Got Tickets???


This is one that will get recycled every year in some form or fashion. Tickets. Sports, special events, and so on. Whether it's the demand for them. The hike in prices for them. Or the fact that some get special treatment to obtain them before everyone else. Tickets will dominate the news in these parts. Usually before the big event is suppose to happen.

Now what I can't figure out is how people will fall prey to the same timeless scheme of buying fake tickets. The schemers are getting smarter trying to stay ahead of the curve while some, namely the ones who will pay anything to get them, are falling behind.

Take for instance the latest incident. State Police and LSU PD were able to crack down on a guy who was selling tickets, that he didn't have, on the Internet to fans who gave him the some of the money with hopes of paying him the rest when he delivered the goods. Naturally once the guy got the money he ceases contact with fans and they are out of some hard earned cash. Not a time to be careless during these times.

The only solution to all of this is to think. If it's too good to be true, it probably is. Did you know???
