A man sold nearly $1 million in UGA football tickets; those tickets didn’t actually exist

He allegedly used the money for his own purposes.

JONES COUNTY, Ga. — An Alpharetta man is facing federal wire fraud charges after prosecutors say he swindled real estate investors and University of Georgia football fans out of nearly $1 million.

Matthew Neet, 43, of Alpharetta, was arraigned in federal court on Thursday, accused of running a scheme that targeted both would-be investors and college football fans eager to secure tickets to high-profile UGA games.

According to prosecutors, Neet defrauded at least two dozen victims by offering investment opportunities and game tickets he never intended to deliver. Authorities estimate victims paid him $943,000, money prosecutors say Neet instead used for personal expenses.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation says Neet’s alleged scheme spanned both real estate and sports fandom. Investigators claim he promoted supposed investments in teak and timberland properties in Costa Rica, despite having no plans to invest the funds.

At the same time, Neet allegedly offered tickets to UGA football games against Alabama, Texas, and Mississippi, tickets that were never delivered.

“Neet allegedly exploited college football fans and investors for personal gain,” said Paul Brown, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta. “As the popularity of college football continues to grow, we urge fans and investors to verify the legitimacy of offers, especially when large sums of money are involved.”

Neet waived indictment and agreed to proceed by criminal information on Dec. 19, 2025. He was arraigned before U.S. Magistrate Judge John K. Larkins III.

“As we enter the college football playoff, fans should exercise caution when purchasing tickets for games,” said U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg. “Scammers may seek to exploit the rich history and tradition of college football for quick cash. And investors should always be wary of opportunities that seem too good to be true.”

I really like Isaiah West and don’t think we would need to add a star in the portal.

Of course you go after the best available, but Bo and Isaiah is a nice pair to have.

I agree with that. You have 2 true frosh who are showing early signs of stardom, love to see them progress together. With or without People’s, that still leaves Turbo, Akih and Bey. That’s still a loaded backfield imo

Re Klare: he hasn’t really blown anyone’s hair back this year. I would be kind of surprised if he left tbh.

Spot on. He’s likely holding out hope that he can get some big catches in the playoffs and a 5-7th round draft grade. Likely not going to happen, needs to stick around another year and work himself into a day 2 draftee.

HC Ryan Day (B1G Coach of Year, B1G Champion, National Champion)

Captain Buckeye

Yes, he excels at it, but he also sucks at it. It just depends on which Day we get and from much of what I’ve seen this year, I’m not super encouraged. Hartline didn’t call that bullshit Indiana scheme by himself. Let’s hope that we somehow get the CFP 2024 version.

Luckily we aren’t playing TCUN. Other than them Day has been very very good.

Think of the game with long layoffs. UGA, Utah, and both Clemson games.

I agree it’s likely a benefit because now the tendencies for the year start over. They’ll have to study the past years film to get a gauge on his tendencies et.

The turtling was Julian more than Ryan. He definitely got hit more than usual, but there were also a lot of plays where he had time but felt pressure earlier than it was there. He was not processing or executing anywhere his usual level. Far from a bad performance but also not near his usual self, particularly with some well drawn up plays that were just missed. Good learning moment for a young QB who is ultra quick at processing what the defense is doing but has not been tested heavily very often this year (Michigan didn't touch him). Eager to see how he responds. I think he'll rise to the challenge.

It will also help that Tate will likely be able to stay on the field a lot more, with 3 weeks of rest under his belt.

Yeah, agreed, Sayin got rattled and confused that game, and it took a while to settle in.

Let's hope that the O line holds up. Tegra not playing should be a step in the right direction.

Hopefully he can find a suitable landing spot. Kid has talent.

Hopefully, but a third system in 3 years is incredibly difficult for a young QB.

I'm assuming Haynes King is finally graduating, maybe GT wouldn't be a bad landing spot.

My biggest fear is Ruben Bain gets a sack on Sayin, and Day freezes up to protect him. That is the one way that I can see Miami beating us, is if they put pressure early, and Day turtles up, which unfortunately seems to be a tendency.
