Advice to consumers to avoid being bilked on Packers tickets (AP)5/2/2005 Wisconsin consumer protection officials have some advice for people wanting to buy Green Bay Packers tickets:_Don't be misled by illegal use of the Green Bay Packers logo and Lambeau Field names, which are trademarks of the Packers. _Before paying any money or giving a credit card number, determine if the seller actually has tickets. Ask to have a copy of the tickets faxed to you. _Don't give a credit card number on the phone unless you know something about the person you are dealing with. _Try to deal only with "official" sources for tickets and tours - those endorsed by the team. _Deal only with ticket agencies that are members of the National Association of Ticket Brokers, whose members are carefully screened. _Don't get on the plane without having official game tickets. _Verify the travel agent you are dealing with is a member of a trade association, such as the American Society of Travel Agents. For more information, call the hot line of the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection at 1-800-422-7128.
