What is the "Counterfeit Museum Tickets and Pass Scams" scam in Santa Fe?

Question

Accepted Answer

Santa Fe's four Museum of New Mexico properties—including the New Mexico History Museum at 113 Lincoln Avenue and the Museum of Fine Arts at 107 W Palace Avenue—are sold as part of a multi-day pass. Scalpers and third-party sellers near the Plaza and on Old Santa Fe Trail offer these passes at a discount, but the passes are counterfeit, expired, or registered to a different visitor and will be rejected at entry. Purchase museum passes only at the museum admission desks directly or at the official Museum of New Mexico website. The passes are non-transferable and linked to the purchaser. Any third-party offering museum passes at a discount should be treated as fraudulent.
