      <lead><![CDATA[WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Winston-Salem State University officials scrambled Monday to come up with a plan after hundreds of ticket holders to Saturday's Chris Paul All-Star basketball game were turned away at the door.]]></lead>
      <text><![CDATA[WSSU spokesman Aaron Singleton said ticket holders were being given refunds at the Anderson Center starting about 12:15 p.m. More than 50 people were in line when the refunds were being handed out. The refunds will be available through Wednesday.Fans said they were furious when they couldn't get inside the game, despite holding tickets."I think it was really shady. If the gym has capacity, why would you sell 4,500 tickets?" one fan said. "Sad part about it, there was at least 500 people out here. They told us two hours after we stood out here that seats were all filled and they were over capacity already."Singleton said around 2,800 tickets were printed and the gymnasium holds 3,000. He said the school was investigating the possibility that the tickets may have been counterfeited. He said the chancellor's office had assumed the investigation, but local law enforcement had not been contacted by Monday afternoon.Officials said they tried to get as many people inside the sold-out venue before the game started.The game featured NBA standouts such as Lebron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant and former Wake Forest player and NBA Rookie of the Year Chris Paul.Face values on the tickets are $40 and $100 for courtside seats.It's unclear who will pay for the refunds. The proceeds from the game went to the CP3 Foundation and WSSU athletics, with WSSU being given $25,000.Whether the university or the CP3 Foundation are stuck with the bill remains to be seen.]]></text>
