Fans Warned of Fake Tickets
Counterfeits showed up at the Texas-Texas Tech game

Nov. 20, 2008

NORMAN, Okla. - Norman law enforcement agencies are cautioning college football fans to be especially wary of tickets offered for sale by unauthorized outlets after a recent flurry of counterfeit ticket activity in Texas.

More than 500 people were reportedly scammed by suspects selling apparently bona fide tickets to the recent Texas Tech vs. Texas game. Those tickets proved to be counterfeit when scanners at admission gates failed to recognize them as valid passes.

The counterfeit tickets reportedly were distinguishable from genuine tickets only when compared side by side, which revealed slightly blurred lines and faded looking coloration on the fakes. Those victimized in Texas reported paying anywhere from $250 to $350 per ticket.

Authorities recommend buying tickets only from established commercial outlets, or from resellers with whom the buyer is familiar.

And what was that supposed to mean? It wasn't TTU that made the tickets!

I always hate this line of bull**** that "authorities" use as advice for allegedly preventing crime rather than getting off their *** and solving something.

Sure, buy a ticket from a private individual, and there is a remote chance you may be getting ripped off.

Buy from a commercial outlet and there is a 100% chance you are getting ripped off!

Today it was announced that the University of Oklahoma sold 85,000 counterfeit tickets...and 34,000 fake Sooner Club memberships. This doubles income from that sector. When pressed to explain why the University athletic department did this, athletic director Joe Castigliano explained that, "the University of Oklahoma sold 85,000 counterfeit tickets, but sorry, we don't give refunds."

So, buy a ticket with counterfeit money. That'll solve the problem.
