Default Counterfeit Concert Tickets at Garth Brooks last nite.

So how can anyone buy legit tickets from Kijiji? is it just luck of the draw? I guess even people who bought hard copy tickets got counterfeit ones.

I guess the best part of the story was the scalper agency getting screwed.

Police were kept busy dealing with the matter as dejected fans filed reports. At 7:30 p.m., counterfeit tickets were still turning up and a number of concertgoers saw delays at Stampede entry gates.
Staff Sgt. Rob Van Gastel said he hasn't seen anything like it before. "We're in triage mode trying to deal with this," he said.
Stampede officials initially thought only "five or six" people carried fake tickets, believed to be reprints of originals.
