Litchfield woman says she was scammed out of $900 from ticket website
LITCHFIELD, Conn. (WTNH) — A Litchfield woman is warning News 8 viewers of a scam from a ticket sale website.
The woman, who did not want to be identified, said that she bought two tickets from ticketsales.com for a show at the Shubert Theatre back in October. She ended up being charged for $900 in total, but when she received the tickets in her email, the face value was $50 each.

'I mean it was not $100 dollars more,' she said. 'They were charging me $450, so it was a $400 difference and that is a lot of money for anybody.'
Her credit card company denied her claim for reimbursement because she agreed to the terms and conditions on the party's website.
'I went asked for managers,' she said. 'I have gone through the whole process with my Discovery card and ticket sales.com and got absolutely nowhere.'
Anthony with the Shubert Theatre said that this is an ongoing problem, and that the main way to fix it is if local legislators make it illegal.

Sydney Sweeney Reacts to Her Used Bathwater Going Viral
Originally appeared on E! Online Sydney Sweeney is soaping up the attention. The Anyone But You star recently made waves—literally—when she announced a partnership with Dr. Squatch for a limited-edition line of bar soaps that include an unusual, key ingredient: her actual bathwater. And in the time since, the collab has made quite the splash online. 'I think it's more fun to see everyone else talk about it,' Sydney admitted to E! News at the premiere of her new film Echo Valley on June 4, adding on how the product came to be, 'I pitched it.' (For more with Sydney, tune into E! News tonight, June 5 at 11 p.m.) After all, as Sydney pointed out in her announcement post, when she first partnered with Dr. Squatch back in December—in a commercial she filmed from a bathtub—fans couldn't get enough. 'You kept asking about my bathwater after the @drsquatch ad…' she captioned her May 30 post. 'So we kept it.' The end result? A teal-colored bar of soap called Sydney's Bathwater Bliss (available June 6). More from E!

One such endeavor has been her new Apple TV+ film Echo Valley, where the Euphoria star plays daughter to as the two battle to keep a dark secret hidden. It was a project she said gave her 'so many reasons' to say yes. 'The character, Claire, is such a multi-layered, troubled young woman,' she explained. 'And being able to explore a character that has so many dimensional relationships with their mother, it's fun.' And working opposite such a powerhouse like Julianne, which Sydney described as 'such a dream,' was an added perk. 'She is beyond kind,' the Euphoria actress gushed. 'Like one of the kindest human beings I've ever met.' Echo Valley premieres on Apple TV+ June 13.
