In a multistate settlement with six attorneys general, the National Football League agreed Tuesday to refrain from setting minimum ticket prices for league-wide game seats that are resold in the secondary ticket marketplace.
The attorneys general of New York, Ohio, Massachusetts, Florida, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia said the settlement dated Nov. 15 closes an inquiry they launched in 2014 into whether the league’s “price floor” practice effectively set artificially high prices on tickets resold through the NFL Ticket Exchange platform and other league-sanctioned secondary sites. The investigation involved ticketing practices of the Buffalo Bills, the New York Jets, the New York Giants, the New England Patriots, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The league said it already had discontinued the practice.
