Apparently Ticketmaster have been hacked. No details from them yet (it's all over the news though). Isn't Notts ticket site run by Ticketmaster? And I would imagine loads of us have got tickets for other things through Ticketmaster.
Just be aware folks....

I've entered a fake email address, says I've been Pwned whatever that is
https://www.eticketing.co.uk/nottscountyfc/ "Powered by Ticketmaster"
What is disconcerting is that there is no reassuring, or indeed any, messages coming out from the affected organisations. I rang my credit card company this afternoon and the chap I spoke to was not aware of the hack. He said if I had any concerns that they could change my card. I had used the card for the purchase of tickets and coach the Notts site. Not sure if the Football Assoc still use Ticketmaster.
I expressed concern that the hierarchy had not informed their staff nor their customers. Ticketmaster have nothing on their website.
I've got a couple of utility bills to pay and then I think I'll get new cards. No longer trust "the powers that be" to put customers' interests first despite "Your security is important to us".
There's some information here which 'may' be helpful...

If they have not encrypted or hashed the credit card numbers, I'd be VERY surprised. That will come with massive fines that will more than likely end Ticketmaster. It is more likely they have your name and address (that's on the electoral roll anyway) and part of your credit card number. They won't be stealing your card, but you're more at risk of scammers attempting something in the future, but with a data set of half a billion ( or around 8% of the entire world population) I think you'll be fine
