Eugene (KMTR) A warning if you’re still in need of tickets for the December 3rd Civil War game
The Attorney General says con artists and scammers typically try to capitalize of big events like this.
 
Tips to keep from getting scammed are:

Buy from a reputable seller, when possible, use a credit card for any online purchase, that way if don’t get the tickets, or if they’re counterfeit, you can dispute the charge. If you’re buying on Craigslist or Ebay, meet the seller face to face in a public place.

Ask questions about the seats and the seller…and make sure you have contact information just in case. Don’t wire money to anyone you don’t know.

Confirm that the location of your seat corresponds with a section, row and seat in the stadium. If an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Finally, if you’re going to try to buy tickets on game day, remember scammers use color printers to create very real looking tickets.
