Online tickets - how to avoid a scam

Hello,
I'd like to buy a few tickets for the Taylor Swift tour, they're available from private sellers online but as I've never bought something like that before how can I avoid being scammed.
Normally, these tickets are digital ones and sent by email. Can someone resell them or only the original buyer can go to the event?
How would I know if they're genuine tickets or not? Can the seller email me the tickets but once I pay cancel them for whatever reason?
Thank you

To avoid being scammed, you need to buy from the official source.
If you buy from a reseller there's nothing stopping them going too,/selling the tickets repeatedly and you finding the tickets don't work or your ID doesn't match denying you entry at the event.1
