The Saints and Pelicans have seen a significant increase in fans being turned away at the gates due to having counterfeit tickets or experiencing other ticket issues with secondary providers that result in fans being unable to enter games. So far, the Saints have seen an average of 100 fans per game turned away due to fraudulent tickets and other secondary ticket problems.
“We have seen a growing number of issues with tickets purchased on the street or online through secondary ticket sellers other than NFL Ticket Exchange,” said Michael Stanfield, senior vice president of sales for the Saints and Pelicans. “Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do for fans who have purchased counterfeit tickets or who have any problems, including lost or damaged tickets, with seats not purchased directly from the team or through NFL Ticket Exchange. Based on the demand we have for these games, we really want to urge fans to be careful and protect themselves from being disappointed or taken advantage of.”
While many of the fraudulent tickets sold may appear to be authentic, each legitimate ticket includes bar codes and other security features that cannot be duplicated. In order to protect their customers from theft or fraud, the Pelicans and Saints ticket offices are only able to assist those who purchase their tickets from the organizations directly or through NFL Ticket Exchange with any ticket problems they experience -including lost or stolen tickets.

If they really cared and weren't just after another buck, they would offer an easy way to check the validity of a ticket. One way to do that would be an APP to scan the barcode.

my dad had gotten fake tickets to a sugar bowl a fer years back.
But People parking their cars in the lots and walking to the game with extra tickets aren't all looking for a scam.
I do know it's easier now to fake them.
Hell you can post a picture of your ticket, I can then print out an old ticket from ticketmaster and photoshop in the right names and dates, then just enter in the barcodes.
Ge there early and you have someones ticket. Thats why I always tell people to take down their barcodes when I see tickets posted on facebook.
Another thing people do, is get a print out of a ticket and still have the original tickets, then sale the original tickets that no longer have functioning bar codes.
It is scarier now. But I was just saying that you still can get deals.
