  "account": "Celine Dion's grand concert comeback, after years away from touring, has sparked a surge in demand for tickets, making her an attractive target for fraudsters. The Paris venue, Plenitude Arena, is warning fans that hundreds of tickets may turn out to be fake, with the first show set for Saturday. To protect themselves from scams, fans are advised to purchase tickets only from authorized sites such as AXS France, Ticketmaster France, and Fnac Spectacles. They should also avoid buying tickets from individuals or social media advertisements due to the lack of assurance regarding the ticket's legitimacy. Fans should also be cautious of fraudulent websites that mimic official ticketing platforms and Dion's official sites. The arena's marketing director warns that the period immediately after ticket sales and during the build-up are the most vulnerable times for scams. Fans are encouraged to verify the URL of any website they use for ticket purchases to ensure they are using an authorized vendor. The Plenitude Arena's website will have clickable links to authorized ticket sellers, and the venue is prepared to assist fraud victims.",
  "summary": "PARIS (AP) — Based on their experience of hosting Taylor Swift, the management team at the Paris venue for Celine Dion 's grand concert comeback is bracing to deliver devastating news to hundreds of her fans: ‘Sorry, you appear to have been scammed, your tickets are fake.’",
