Ticket Scammers

Sep 8, 2019, 8:10 PM

I do not have a solution for stopping scammers, and we are certainly aware of “buyer beware.” However, I believe if I share our experience with you, it may help in the long run.

My daughter and her friend purchased two very authentic-looking tickets from a man outside the gate at the Clemson football game on Sat, 7 Sep 2019. They even compared the look of the tickets with my husband’s ticket and thought everything looked good. We have the tickets and are certainly willing to provide them to you if it would help.

They were originally denied entry to the stadium because the hand-held device by the entry staff indicated a problem. As it was extremely crowded, and the supervisor was otherwise detained, the girls were allowed entry with my husband, to determine if the seats they purchase were vacant or not.

Unfortunately, the seats were occupied by valid ticket holders. The girls were able to sit near us in two seats that turned out to be unoccupied for the game. So they girls didn’t completely lose their money, but their spirits were a little bruised.

We have all learned our lesson in buying from non-reputable sources. I will brag on TigerNet.com and say that I, and everyone I have asked, always have very good experiences on selling and buying through TigerNet. This scammer was an individual, who likely knew exactly what he was doing. He asked for face value for the tickets, and did not pressure the girls to purchase. I have examined the counterfeit tickets more closely, and can see the lesser quality paper, print, and the flaws.

My larger heartbreak is that we observed more than a few Texas A&M fans denied entry because they were also scammed. After watching our Tiger fans embrace the Aggie fans, and go out of their way to make them feel welcome, it truly sickened us to know some had a bad experience because of the scammers – who are probably NOT Tiger fans.

Thank you for your attention, and your efforts to keep Clemson the best university on the map, and the Tigers the best ever. My husband is an alumni and we all love our Tigers.

Sincerely,

Robbie & Christine Parker

Talked to a Texas A&M fan about this exact topic.

my tix are digital. They would be easy to scam

Not if you can only access them through the IPTAY

That’s also easy to track.
