Counterfeit Game Tickets Outside PNC Park and Acrisure Stadium

Scalpers and counterfeit ticket sellers operate outside both North Shore venues on game days, particularly at the PNC Park main entrance on Federal Street and the Acrisure Stadium lot B area near Art Rooney Avenue. Counterfeit tickets appear identical to authentic ones but fail at the turnstile scanner. Victims lose the full purchase amount with no recourse, as cash transactions are untraceable.
