Ahead of six home games in the next 10 days, the Golden State Warriors are again warning their fans to be extra careful when buying tickets to see them play.

Over 300 fans with fake tickets have been denied entry to games during the 2017-2018 season already, with 17 of those turned away on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Warriors organization is no stranger to being plagued by such an issue. The team issued numerous warnings to fans earlier this year, and stand by their mantra of, "If you go to www.Warriors.com, none of this can happen."

"What that means is people go to third party websites. There are a lot of websites that sell tickets that offer different guarantees," Brandon Schneider, Warriors senior vp of business development and ticket sales, said to KTVU in May. "Unfortunately, they can't guarantee what you really want, which is that your ticket will work."

The Warriors advise fans to buy tickets directly through the team's site (which also includes a resale marketplace), or by calling 1-888-GSW-HOOP.
