TDK, I know they are the same ones because me and the other bidder were bidding on the same ones and he has already left feedback for the exact tickets that I have in my hand. They look like hard tickets to me and there is also a scan strip.

There really is no safe way to tell.
20% of single game tickets that show up at Madison Square Garden are fakes.......that's an awfully high amount, and I've heard the number is similar across all major events in North America (concerts, sports, etc)
Just like credit card fraud, it takes a while to latch on to these guys.
A friend of my son's bought tickets to a Toronto Blue Jays game a few years ago through eBay. He shows up, they let him and his family in, and he gets his seats. Two innings later a security guard shows up with another family. Turns out my friend's son bought stolen tickets. The seller was the mailman of the real buyers. Because the real buyer used his Visa card, he was able to prove the tickets were his. My friend's son was relocated to an unsold part of the same section..............but apparently the mailman had been doing this for years, and this particular familt was the first one to actually show up at the stadium to claim their seats. None of the rest had gotten them in the mail, and fought with the stadium...who knows.
But you have to be careful in today's world when you buy items through third parties.

I'm not sure what kind of tickets you got, but whenever I look online for tickets from a third party I make sure the tickets are what they call "hard" tickets. That is, they're the kind you'd get if you actually went to the box office window, not the kind you'd get if you ordered online (through the team's website or ticketmaster) and printed them at home.
The print at home tickets are real, but the problem is someone could make 100 copies and sell them to 100 different people.

How did you know another person got the same one?
*EDIT* Oh ok....that makes sense. Have you contacted the seller about this? Did he list the exact seat numbers on the listing? He could possibly say that it was for a particular game, same section, same row but had maybe 4 tickets in a row for that. If he did in fact specify the seat numbers than he's probably scamming.

Thats a bummer. Go to Craigs list next time or the teams website as they sell tickets there more legitamate.
I believe the tickets have a scan strip on them. Call the venue and anonomously ask them.
