Bought concert ticket on Instagram, now unsure

A reddit report about a phishing scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

I bought this ticket off of someone who posted a comment on Instagram about selling this concert ticket. After conversing and briefly seeing their ticket confirmation from when they allegedly bought it, I paid. The only reason why I'm sketched out is because they allegedly bought this ticket off of Ticketweb (which is affiliated with Ticketmaster), but the company logo or contact information isn't anywhere on the email they sent me. They also changed their name to my name on the ticket, which I didn't know was possible. I personally have never bought off Ticketweb (only Ticketmaster), so I have no clue whether these are legit or not.
