Police say counterfeit tickets are a big problem at big NFL games and
they'll be cracking down to make sure fans get what they pay for this Sunday.

     Bears fans just couldn't wait until Sunday to come to Music City.

"It's awesome, beautiful, we love it," said Bears fans Bohdan Vasilik

Thousands more are expected to make the 470-mile trip to watch the Bears take on the Titans Sunday at LP Field.  But while their dedication is genuine, Metro Police say, come Sunday, their tickets may not be.

"In
games where there's a large interest, there's going to be people on the
street selling counterfeit tickets," said Lt. Grant Carroll of the
Metro Nashville Police Dept.

Carroll said the department plans to have undercover
officers on the lookout for scalpers selling fake tickets outside the
stadium.

Traveling fans like Bobby Flood say they'd hate for the weekend to be wasted because of fake tickets.

"It'd be terrible," Flood said.  "People are driving nine hours just to watch
the Bears play Tennessee.  [You] come down here for that game, and can t
get in? Your whole trip s ruined."

Police say there are some things fans can look out for.

"Be
wary of tickets that are printed off a computer," Carroll said.  "The
reason being is if someone buys their ticket online and print off their
ticket receipt, they can make 20 copies of that piece of paper and sell
them."

Some fans say they aren't worried because they bought their
tickets online and got them in the mail, but police say that doesn't
necessarily mean they'll get into the stadium.

"If you do buy a
standard ticket, like say a season ticket holder would use, you still
want to be cautious because at times those can also be counterfeit,"
Carroll said.

Police say that if fans do get turned away at the
gate, they should find the nearest officer and they will do their best
to find the person that sold it to them.
