Eugene Police announced Tuesday they discovered two counterfeit tickets at last Saturday's football game.

The number of fraudulent tickets has significantly decreased since the Sept. 29 game against University of California, Berkeley, where ticket scanners detected 31 fakes. Police believe that counterfeit tickets have always been prevalent at Duck games, but they had not been able to identify them before.

Police attribute the decrease in ticket fraud to the public's growing wariness of counterfeit scams. They believe most fans who have been denied entry were unaware they had fake tickets.

Eugene Police had previously reported that no counterfeit tickets were detected at the Saturday game. They recently discovered two fake standing-room only tickets that were seized from a fan at the game.

EPD advises fans to be on the lookout for fraudulent tickets at University sporting events, especially if they buy from a secondary source.
