Beware of Ticket Scams

From the Georgia Athletic Department:

Fans attending Saturday's Georgia-Auburn football game are warned about potential problems with counterfeit tickets being circulated.

At last week's Troy game, counterfeit tickets were printed and unsuspecting fans purchased them. These tickets were Ticketmaster replicates, but Georgia officials remind fans that Ticketmaster does not print Georgia football tickets.

Additionally, fans should not purchase any type of credential or pass for the Georgia-Auburn game. Media credentials are not for sale, and they do not guarantee the bearer a seat within Sanford Stadium or a spot on the sidelines.

Fans are reminded that in addition to not having Ticketmaster markings, legitimate tickets, credentials and passes also do not have the time listed on them as they were printed before the season began. Legitimate tickets have foil markings for authenticity.

Part of this problem may have been caused by the ticket printer. I purchased some extra tickets for Homecoming from the UGAA. In past years, these extra seats looked almost exactly like my season tickets.

This year it they looked exactly like "Ticketmaster" type tickets that I could have printed on my home computer.

If I was a ticket taker, I would have assumed these tickets were fakes because they looked so different from the regular tickets.
