Double O Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I'm nervous about a couple tix I just purchased from someone on Craigslist. I know the typical ticket has a large color picture of a different Redskin every week. These are the basic box office style, smaller w/ no player pic. Everything looks legit as far as the date, Skins and FedEx logo, bar code, fine print on back, etc. Has anyone had experience w/ these style tickets?

BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 You're fine. Those came directly from the box office. Had some for the opening night Dallas game in 2010. If you hold them against light, you should be able to see the team logos around the tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB452 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Scratch the back of the ticket with a coin. You should see a skins logo underneath the coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostyj Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 The first season I had season tickets I got them late. They came just as you described. Like Brave said your fine. It all depends when the tickets were bought, and I'm guessing they were purchased after reg season tickets were printed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Your tix sound typical of tix printed at the ticket office rather than at the commercial printer. However, that doesn't mean they are legit. To set your mind at ease, go to ticketexchangebyticketmaster.com, pretend to sell your tix, and at some point they will ask you for the bar code number. When you enter it, it should indicate the tix are good. If there is an error message, there may be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuNiT21 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Yeah your good. I've also gotten a few tickets like this well over the years and never had a problem getting into a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doozinbrah Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Here is another question maybe someone could answer. I bought tickets from a member here. He sent me the actual tickets and also transfered them to me online. I printed those off, can I still use the real ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 This sounds like a BS question. Why on earth would you want to "use" the "real" ones? Why would it matter? It sounds like you have an ulterior motive. It's my understanding that when tickets are converted to pdf, the bar code on the hard ticket is cancelled, and a new code is issued for the pdf. So, no, you cannot "use" the "real" ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use either, but if he sent anyone else the online pdf to print said ticket, and they go into the stadium before you do, you wont be allowed in because that barcode/ticket was already scanned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doozinbrah Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Seriously Mark.....I've been a member here for over 10 years.....I just recently was able to start going to games....I wasn't sure if I was gonna get the real ones in time so I downloaded them....I would like to use the real ones....conspiracy theories much?..lol....I have only been to 3 games so I honestly didn't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doozinbrah Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Oh and to answer the question about why it would matter.....I just converted my gf from a girls fan to a skins fan...so the real tickets are more official...lmao....but ill just use the printed ones as we can keep the real ones as souvenirs...and its her first NFL game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it changed this year, which it doubt it did, when you print a PDF it tells you multiple times before you print them that a new barcode will be issued and your original one on the hard ticket will now be void. The most recently printed ticket is the ONLY ONE that is valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Tuesday morning, you will have exactly what you had Monday morning regardless. You're question just didn't make sense. It still doesn't.
