NEW YORK — The FBI raided a printing plant cranking out thousands of fake tickets to Grateful Dead concerts and arrested two people, smashing a long-running ring, the agency said.
The ring peddled the phony tickets at arenas and concert halls around the country for performances by the enduring psychedelic rock band.
FBI agents raided the printing plant Wednesday and found 2,000 fake tickets for upcoming Grateful Dead concerts in New Jersey.
Two men were arrested and nine more suspects were expected to surrender, prosecutors said.
