EDITED TO ADD: To clear up misunderstandings regarding the fake tickets going around,
the original ticket holder is not making the fake tickets and scamming
people and he should not be contacted or harassed. The scam is being
perpetrated by the someone who purchased the ticket from the original
ticket holder.
The serial codes to look out for is: TWVTO53W 03703
To someone who isn't familiar with the real ticket, it is a very
realistic looking photocopy with store bought holographic craft film on
the back. On the front the embossing is flat (because it's a photocopy)
- you should be able to feel the embossing with your eyes closed. On the
back, the second bar code and price levels are covered up by the fake
holographic film.
A person named Mike might be selling this ticket. It's been reported to
the San Diego Sheriffs Department so if you get scammed contact their
fraud division and give them all the info you have on the seller.
