The Notre Dame athletics ticket office is warning of several reports and evidence of counterfeit tickets to the football home opener on September 5th against the University of Texas. University officials say you need to be extremely careful when you consider purchasing ticekts through non-University sources. While its not uncommon for fake tickets to show up, they say the reports they're receiving are coming earlier and more frequently than usual. Clues to counterfeit tickets include fuzzy printing, rough cuts or perforations, mismatched fonts and the absence of a three-dimensional shamrock hologram with Fighting Irish leprechauns. They also say tickets printed on Ticketmaster stock are counterfeit. If you suspect you have fakes, you are advised to contact police right away.
