As an afterthought to revive this scalping thread, one of my students had an encounter with counterfeit tickets this past weekend for the Auburn-Georgia game. He and his wife bought two seats in the upper deck on the 40-yard line for $300 right outside the stadium (face value $80/pair). When they arrived at their row, their seat numbers did not exist and the guy at the end told them they were the fourth couple looking for those non-existent seats. When comparing the tickets, they noticed they were perfect reproductions except for the eagle hologram (which was missing).
My wife and I are planning to drive to Atlanta for the SEC Championship game and find tickets outside the dome, but now I'm worried about counterfeits. I don't go to the Georgia Dome often enough to recognize a counterfeit when I see one, so I need a strategy.
What are some good suggestions for being sure we're not buying counterfeits?
