Broncos forced non renewals to season ticket holders.
http://www.denverpost.com/2017/05/03...ckets-weeding/
The Denver Broncos booted season-ticket holders who didn’t go to a single game last season and that led to upgraded seats for 144 accounts and about 400 seats through Monday, compared to only 14 accounts and 39 seats the previous season, the club said. When all upgrades are made, the forced non-renewals also will allow the Broncos to make season tickets available to some fans on the 75,000-person waiting list for the first time in six years and increase its very limited single-game ticket allotment. Last season, 97 percent of the seating capacity at Mile High Stadium came from season-ticket holders, leaving just 3 percent for single games. The Broncos said their legal “weeding out” — based on technology in the electronic ticket resale market — is putting “more tickets in the hands of Denver Broncos fans,” team spokesman Patrick Smyth said Tuesday. But it has outraged some long-time season-ticket holders who question how the Broncos can prove what tickets were sold and why they weren’t warned of the policy. Broncos Season Ticket Holder Upset About Losing Seats CBS Denver Aurora’s Mike Fletcher, 69, had season tickets since 1977 but was told his 2016 no-show would end his annual agreement with the team. The season-ticket policy states that every account is a revocable license issued annually. Related Articles March 9, 2017 Good news for those at the front of the Broncos’ nearly 75,000 season tickets wait list Fletcher appealed to the Broncos, saying a collapsed lung and lung-reduction surgery in 2016 forced him to sell his tickets last season. The team denied his appeal, and according to the Broncos’ ticket office, Fletcher’s tickets from 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 all were sold on the secondary market and used. “I have tickets showing that I went to games, or I’d let my kids go and buy a handicap seat for myself,” Fletcher said of attending games from 2013-15. “It’s been difficult for me to hold those tickets at times,” Fletcher said. “At times I couldn’t give those tickets away. A season-ticket holder has to give them their money in February of each year. If they’re checking anyone’s tickets, they ought to let people know that and put it in their policy.” He added: “I guarantee you they didn’t take some of these sky-box owners’ tickets back if they didn’t go to at least one game. But how do they know that? How do we know that?” Eric Siegler, who lives in Chicago, said he sold his seats last season to help support his cancer-stricken mother-in-law in Minnesota, who has since died. After being notified of his non-renewal, Siegler wrote an appeal letter to the Broncos, and also had his father, sister, aunt, cousin and three friends write the team. Each email was obtained by The Denver Post. Denver just keeps on being the shit bag franchise that they have always been. |

I think most teams are monitoring sites like stubhub and tracking which seats are always for sale. I don't have an issue at all with the policy. They delivery of that policy is always up for debate and in the process, some people will likely get screwed over.
It's all an effort to ensure the fans of the team are in the seats.

They prolly don't, but if it was sold on the NFL's site, or another site like stubhub, it's a safe bet it wasn't family. I'd say this might drive the underground market where there's no documentation.

Pretty easy to manage/monitor which seats and how often they are offered for sale or sold on StubHub. And, who knows - those around the seats may be complaining about 'other fans' showing up every game.

Of course the newspaper sent a reporter out to write up the biggest sob story they could find, and even then, this guy admits he hasn't used the tickets in at least 4 years. No problems with this, legally or conceptually. |

Good way to keep more of your team's fans in the stadium vs road fans. |
