US EditionNFL Fining More than 100 Players for Selling Super Bowl Tickets Above Face Value, AP Source Says
NIAGARA REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY, ONTARIO, JUL 25 – More than 100 players and 24 club employees face fines for reselling Super Bowl 59 tickets above face value, with penalties set at 1.5 to 2 times the original price, league officials said.
- The NFL has imposed fines on roughly 100 players and about 24 team staff members for reselling their tickets to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans at prices exceeding the original cost.
- The violations arose from a long-established league rule, included within the agreement between the NFL and its players, that forbids players and staff from reselling tickets at prices exceeding their original face value.
- Investigations revealed that players and employees sold tickets to a small number of bundlers cooperating with a ticket reseller to distribute the tickets illegally.
- Sabrina Perel, NFL head of compliance, described these as "widespread violations" and stated fines will be one-and-a-half times face value for players and double for staff, with increased penalties planned.
- Players who resold tickets face fines and bans from purchasing near-future Super Bowl tickets unless playing, while the NFL will enhance compliance training and enforce stricter penalties going forward.
