LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears are warning fans about an increase in counterfeit tickets after a 5-1 start to the season.
"We've seen an uptick in counterfeit tickets appearing at games," Bears spokesman Scott Hagel said on Friday. "We had over a hundred last week that were confiscated."
There was one arrest associated with the fake tickets.
"If you're not a season ticket holder, Ticketmaster and the NFL ticket exchange are the only 100 percent sources for tickets for games," Hagel said. The Bears say it's not good enough just to examine your tickets. Stolen tickets are often re-sold, but by game time they've been canceled out and are not accepted by the scanner at the gate.
Hagel also warned fans who will be traveling to games on the road.
"We've already had word from a couple of different markets we're going to coming up, specifically Tennessee, that they are also seeing an uptick when they know a lot of Bears fans will be coming to their stadium," he said.
The Bears play the Carolina Panthers Sunday at Soldier Field and travel to Tennessee Nov. 4.

Just a word of caution for those who may be going to the Panther game of planning on traveling to see them play the Titans. If it looks too good to be true it probably is. Stick with known and trusted sources.

I don't work for money it the love of my job that matters to me. Taking a over growen bush and spending hours trimming it down and giving it that perfect look to admire is all that matters to me these days.

Mats posted another warning from the Titans site in the shoutbox so I thought I'd post it here as well. Caution advised;
Football Fans Urged to Beware of Counterfeit Titans-Bears Tickets
Posted Oct 26, 2012
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Counterfeit tickets to the November 4th game between the Tennessee Titans and Chicago Bears are already beginning to show up in the Nashville area despite the contest being more than a week away.
One fan who this week bought what she initially believed were two valid full page computer generated tickets with ticketmaster markings for $125 each decided to check their authenticity at the Titans Ticket Office, only to learn they were fakes. Given the already high demand for tickets to the sold-out Titans-Bears game, counterfeiting is expected to be an issue over the next several days.
(These scammers are getting really good at this)
The Nashville Police Department and the Tennessee Titans remind football fans that the best way to avoid being scammed is to buy tickets from family or friends that they know well, or from the NFL’s official ticket resale platform, NFL Ticket Exchange.
Persons who buy tickets on the street or from strangers do so at their own risk.
Undercover Metro police officers will be on the streets game day specifically looking for persons trying to victimize fans by selling counterfeit tickets. Offenders can expect to be arrested.
