More Broncos Fans Voice Displeasure Over Team's Policy For Tickets On Secondary Market

Another Broncos fan has expressed "his frustration" with the team for its policy of revoking tickets from fans who sell theirs on the secondary market, according to Ben Volin of the BOSTON GLOBE. Jim Hayes, a ticket holder since '04, wrote a lengthy piece on LinkedIn that he and his wife were "forced to sell tickets to all but two games" in '15 because they had their first child in August, and then sold all of their tickets for '16 because they were "going through intense fertility treatments to have a second child." Not only did the Hayes family "only attend two of the Broncos’ 22 total home games the last two seasons," they also bought playoff tickets in '15 -- which was not required of season ticket-holders -- and "sold both games on the secondary market." The Broncos note that they "granted several exceptions to fans who couldn’t attend games last year, most notably those dealing with significant health issues and those in the military." The Broncos in a statement said, "While some licenses were reinstated, including those affected by military service and personal health reasons, several accounts were not renewed in an effort to get more tickets in the hands of fans who attend the games. As a result, we’ve been able to have movement on our waiting list for the first time in six years while upgrading more than 10 times as many current season ticket members and increasing our very limited single-game allotment." Volin wrote the Broncos have to "think about their fan base at large, and their decision appears reasonable" (BOSTON GLOBE, 7/23).
