In Warriors rumors and news today, the Golden State Warriors have issued an alert in regard to potentially fake playoff tickets circulating for their first round series of the 2014 NBA Playoffs.
By way of FootBasket.com, the Golden State Warriors have issued an official statement on the matter: "In the event that a Warriors playoff game is sold out, tickets may still be purchased through the Warriors official resale marketplace, where season ticket holders and other fans resell tickets that are guaranteed by the Warriors organization. Resale tickets are currently available through warriors.com, and offer a safe and convenient way for fans to access all levels of tickets throughout the regular season and playoffs.”
While fake playoff tickets have been a problem since scalpers have been in existence, the Golden State Warriors wouldn't have issued such a massive fraud alert if they didn't feel that the number of fake tickets on the market wasn't substantial enough to warrant their attention.
