What does this have to do with a leftist view of free markets? This IS a free market activity - a private business (the Seahawks) are choosing who they would, and would not, like to do business with.

Exactly. Niners fans in CA are banned from the game as they can purchase tickets through 3rd party vendors.

Correction to #14, “Niners fans are NOT banned from the game”

This would be true only if the Seattle Seahawks owned the Stadium. I believe the Stadium was built with tax money by the State of Washington and is owned and operated by the State. In that sense the Seattle Seahawks are a quasi-public entity. The Seahawks are just another example of crony capitalism at work. A marriage between the state and corporations.

Very few Major League sports teams own their own stadiums. I believe the LA Dodgers may be the only one left.
