was charged $283.
Quinn had purchased the tickets through a website called Go Tickets, a ticket reseller. While she did receive the tickets in time for the show, she said she had no idea about the additional exorbitant charges.
"You have to be vigilant, you have to make sure you are on the proper website. It's very easy to get on to third-party websites and not realize it," said Quinn.
