re: Got scammed by someone trolling this board...be careful

The main thing that always concerns me when buying tickets is that even if they are legit, the seller (providing they are the actual season ticket holder) can have new tickets reprinted by LSU at any time, up until the day of the game in fact!

I always ask for the account number and call the ticket office. They can't tell you much, but I simply ask if the account is 1) legitimate, 2) is in good standing, & 3) doesn't have any reported stolen tickets. They answer those questions but always caution that the ticket holder can have their tickets reprinted, to purchase through their website (Marketplace), etc etc.

Lastly, I always meet in person but lately I pair that with having the seller invoice me via PayPal with detailed ticket info for item description, cost, quantity, etc ahead of time. Then meet where we both have access to computer, make electronic payment, and I get tickets.

There is something uncomfortable with a stranger knowing you are showing up at a place with hundreds of dollars.
