Aggie fans who wait until the last minute to buy tickets to a football game at Kyle Field should beware, Texas A&M University police say: Some fake tickets are nearly indistinguishable from the real thing.

University Police spokesman Lt. Bobby Richardson said some people were turned away from Texas A&M's game against Alabama at Kyle Field on Saturday because they had purchased forged tickets. He said there were at least five instances of fake tickets reported over the weekend.

Richardson said while there is no overall trend, it appears to be the high-profile games that most often draw the forgeries.

"Two years ago was when we had this problem -- the last time Alabama came to town," Richardson said. "It seems to really be the bigger games when we start to see this problem."

Although several of the fake tickets were reportedly sold by a person standing off of George Bush Drive, at least one of the purchases was made on the online ticket exchange website StubHub, he said.

What makes the forged tickets such a challenge, Richardson said, is how authentic they can appear.
