This is one of many downsides of PDF ticketing. Fraudster buys a nosebleed, edits the PDF to fake a great seat. Ticket scans just fine at the door, since it has a legit barcode. (If the scanner displays the real section/row/seat for that barcode, the person working the door could cross-check it, but I've never seen that happen.)
