I bought 3 tickets in section 417 from a random guy yesterday & couldn't get in because when the guy scanned the ticket he said it was a re-printed ticket.Anybody else had this problem or heard of something like this yesterday?

no, as long as the bar code is legit then you can get in.

The person should have scanned it and let you in.

Did these tickets look like real tickets or a ticket received in the email?

Someone had obviously already used the tickets. They simply printed their ticket twice. But once scanned it will not scan again.

Honest mistake I guess.

BTW, I have ocean front property in Arizona if you're interested...

OHhhhh, yeah. That dude sold you reprinted tickets and they were legit...till he took his tickets and went into the game before you did. When they scanned your tickets the bar codes had already been voided.

I'd hurt that bastard.

yes they did have a barcode, it was a real ticket, not a piece of paper

he had about 5 or 6 more tickets with him, he was not worried about the game if you know what i mean. so i highly doubted they were going to the game,

I'm guessing he had 6 tickets in hand and a sign that said "need tickets" in the other?

Scalpers have become bolder around TS and it appears that no one gives a shite. Where was this guy standing?

He wasn't bout 5'7 with dred's and keep sayin' "I'm workin for you"? Used this guy for years, always came around the tailgate till he sold my friend bogus tics last year for the bama game. My friend still wants to find that cat.

I would look up the person whose name is on the the ticket you have. I would think you could get the ticket office involved in this. Probably not get your money back, but get the dude who scammed you banned from LSU Sports, rightly so.

yes he was a scalper, no sign. He was with 2 of his buddies & had about 6 more tickets.

AN obvious scalper (with friends!) right by Tiger Stadium going harassment free by the cops?

It's getting pretty bad. If LSU is going to start charging an arm and a leg for tickets then they need to police their campus a little better IMO.

Anyway, sorry bout that dude. just realize that there is no way a trashy looking dude is going to have $300 worth of tickets.

If you want to go the tulane game, I can sell you 4 legit tickets in 412. Then you can go to 417 and see if that guy is there. If so, kick his azz. Get kicked out and when lsu wants to take my account away, we can tell them this azz clown screwed you and lsu will ban him, not me. I have no problems helping you screw and worry these no talent, lazy, scumbags. That's my rant.

I usually sell 2 tickets to games because my grandfather can't go and I usually block these scalpers selling tickets. They usually have a printed seating chart of tiger stadium. I hate those guys. Telling people my tickets are fake. I have had them since 58, idiot so go frick yourself.
