Showing off your hard-earned Warriors playoff tickets on your Instagram account may be tempting, but Warriors officials are warning fans against it.

KCBS learned that lesson the hard way earlier this week, when someone grabbed the bar code off of some corporate tickets that were briefly broadcast on television, CBS San Francisco reports.

KCBS believes someone was able to capture an image of the bar code and create duplicate tickets, which were used to attend the historic Warriors win number 73 over the Memphis Grizzlies Wednesday night.

"The bar code is a live, living creature. You don't want to make that visible or other people can use it, unfortunately," Brandon Schneider, Warriors senior vice president for business development told KCBS.

Schneider said last year during the 11 home playoff games, the Warriors were duped with 450 fake tickets.

So, as tempting as it might be to flaunt your Warriors playoff tickets on social media, just don't.
