This has nothing to do with Taylor Swift

FWIW, I lived in Lviv and spent a lot of time in Krakow. Both are lovely cities.

What? Why on earth would Russian trolls attack OP?

Had a lovely week long visit to Krakow in June. 5 star hotels are even pretty cheap (less than $100/night), so no reason to stay in an AirBnB. Used Uber (and a European equivalent…Bolt maybe is the name?), so no worries about unscrupulous cabbies.

I do think the scammers may have been out in force because of a Taylor Swift concert and the massive crowds.

Why is it that every summer a paunchy balding middle aged guy claiming to be from DC ends up in a newspaper abroad for all the wrong reasons?

Why are these people making us all look like rubes? There was that idiot in NZ last summer, there’s is the boastful “I spent 18,000 pounds on the Swift tickets in Poland” and they didn’t roll out the red carpet cargo-cult dad this summer?

Please stop people. Be turdy in private.

To be fair, there were many Americans in Warsaw who flew in for TS concert.

Imagine buying concert tickets, plane tickets, paying for hotel, etc. and not being able to get into the concert.

This is the obvious answer. Opportunists gonna opportune. And yes, many of them were Polish scumbags but I'm sure a fair amount were just general scumbags. we've all got them. Sorry OP!

If you went to Poland to see Taylor Swift, the Poles deserve your money.

Caveat Emptor. Everyone has heard stories about fake tickets - it’s not like it’s a new problem.

And yet educated, trim, handsome Poles make a living scamming uneducated, fat Americans. That’s pretty sad.

Anyway, that poor f**k is not only not going to get paid for the tickets he sold, but also pay for the replacement tickets Stubhub had to buy.
