The scene: your girlfriend and/or boyfriend (hey, nothing wrong with polyamory) got you tickets to The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. You’ve been waiting your whole life to see those goats up close, so naturally, you want to post pictures of your beloved gift on Facebook, rubbing it in all your friends’ rodeo-less faces. Here’s a tip: don’t. Because someone will steal it.
The problem, technically, as illustrated by a Houston local news affiliate below, is with the the barcodes. Would-be thieves can use the pictures you post to copy your legally acquired ticket and slap the same barcode on their own, homemade versions. They can even use them to make multiple fakes, selling them to unsuspecting rodeo (or music) enthusiasts by the dozens. Now you’re just hurting everyone.
So if you must show your friends, family, and potential strangers where you’re headed, please, for everyone’s sake, at least cover up the barcode. Or you know, just don’t gloat in the first place. [ABC Action13]

Or post it the day after?
I’ve often thought this when people post pictures of tickets for sale on eBay.
I’m ok with people who would go to a rodeo being defrauded… and/or set on fire.
Seems harsh, just a tad.
No, not really.
Fire Rodeo; the spectacle of spectacles
I’d pay to see people who payed to see a rodeo burnt to a cinder, slowly.
I have been to this Rodeo, it is quite nice actually;although according to a llama I should be set on fire.
Surely they can tell your ticket isn’t a fake, they look at the camera footage and find the person who has the fake one and kick them out.
If you get the right kind of paper to print on or something even close a busy member of staff dealing with thousands of ticket holders might not have the time or patience to notice.
yeh but when they cant scan u and notice ur ticket isnt fake and see the receipt of where u bought it they can track they faker down.
You are aware that over 2million people attend this event?
