re: Avoiding fake tickets

You can always ask them to bring it to the gates and have them scan it. Usually, if the person is trying to sell fakes, they'll come up with some BS excuse why they can't or don't want to go up there. If someone has real tickets they're trying to get off of, they usually don't have an issue doing something to ensure to the buyer that they're not fake, especially when it's close to game time and they're running out of time to sell the tickets.
