Whether you are ordering theater tickets or sports tickets online or sports tickets, before you choose an online ticket broker, you should make sure you pick a reputable company that will guard your personal information in this day and age of identity theft and credit card fraud.

First off, it's a good idea to choose a ticket broker that is affiliated with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Online Reliability Program to increase your chances of doing business with a reputable company. It's also great if they are members of the National Association of Ticket Brokers (NATB), which uphold high standards in the ticket broker industry.

Second, read what encryption technology and other safety measures an online ticket broker is using. For example, some companies have the BBB seal on its website and uses encryption and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to protect your sensitive information. SSL is the standard technology used on e-commerce sites today. You can also look for companies that use Hacker Safe's Scan Alert , yet another security feature.

Look for such security features to ease your mind when doing business with online ticket brokers.
