Real or Fake tickets?

I just got a pair of tickets through a trade, is there any way to tell if they are real of fake??

(don't want to be surprized the day of the show!!)

I don't know about the people who make good fakes, but beware of anybody who got stuck with invalid tickets from Ticketmaster's online sales. Those tickets say general admission and have the correct dates and times along with seat numbers. They also say "Preferred Parking Pass" instead of Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band. These are being sold by scalpers that figure by the time you find out that they are no good, they'll be long gone. Once again, if it says "Preferred Parking Pass", it will not get you into the theater, only a good parking spot.

I kknow at some venues like great woods there is no prefered parking spot tickets being issued by ticket master so fake tickets from great woods may be harder to noice.

I just checked the tickets with a blacklight (something i have seen at the gates of concerts) and some design showed up when the light was on them. I figure that means they are real.
