Plenty of stories of people buying Olympic hockey tickets and Canucks tickets off CL and showing up at the door only to have the security scan the tickets and inform them that the tickets were invalid.
There was also a story of a guy meeting up with someone from CL to buy game 7 tickets for the agreed price of $4400 for a pair of lower bowl tickets. Seller pulled out a knife and robbed the potential buyer of the money.
*Most* of the scalpers in front of Rogers do it for a living and sell all sorts of tickets.
There are some sites like stubhub that is more secure, but even last year's playoff run there was a news story where they were ripped off of thousands of dollars from fake tickets.
