The secondary market of NFL tickets is a very profitable business, but when people are simply climbing tickets, well, the NFL and its teams do not love that. And they definitely do not love when club players and employees do it for a Super Bowl.

And the League, which frowns in this, caught the resellers.
The NFL can track tickets for their games and has the digital capacity to confirm if the people who bought a Super Bowl ticket really used it.
Then, the NFL is fine to approximately 100 players: 100! – And two dozen employees of the club for violating the league policy of selling Super Bowl Lix tickets above the nominal value, said a source from the League to Outkick on Friday. The story was first reported by Associated Press.
The NFL is not finished. There is an ongoing investigation into the matter.
NFL fines by scale will vary
The real amount of fines will vary. The players who resell their tickets will have to pay 150 percent of the nominal value of the ticket they originally bought. These players will also lose their privilege of buying tickets for future Super Bowls unless they are really playing in the game.
