A man was arrested after he allegedly sold fake CFP National Championship tickets to a woman for $5,000 outside Hard Rock Stadium, authorities said.
Eddie Hudson, 65, was arrested Monday on a grand theft charge, an arrest report said.
According to the report, the victim flagged down authorities in a parking lot outside the stadium after she said she was trying to buy tickets to the game when Hudson and another man approached with the promise of getting her tickets.
She said Hudson offered her two tickets for $5,000, and she transferred $5,000 to him through Venmo, the report said.
The victim said the unknown man sent her a fake ticket picture and fled into the crowd, and as she tried to verify the ticket through Ticketmaster Hudson started to walk away, the report said.
The report said Hudson, who is from the Bronx, was “apprehended by fans” and arrested before he was booked into jail. He later appeared before a judge who set his bond at $2,500.
