The hold basically means they can be listed, and can be purchased, but the seller can't actually transfer them to the buyer until 24 hours before a game.
I think they just want it to seem scarier than it is to dissuade people from selling/buying.
Here's a link to the story from the source (not Apple's version of it)

Who was drafted 2 years ago to be our right tackle before Spencer Brown? Cody Ford. If Ford was NOT a miss, then Brown probably wouldn't even be a Bill.
It's called context. Sorry I boggled your mind by going a little past "everybody just say how great everyone is".
I'll add some love for AJ Klein. Came in as a stiff short-yardage only guy but has elevated his all-around game such that there's very little drop off if he's in for Milano or Edmunds or as we saw last week if we go to a 3 LB look.
I think a big factor is STH buying up most tix when they became available, speculating on a huge payday reselling that isn't there with the current weather/covid/Canada situation. It also appears to me that there's a big percentage of "newbie" fans who are not prepared for the sacrifice that playoff attendance can require.
It's not just us. KC looks even worse: https://www.ticketmaster.com/afc-wild-card-playoffs-chiefs-v-kansas-city-missouri-01-16-2022/event/06005B21B4813FB2
