I’ve always been kinda freaked out about privacy stuff, and I wondered about this once when I bought Halsey tickets for a concert on May 29. So, from what I know, when you buy tickets online, the company (like Ticketmaster) does gather your info, but the government doesn’t just automatically get access to all your ticket data.

They do say in their cookie policy that third parties might use your data for things like ads, but for the government to see your info, there usually has to be a legal reason, like if there’s an investigation or a court order. So unless you’re, like, doing something sketchy, the government isn’t just watching who goes to what concert.

But I totally get why people wonder, especially cause there’s so much talk about privacy lately. If you’re worried, you can usually set your cookie preferences on these sites and opt out of some tracking, but honestly, if the police or feds really want your info, they’ll go through the proper legal channels. It’s not like they’re spying on every Post Malone fan just cause it’s May 29. But yeah, always check what info you’re clicking ‘yes’ to when you buy stuff online! Stay safe and have fun at the show!
