Is there a way to tell if a printed camping pass is fake?

By printed do you mean hard tickets or ticketfast?

A legitimate Ticketmaster ticket has a blue cast and water markings when held up to any light. A fake does not. Anyone with a Ticketmaster ticket for any concert- go hold it to a light and you"ll see the markings.
Someone may know more about ticketfast tickets. Seems to me you could print an unlimited number off your printer ? I think I have always been leery of home printed tickets.

there is such thing as real ticketmaster stock that was stolen and used to make fakes. the only way you know if its real is if you buy from an authorized source.

Ouch! So there is no way to be sure just looking at a ticket. Makes it even more difficult on the secondary market.

@ Countrygurl - so how is this exchange for wristband thing gonna work. Is it done as you walk thru the gate for the first time? If so, that first rush thru the gate is going to be WORSE than normal. Or as we check in to campsites will they do it then???? and then as others arrive to campsite they have to do somewhere....

I know this is to Countrygurl, sorry to butt in. If it's done anything like last year, there will be spots at the entrance to each campsite that you can exchange your tickets for wristbands.

I hope they do it better this year. Tried to get my wristband last year on Friday when we got there and they told me the booth was closed and just get it at the gate on Saturday. At the gate on Saturday the Security told me there were no wristbands there. They had to get me a supervisor to get wristbands. Took about twenty minutes.
