Oklahoma City, Tuesday, April 19, 2016 – The Oklahoma City Thunder reminds fans to protect themselves against potential fraud by purchasing guaranteedauthentic tickets at okcthunder.com and to be wary of potential fraud for tickets bought through any other channel.
Prior to each of its first two games of the Round 1 NBA Playoffs series against the Dallas Mavericks, the team learned of multiple instances of fans purchasing counterfeit tickets, including:
- False barcodes reproduced on tickets purchased off the street; and
- Professionally copied tickets purchased from websites other than okcthunder.com
“Our team website is the only source for guaranteed authentic tickets,” said Brian Byrnes, senior vice president of Sales and Marketing for the Thunder.
