Ticket scams kick off with new football season

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- When the Jacksonville Jaguars faced the Miami Dolphins last week, football fans packed EverBank field. It was the third largest crowd in three seasons, with 65,433 fans in attendance.

"It was a good game," said Rick Daniel.

Daniel and his brother wanted to be part of the excitement, but they were turned away. "It was upsetting," he said.

They purchased two tickets last minute from someone selling tickets outside the stadium. They paid face value $140 for two seats, in section 116 row M.

The problem is, when they tried to enter the gates, they were denied access because the tickets were already used.
