“True, they ought to be able to sell tickets to just the people they want to sell them to, but the reality is that they are bound by all kinds of regulations and laws due to the fact that they are selling Public access to a government owned and operated facility.”
In today’s litigious society, I’m sure we’ll see a lawsuit if there’s the slightest validity to what you’re saying. In fact, we may well see one even if there’s no validity to your position...
Regardless, I’m betting that suit is a losing proposition for the plaintiff.
I'm sure it is a moot point in that no Californian will be able to prove they were barred from purchasing a specific ticket because all tickets were sold out in 11 minutes.
In order to prevail you would need to prove both active discrimination and damages.
Frankly I think the whole thing was just a publicity stunt to stick it to the SF Fudgepacker fans.
It will probably backfire because the FudgePackers will be psyched up to stick it to the Sea Hawks where the sun doesn't shine.
Personally I don't care about the game. I'll be spending my day entertaining my granddaughter.
