Tickets to NBA finals-how to protect myself

[layinwood]

Me and a friend are going to buy tickets for game three of the NBA finals. I've never bought tickets for an event like this so before I spend 750 or so I want to make sure I'm buying legit tickets. Is there a way to guarantee that you're not getting screwed by counter fit tickets? I had a friend at the gym yesterday say that he had hard tickets to a game and when he went to go in they said the ticket had already been scanned and he didn't get in.

I've bought from scalpers at the stadium and bought many times on ebay, probably over 100 times total, and never got ripped off.

If you use ebay, checking their rating gives you a good indication of the seller.

$750 to go watch 1 game, I'll pass.......Buy a TV instead :0008

I already have two new tvs, don't need another one. 750 isn't that bad. If I thought this would happen again in my life then I might not do it but I'm life long Mavs fan as well as bball fan and this very well could be my last chance to go to the NBA final.

Stub Hub?? You down load the barcodes. Bar codes are verified by stub hub so your ticket is legit

Friend of mine bought a counterfeit ticket to the 2003 BCS title game for $800. The loss of $800 was bad enough, but missing LSU hold the Sooners to 150 yards of total O en route to their first national title in 45 years was a killer.

I agree with live a little and go ... I spent $950 on a ticket to the Super Bowl when the Titans came up one yard short ... was 1st and only time they have made it in 51 years and pace we are going now may be that long again :facepalm:

my best advice would be buying from someone you know and good luck on the tix:0074
