Vikings bought $2MM of Lions Tix to resell at a loss

[PromoTheRobot]

Tickets that went for $1,000 each were offered to season ticket holders for $200.

Salute to them. I also liked the Vikes. NFC bills. 

[Dr. Who]

They were my childhood B team. 0 - 8 in the SB. Maybe it's me.

That is a great gesture by Vikings ownership!

I know Lions were pissed about this but that is pretty awesome for Vikings fans.  I remember hearing that Detroit was the one fan base that didn’t sell many tickets to away team fans

Ya it’s a move I hate unless my team did it 

 

I expect them to make a rule about this since the nfl is kind of eating money on this and then paying their own fees??? Seems a little bit of a conflict of interest

Love this move. Terry, git 'er done

I hate that the Bills could beat the Lions or Vikings in the Super Bowl. I’m glad that the Bills will win it this year, so if either one of those two teams are our next SB opponent it’d be nice at least if they win. Any of the other NFC teams… bring it. Don’t care about you!!!!

Yeah, I'd be super broken up about it.

The Super Bowl America needs: Bills vs. Lions/Vikings

The Super Bowl America is likely going to be forced to suffer through: Chiefs vs. Eagles

The rest of the owners can't be pleased.  How long before they quietly vote to prevent this from ever happening again?

Or, make a rule that the other owners get a cut if you do it.

that's every MetLife ticket after Thanksgiving

I've always pondered about this exact type of scenario.  Very cool.

In recent years, Canadian  Thanksgiving. 😁

Can't believe after the season the Vikings had that they played that bad, & the Lions showed every body else their weaknesses . 

[Big Turk]

Should have kept their money and stayed at home.

[thenorthremembers]

Kind of shocking considering how loud the stadium still was.
