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.

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.

Sounds like a reasonable business decision.

However, with only 144 accounts, i would have thought they could have avoided this story by handling them on a case-by-case basis. Maybe not, but i would hope they would have at least considered it.

Unless they wanted to send a message to others who might be considering buying season tix to scalp them.
A Sicilian message.

Curiously, this is the same reasoning that got me kicked out of Graduate School. I never showed up for lectures, but passed all the tests. I was kicked out for perfect non-attendance.

My favorite part of this story is where the Broncos call out their fan for lying after he tells his sob story.

I also have no problem with Denver's policy. Season ticket holders have a priority right over their seats, but they don't OWN them forever. If they are using the seats purely to make a profit for themselves, rather than go to games forever, then why is Denver selling THEM the tickets?

Put me squarely with DaFace on this. I'd rather have MY TEAM'S FANS in the seats, not whoever bought it at the highest price from someone who is just looking to make a buck.

I think this was a good move.
Ensures more seats being filled by the home crowd.

If you don't go to the games, you don't need season tickets.
Especially if you are just gonna be selling them to Steeler fans,.

How many games is a year is the limit?

What if, living in California, bought season tickets to the Chiefs knowing full well that I was only going to make 3 games a year? Is it ok for me to own them?

Obviously not. Plus, there are no californians allowed.

When I lived in Colo my favorite bumper sticker was "go back to California and take a Texan with you".

Making sure that I have the seats that I want to watch the Chiefs. Maybe I have family out there that I let go watch the games once or twice a season?

What does it matter?

Because the ream would rather the seats be held by locals who will attend every game rather than absentee ticket holders who may sell their seats to rival fans or scalp them to randoms.
When there is a waiting list 75,000 people long it's the right thing for home field and the fans to be selective of who holds season tix.
