Alabama fans warned about counterfeit tickets

Full event details »

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Football fans are being warned to make sure their tickets to the Tennessee-Alabama contest on Saturday are the real thing.

The University of Alabama athletics department's media relations office sent out a notice cautioning fans to be on the lookout for counterfeit tickets to Saturday's game against Tennessee at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

The notice says the tickets are being sold on the Internet and by sellers outside the stadium and elsewhere on campus on game day. It says the only authorized outlet is the university's ticket office.

The face value of a ticket is $70. The Web site StubHub has tickets for the game ranging up to about $400 apiece.

Not surprising. Top to bottom, a very shady program. Textbooks, fishing trips, tape, now fake tickets, ref's are probably cashing their checks now to guarantee a 'bammer win.

The way to determine if the ticket is genuine: it has a coupon printed on the back for a free can of skoal.

Only in Bama would they do this. Counterfeit text books, money(monopoly), now game tickets. Please get the couch off the front porch.

At least their games are sold out, and it's hard because of Halloween to get anyone to go to SC game. It won't be 2/3 Full that night. But I will be there.

Excellent response.

The University of Alabama needs the extra money. They have to replace all of the computer monitors on campus after students used white out to correct errors.

They're hard to detect because the Alabama ticket office uses red crayon too.

Actually, that came from the General. He was reported as saying, When he heard the team take the field, it sounded like a herd of elephants. personally, i think it represents the weight criteria for their cheer leaders! GBO
