Overview

  • Approximately 100 players will pay 1.5 times the face value of tickets they sold while about two dozen club employees face fines at twice their ticket cost.
  • Violators are barred from purchasing Super Bowl tickets for the next two seasons unless they play in the game.
  • Individuals who decline to accept the penalties could face suspensions imposed by Commissioner Roger Goodell.
  • Investigators uncovered a network of “bundlers” that brokered tickets from league personnel to secondary-market resellers.
  • The league is finalizing its probe and plans enhanced mandatory compliance training and tougher sanctions ahead of Super Bowl LX.
