Warnings for Counterfeit Tickets

From the Clemson University Police Department:

The Clemson University Police Department is aware of the potential for an increase in counterfeit ticket incidents this weekend for the NC State game. We have special details assigned to target these issues and will prosecute individuals who are engaging in this illegal action. We ask fans to call the CUPD (864-656-2222) if you encounter individuals attempting to sell counterfeit tickets on campus. If you have already experienced counterfeiting as result of purchasing tickets, please contact your local law enforcement agency to report the matter for investigation. We also encourage everyone to use reputable sources if you choose to purchase online tickets.

From Clemson Athletics:

Clemson has worked with law enforcement to crackdown on the sale of counterfeit tickets and illegal merchandise around Memorial Stadium. This practice is done to ensure the quality of merchandise and validity of tickets can be verified and our fans are protected from substandard items and counterfeit tickets.

Officials have been notified this game presents an increased risk of counterfeit tickets in the areas surrounding Memorial Stadium. Fans are encouraged to be diligent when purchasing tickets through unofficial sources – the Clemson Athletic Ticket office and StubHub are the only verified locations to purchase tickets to Clemson athletic events.

Fans can verify the legitimacy of valid tickets by looking for specific security features and quality standards. Official tickets have quality foil stamping, bright colored print and are on quality paper stock. If you have questions about the legitimacy of tickets, you can bring them to the Athletic Ticket Office prior to purchasing to verify their authenticity.
