NFL Is Fining Players And Coaches
More Than 100 NFL Players And Coaches Scalped Tickets To Super Bowl LIX – And Got Caught
The NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement prohibits the resale of tickets at a higher price than face value or price players or other club employees paid. The NFL's secondary ticket market is a very profitable business, but when folks are simply scalping tickets, well, the NFL and its teams don't love that. And they definitely don't love it when players and club employees do it for a Super Bowl. But that is apparently what happened at Super Bowl LIX, played on Feb. 9 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. more here | |

Re: NFL Is Fining Players And Coaches
This has been going on for years. It has become a common practice according to what I heard on NFL Radio prior to the last Super Bowl. Why it suddenly became a big deal is the question. Players and others would commonly buy their allotted ticket(s) and show up at the lead-in parties and such and then sell their tickets for a nice profit. It was openly discussed like it was just a perk of the trade. I guess some Karen must have got their panties in a wad over it.

Re: NFL Is Fining Players And Coaches
How is it legal for "ticket broker" to resell tickets at a profit, but not for anyone else? Never understood that.
And yes I saw the part where it is against the collective bargaining agreement. Just think the whole thing is silly. |

We've sold our individual game season tickets for a profit quite legally directly through SeatGeek.
Like you mentioned, what the players and staff did by selling the tickets for profit to a broker wasn't illegal, but just against the CBA. I'll bet it wasn't always prohibited as open as it was. |
