I'm no lawyer and perhaps someone with legal experience can weigh in, but what business does a sports team have in determining what a person can do with a game ticket they purchased? I could understand it if they prohibited all resales as often times you will see disclaimers on certain products saying Brand X is not available for resale, but once I buy something, it's my personal property to do with as I please.
We discussed this topic before, and someone gave as an example of a person buying a car then altering it with off market equipment, that it could damage the brand name of that vehicle, and that the car manufacturer had the right to determine what a person could and couldn't do to their vehicle after it was purchased. But this analogy does not seem to fit the game ticket scenario.
I agree with you about the dummy accounts, but like you, I don't know how to stop it.
Was me that brought up Ferrari having stipulations attached to the purchase of one of theirs.
Although not exactly the same, it does show that things can be sold with stipulations that dictate what can and can’t be done with your personal property.
My opinion is, what I actually know is, anything can be sold with stipulations.
Game tickets if I’m not mistaken come with a disclaimer/contract attached to them.
The NFL could easily (if they choose) attach a “no resell” stipulation.
“User agreement” is a thing, and most of make the agreement on a regular basis.
Not reading the fine print doesn’t release you from the agreement if in fact the other party chooses to enforce it.
I’m not saying I agree or disagree with the NFL doing such, I’m simply stating that the tickets can be sold with any stipulations the NFL wants to attach.
Purchase or don’t but if you do, you have agreed to the stipulations.
Pretty simple really.
