Penn State Athletics on Wednesday advised fans to beware of counterfeit football tickets for the upcoming White Out game against Ohio State.

University officials have notified law enforcement of counterfeit tickets in the marketplace for the Sept. 29 game, according to a news release.

Penn State is encouraging fans to buy tickets only through its two authorized ticket sources — the Penn State Athletic Ticket Office and Ticketmaster. Verified resale tickets are offered through Ticketmaster.com.

‘Fans purchasing tickets from unauthorized sources (including StubHub, Vivid Seats, Craigslist, eBay, and ticket brokers) assume the risk that tickets purchased are counterfeit or the barcodes have been invalidated,’ according to the release.

Fans attempting to enter Beaver Stadium with a counterfeit or invalid barcode on their their tickets will be denied entry.
