I was able to get the barcode number of the ticket at hand. I'm going to dig around and see if there is any way to verify the code.
Keep in mind it could be a legit bar code but a fake ticket. A scammer could make dozens of tickets with the same bar code.
A few other things i noticed, in case you come across other tickets:
The legend at the bottom is off("$5.00 facility fee" on the fake - real ticket says: "price includes all applicable taxes")
The colors are off on the writing above the logo and the 45th anniversary logo (among other things, the letters have black outlines on the real ticket and the interior of the logo is not shaded in)
Missing the "no refund, no exchange" language at the bottom of the ticket
As others have said, Coca cola concert series language is missing.
I included a link to a scan of my ticket from March below

This fake ticket also says "45th Anniversary TOUR". None of the real tickets that I have seen have the word "TOUR."
Good eye Nav. The words "Anniversary Tour" also "BUTT-UP" against 1969-2014 which is not on any real tickets i've seen.
Because the tix were all printed in different runs and many date back to March there are many differences in regard what they look like. The bottom line is the bar code - period.
The pricing is not an issue depending on who issued the tix. We had the same tix for both nights issued from the ABB touring office and the Friday tix had 150.99 while the Sat tix had 500.00.
The big scam by the way, which a friend that did not listen to me got hosed on is the I lost my ticket can you email me a replacement. Once that has been done the bar code on the actual physical ticket is now defunct. They bought two Row D Orch for Sat for 200 each and they were of course bogus. Craig's list, and any private seller should not be trusted unless you know them. The re-sellers at least will provide a 100% refund guarantee if the tix are no good. Stubhub is the best option.
Keep in mind that the crooks know that we are all looking for a way in as the two shows approach and can easily get an account here to scam.
Caveat Emptor yall!!
What Fridays ABB touring office tix looked like. Took this pick at Papperdella after we picked them up.
I think some of these are real tickets just barcode not good as either turned in when date changed or already downloaded to someone else which then kills the hard copy. My tickets look just like all of these for sat did not say coca cola but rest looks legit did not scan we were burned as were many others we saw milling around. Either they go to the show with you or don't buy them
