Warriors to Host 'Stop Fraud Night' After Many Fans Get Scammed on Tickets

The Golden State Warriors are cracking down on ticket scams.

According to a press release, the Dubs are going to host a "Stop Fraud Night" at Oracle Arena when the Memphis Grizzlies come to town Sunday. ESPN's Darren Rovell passed along the image of a shirt that will be given to attending fans.

The release detailed how widespread rip-off tickets have become. Before the Warriors' 99-86 loss to the Boston Celtics on March 8, 58 fans were denied access since they unknowingly bought counterfeit tickets. Those fans will be in attendance Sunday.

Over 1,000 fans in total have been turned away from Oracle this season.

The Warriors have become one of the hottest tickets in sports, so it's understandable this has become a growing problem. While there's not a ton Golden State can do—the team has no control over third-party sites—it deserves props for spreading awareness.
