Dude bought from sketchy website and is surprised the tickets weren't real.
As someone who has gone to games in the US, England and Germany, I can say that the ticketing system in England and Germany were behind the times. So I'm not surprised they are having issues. At the game in Germany, which was just last year, the only way to get a digital ticket was through Apple Wallet or whatever it is called. I don't have an iPhone, though, and the ticket I purchased direct from the club could not have a paper ticket shipped outside Germany. So I had to stand outside with really bad cell coverage downloading an app on Android that creates a fake Apple Wallet, and then had to figure out how to get the ticket into that Wallet.
