With the demand for tickets to Saturday's Alabama vs. LSU contest reaching somewhat insane levels, the liklihood of counterfeit tickets being circulated is high as well. Obviously, the university will not honor fraudulent tickets to the game. Several news outlets have listed a series of things to look for in order to check if the tickets you have are authentic.
- Real tickets have a script Alabama "A" on the back which is revealed by gently rubbing a coin on the ticket.
- Real tickets have a moving hologram on the front.
- Tickets that come from a season ticket holder have perforations on the top, bottom and right side of the ticket. The left side is smooth.
If you have purchased tickets to the game and want to ensure they are authentic you can go by the UA Athletic Ticket Office at Coleman Coliseum through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. to have them verified. On game day tickets can be verified at the stadium by reporting to Gate 3 or Gate 32 (ticket windows typically open three hours before kickoff).

2011 LSU Accolades:
"I really like corndogs" -Sparky
"Imperial Intergalactic Overlord Barkevious Mingo" -Andy Staples
"If Alabama's defense is a boa constrictor, slowly sucking the life out of opposing offenses, LSU's is more like a goon that throws the offense into a burlap sack and starts beating it with a stick." -Matt Hinton
"Oregon’s Chip Kelly is generally considered a coaching mastermind. Miles toyed with him here Saturday night." -Dan Wetzel, Yahoo Sports
"I don’t want to say that I think Mo Claiborne is faster than Patrick Peterson…..but I think Mo Claiborne is faster than Patrick Peterson." -Les Miles
Kleph will be there...
…and I will be too. I think we’re the only two RBR writers that will be present.
Verifying Tickets
I always wondered how that worked, unless the box office refused to issue replacement tickets to people who claimed they lost them. Which maybe they do.
What? No way the ticket office issues replacement tickets.
If you lose your tickets, you’re SOL.
God bless our Dark Lord.
Another thing
I was told to look for the Weldon, Williams & Lick © on the back in small letters.
Often, counterfeiters leave that off.
