    If it's a print@home, they actually can print how many they want and only first one who enters the venue get in.

    im not in any way trying to scare you out of the deal, but i have been burned on fake tickets at that venue. as far as i know there is no way to verify until you walk up and have them scanned. the tickets i bought were off a scalper on the street and i later noticed that the ink would smudge if you rubed hard enough w/ your finger. Aside from this they honestly looked exactly the same, but the paper felt SLIGHTLY thinner when compared to a friends legit ticket for the same show. One thing to be aware of is that they might open up side and rear stage tickets. If its a lot of money, it might be better to hold off for now.

    The answer is NO. Theres no way to be 100% sure. The guy can give you the actual tickets printed from the box office and you can still get scammed. All the original purchaser has to do is go to the box office say the originals were stolen and get new ones printed and the originals are void.
    Most people dont get it and are all worried about print at home tickets you can get hard copy tickets reprinted just as easy. So unless youre the one who actually bought the tickets hard copy with receipt doesnt mean anything.
