Many Auburn fans used, bought fraudulent tickets for Georgia game

The Auburn Athletics Ticket Office released a notice Tuesday that there were several counterfeit tickets used when Auburn hosted Georgia on Nov. 11.

During the game, the ticket office saw fans attempting to use a few different types of fake tickets.

Fans attempted to use hard tickets that were reproduced with inferior paper and incorrect advertisements on the back. Fans also attempted to use tickets with photoshopped incorrect seat numbers.

Scalpers also sold tickets for past or future games and bought tickets from fans with counterfeit money.

While the Auburn ticket office encouraged fans to only buy tickets from the school’s official ticket office, ReplyBuy and StubHub, it also asked patrons to be cautious when buying tickets from secondary sources for the Iron Bowl against Alabama on Saturday, also hosted by Auburn at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
