SCAM WARNING!!!

FAKE TICKETS being sold to the Edmonton BeerFest are an issue.   We are doing our best to work with the community, ticket sellers and local authorities to prevent this, however they still exist 

Typical Scams for the event are as follows:

  • BAIT AND SWITCH
    • eg.  The Ticket states Edmonton BeerFest or some variation – purchaser receive tickets to consumer trade shows (Free Events) as far away as Calgary, Jasper, Banff, or  bar/pub promotions.  
    • Scammers use “Partner” and “Charities”  – to advertise for them Advertisement states “Free admission to Edmonton BeerFest” with the purchase of a ticket to a different or “associated” event and in some cases even with a charity donation.   

There is typically a no refund policy on these tickets so once a purchase happens the attendee is unable to ret a refund.   

Edmonton BeerFest Tickets are only sold through Eventbrite and our website for April 18-19 @The Edmonton Convention Centre

If you have purchased a Fake ticket:

  • Please let us know so we can keep the appropriate people informed:
  • Email a picture of your ticket to info@EdmontonBeerFest.com 
  • Contact the seller of the ticket and let them know you were scammed and want a refund.   
    • There are cases where the seller doesn’t realize they are apart this
