If you want to score tickets to the Big Game Sunday, beware.

The Better Business Bureau is warning consumers to be on the lookout for scammers.

Their website has the following tips for safe ticket purchases:

Check out the seller/broker. Look them up on bbb.org to see what others have experienced. Check to see if they are a member of the National Association of Ticket Brokers (natb.org). NATB members offer a 200% guarantee on tickets that don’t arrive in time for a game, concert or show.

Know the difference between a ticket broker (a legitimate and accredited reseller) and a ticket scalper (an unregulated and unlicensed ticket seller).

Check the ticket broker’s refund policy. Only buy from a ticket reseller that provides clear details about the terms of the transaction.

Always use a credit card so you have some recourse if the tickets are not as promised; do not use cash.

For more tips, go to the Better Business Bureau website at bbb.org.

Meanwhile, according to yahoo.com, since tickets are really hard to come by even legitimately, you can expect to pay $8,500 even for the cheap seats.

On Wednesday night an already tight ticket market virtually vanished. The two biggest brokers of seats for Sunday's Super Bowl – StubHub.com and PrimeSport.com – went from a combined offering of 1,400 tickets Wednesday night to around 150 on Thursday morning. And that has sent prices for even the worst seats rocketing higher. The "get-in" nosebleed seats are now starting at $8,500 on StubHub.com, with field-level end-zone seats listed for as much as $21,533.25 each.

Personally, I'll be home watching the Kitten and Puppy Bowls for free. :-D
