I can't see the article because of ad blocks but I would think that NFL Ticket Exchange policy would be unaffected.  Private sales requiring transfer are the only ones affected?

Here's a link to the story from the source (not Apple's version of it)

Is there a single goddamn thing to like about that team and fanbase? Bring back the Oilers.

It’s because Bills fans take over that stadium

 

 

 

Yeah, I think this rule is a response to the Bills and it's hilarious.

 

Buffalo doesn't need a rule like that.

so tickets to the game cannot be resold until 2 days prior?  how do they police this>  you could sell on stubhub, etc?

Wow. Talk about a crybaby move. And they are screwing over any fans who want to sell tickets.

There's a difference between not doing it because you choose to and not doing it because you can't.

I don't see it.  If people are just buying Titans season tickets to sell them to visiting fans then good on the club* for trying to limit transfers.  

* as long as they keep the policy through next year and thin the list of people who just buy tickets to re-sell them.

Any law experts out there? The ticket is my property, it doesn’t say no transfers allowed. There is no law restricting. In NYS there used to be a legal restriction on selling over face-value—but it was actual state legislation.

People buy season tickets often knowing that they can make many of the games, but maybe they have a conflict for a couple of the games. Or they buy more tickets than they need for friends and family to come with them but that doesn't always work out, so they need to sell some tickets for some games.

 

It's not always because you are just trying to make money or are disloyal to your team.

 

Trying to manufacture a loyal fan base that doesn't sell their tickets is foolhardy. It's not who their fan base is and trying to force them to be that way is not going to work. They'll just have much fewer people willing to pay for season tickets.

So even if this works isn't it just going to result in a lot of open space in the stands?

You're purposefully responding to just parts of my post to fit your opinions.  I said "If people are just buying Titans season tickets to sell them to visiting fans then good on the club* for trying to limit transfers. "

The Titans will know who buys tickets and just resells all of them.  I suspect/hope there is more to this than just trying to stop Bengals and Bills/KC fans from taking over their stadium.

I also said If you are one of the Bills fans that complains about Bills STH selling tickets then you should support this move.  I'm not one of those fans and like you I believe it's normal for people to need to sell a game or two.  I also fully plan on being in Nashville if the Bills end up playing there.

A moral way would be after the Super Bowl for next year’s seasonal decision. Then, season ticket holders have the proper insight. Mid week/ season is just really immoral.

Would a VPN be a work around?

I think it would have to be a VPN that convinces Ticketmaster that it's in the future. 

 

Nissan Stadium, I think, is all ticketmaster - and when you have a single platform it's fairly easy to control when and when you can't sell 

[Jrb1979]

I have no issue with it. I can sympathize with those who can't make the game and have to sell their tickets. In most instances that's not a high number. I would imagine it's season ticket holders buying them up and trying to make a profit off the tickets.

I can see the Bills fans grabbing any that are left after the 24hr rule. Just be a bit more expensive.

or

they have a half full stadium, no way this is because the Titans fans are mad they can't get a ticket.

This is so silly. Nashville is one of the top 10 transient cities in the US. No matter how good the Titans are, they'll be dependent on visiting fans to fill the stadium. Haven't small business owners and service industry workers been through enough the past 2 years without people making it tougher on them?
