COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) – The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office (EPSO) has a warrant out for the arrest of Talia Yadgar, the owner of Ticket Secrets LLC.
Ticket Secrets LLC is a ticket broker that helps get people better tickets for a cheaper price and gives customers the tickets on the day of the event. Many people who used Ticket Secrets for the Morgan Wallen concert in Denver were left at the gates with no tickets and no response from Yadgar.
Issues seemed to have started when Yadgar made this post in her Facebook group Ticket Secrets:
I had a huge family emergency that happened an hour ago and I haven’t been able to get my phone. I am not near my computer.
I am deeply sorry for what has happened and I understand how upset and frustrated people are with me and this situation.
I WILL BE REFUNDING EVERYONE THAT HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS!!
Ticket Secrets Facebook Account
Then one week later, Yadgar announced she had retained legal counsel and would no longer be responding to any messages leaving customers like Shawn Wickham out thousands of dollars.
Wickham said he’s made dozens of transactions with Ticket Secrets LLC over the past 2-3 years. Until recently he’s never had an issue. “I reached out to her and tried to order some additional NFL tickets for later this season, and that’s when I started receiving ghosted messages and couldn’t receive any type of communication,” Wickham told KRDO13 Investigates.
KRDO13 Investigates reached out to Yadgar’s attorney Richard Gross and have not heard back. Yadgar no longer lives at the address she listed with the state for Ticket Secrets LLC. The current residents said the Yadgars moved out a year ago. Former neighbors said the Yadgar family was nice and fit in with the quiet neighborhood.
“While I’m disappointed about the amount of money that has been outweighed as of right now, the bigger disappointment I have right now is that the tickets for the events will never show up,” Wickham added he’s already purchased airplane tickets and hotel rooms for events out of state that he no longer is getting tickets for.

DENVER (KDVR) — Driving across Interstate 70 or to southern Colorado can take hours, but luckily there’s plenty to see along the way.
Whether you’re looking to stretch your legs during a long drive or see some of Colorado’s quirkiest attractions, these are some fan-favorite places to stop while on the road.
Colorado’s favorite roadside attractions
FOX31 turned to viewers and asked on Facebook, “What are your favorite roadside attractions?” Here are some responses.
Kit Carson County Carousel
Just off I-70 in Burlington lies the Kit Carson County Carousel, the only antique carousel in America that still has the original paint on the scenery panels and animals, according to the website. The wooden carousel was carved between 1885 and the 1930s, and it’s still operational.
Sasquatch Outpost

The Sasquatch Outpost in Bailey is a museum just off U.S. 285 that one FOX31 viewer called “cute and quirky.” It’s a spot that’s “dedicated to solving the mystery,” according to the website. The shop shares Sasquatch sightings and research for newbies to seasoned “Squatchers.”
Bishop Castle

The structure that lies along Greenhorn Highway started with an empty plot of land and a 15-year-old with a vision. Sixty years later, Jim Bishop crafted a castle all by himself. According to the family, Bishop handled each stone in the castle around six times before putting it in its final place.
UFO Watchtower

If you’re heading to the Great Sand Dunes National Park, you’ll likely pass by the UFO Watchtower where many have reported sightings of strange objects in the sky. If you have time, leave a personal item at the watchtower and look up at the sky.
Tiny Town Railroad

Tiny Town Railroad is an over-100-year-old kid-sized village in Morrison that was originally built to entertain Denver-Leadville stage coach station George Turner’s daughter, according to the website. The town is just off U.S. 285 where you’ll find a jail, gas station, church, railroad and homes all shrunken down to fit a kid.
Glenwood Springs

One viewer mentioned on Facebook that they liked to stop by the hot springs in Glenwood Springs while driving along I-70. There are many hot springs in Glenwood Springs, including two that are among the best in the country, according to USA Today.
This is one of many stops viewers liked along I-70 heading to and from the mountains. One viewer mentioned the “Sleeper House” which is a spaceship-looking historical landmark that can be seen from the highway in Golden.
Meanwhile, others mentioned that any nature in Colorado was an attraction worth pulling over, like buffaloes near I-70 or the top of Fremont Pass looking at Sheep Mountain.
