It was the Thur. night game. They did not have cash for more and had  traveled from somewhere, maybe all the way from Tenn. I can't recall exactly. We bought them some 400 level tickets at the window.

Karma rewarded us with a Jags win that night.

I'd like to think that I've seen every scam in the book but I haven't come across this one yet.   Hopefully, the "fake ticket" story was real and they learned their lesson that the only full proof way to buy resale tix and know it's real prior to getting to the gate is via the NFL Ticket Exchange that actually re-issues the ticket with a new barcode.

             As you may have noticed, your ticket management options in Account Manager have been active since July.  For your convenience and security, we are only allowing entry to EverBank Field this season using the hard tickets you received in the mail or a mobile ticket you access via your smartphone.  The option to print your ticket as a PDF is no longer available.  This reduces the likelihood of counterfeit tickets and also provides a convenient way to forward tickets to friends and guests.

I've been reselling tix since my 1st job out of college (anything to do to make $$).  I had some really big hits with bands like U2 at RFK Stadium in DC but had to wait in line for hours just to get tix which were limited to 8 per customer (so my gf/now wife got 16 total).  This was pre-internet LOL.   Anyway, when I saw PDF versions getting resold for the 1st time I could only think that this PDF resale concept is going to be a disaster to the buyers.
