in EGGtoberfest
OK, My paranoid self wants to buy 2 tickets to eggtoberfest from an individual I do not know personaly. Is there anyway to verify the tickets are legit? If its just a link you click on and print tickets is it possible for someone to print multiple tickets and essentially sell the same ticket to a bunch of people?  Anybody have a couple of tickets to sell?

    I got a couple extra.  Hang on...my printers jammed.

    JK.  Welcome to the forum.  I don't have an answer for you, but I'd be reluctant to purchase from someone i didn't know (I'd buy from someone on the forum though)

    yes.  This is possible.  Although, I would expect the barcode to only scan once, though.

    Each ticket has a unique scannable QR and number at the bottom (I just looked at my four, and each is different.) 

    So, yes you could print 1000's of them, but only the first one in the door is going to work.

    Additionally, it has my name on all four...…and says "1 of four", 2 of four", etc.

     I certainly hope no one is selling duplicates, but there might be a Nigerian prince out there with some extra tickets to sell.  Ok I will only purchase from a forum member. Thanks guys.

    Mental note for next year: create counterfeit eggtober fest ticket template. 

    No. I wouldn't worry about it this year. 

    Have fun!
