Ticket brokers had to call an audible after hundreds of Super Bowl XLIX tickets never arrived, leaving fans with no defense.
According to ESPN, several brokers and resale sites had to refuse tickets to fans who they already bought them for the big game today in Arizona. One fan reportedly paid as much as $2,100 for tickets.

It’s time to go back to the old way of doing business and getting these greedy and corrupt “ticket brokers” out of the business. The venue should sell the tickets. To hell with the scalpers.
Selling something you don’t own without disclosure of the risk? Sounds like fraud to me. And since the prosecutor seems afraid to take the case....
That was no “mistake” anyway. I heard two versions of just what the dirtbag dealers were doing. But both amounted to the same scam. They held back on delivery of bought-and-paid-for tickets until the price went way up. Then re-sold the same tickets to buyers offering 2,3,4 times the original price. Naturally they don’t mind refunding the first buyer. Don’t know what the state law might be but they oughta be in jail Monday morning. Should be a killing offense.
That’s disgusting. Bass turds.
Problem solved.
Fools and their money. Easy to part, I guess.
They’re not missing much, missed running into the kicker call. Audio keeps blanking out on NBC for no reason. Crappy coverage.
Go Pats, thrash the thugs from Seattle.
Unless you are one of the select few with a premium seat, it is a waste of money being at the Super Bowl. Much better to watch it at home, or with friends at a neighborhood sports bar.
