Spotting counterfeit tickets for the Super Bowl

As to detecting counterfeit tickets, the NFL security states that the following security measures have been taken:

(1) There is a detectable laser cut with the inscription "AZ 42 AZ 42" approximately 1 inch down from the top of the ticket between the bar code and the gate/section/seat description.

(2) There is a hologram on the back that will alternately show the stadium and the Super Bowl logo.

NFL security also mentioned that last year they had a significant problem with "snatch and grab" incidents caused by pick-pocketers and other thieves. Please be on the lookout for these tactics.
