Alabama sounds warning over counterfeit tickets

The University of Alabama has warned fans to check the validity of their tickets after becoming aware of the possible use of counterfeits for the Crimson Tide American football team’s sold-out home game with Texas A&M this Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

The university has urged fans to verify their tickets at the UA Athletic Ticket Office before the game and said that officials will be on hand at the game to examine tickets.

“Unfortunately, counterfeit tickets – sold on the internet and by individuals around the stadium and on campus on game day – can lead to some fans being defrauded,” the university said.

“With this in mind, the UA Athletic Ticket Office would like to remind fans that any person who purchases a stolen or counterfeit ticket may be denied admission at the gates and any individual trying to gain entry with a ticket found to be fraudulent could be subject to investigation.

“Also, any person in the stadium who is caught with a stolen or counterfeit ticket will be ejected.”

The university reiterated that the only authorised ticket outlet for Alabama American football tickets is the UA Athletic Ticket Office.

“Buyers who purchase tickets from other sources do so at their own risk,” the university added.
