How to tell if a ticket is a fake?

Jeremy · 04.17.2009, 11:04 AM

Today I'm buying tickets to see The Cure here tonight. People on Craigslist are getting desperate and even though I've bought tickets before, I just want to make sure: How can you tell if the ticket you're buying is a fake and invalid? Thanks.

(Obviously I'm not buying through Ticketmaster or anything like that)

if you're picking it up from the person selling it at the venue tonight (which i guess you are) then just go up to some random person in line and ask to compare it with their ticket (before paying for it obviously).

If the bouncers won't let you in, that could be a sign.

Bite on it! If it tastes like a cookie you know it's fake

generally if you get it from some bloke called dave in a pub carpark its not real.

nicfit · 04.17.2009, 12:39 PM

srsly, guess there are tags/holograms simlar things on big events tickets.
In the vast majority of the venues I go to you get a paper thing with a number like when you go to the porkshop to buy some pork parts.
