Warning Issued Over OSU-Michigan Ticket Scam

A warning has been issued to anyone heading to the Ohio State-Michigan game Saturday, or any other football game, looking to scalp tickets.

Watch out for fake tickets and scammers.

Officials said they are still investigating a case from the Texas vs. Texas Tech game two weeks ago.

The only difference in the fake tickets is that the coloring of them is a little off.

Officials said a team of scalpers sold hundreds of these fake tickets to unsuspecting fans and that they made off with about $100,000 in cash.

If you are scalping a ticket in person, Jarold Huddleston, Texas Tech Athletic Director said, " A fan recommended that someone take a picture with the person who sold the ticket, or get contact information, or have that person call your cell phone from their cell phone."

If the person selling the ticket won't do that, Huddleston says buyer beware.
