Fans sue over ticket issues

Seeing as how they let all 400 pissed off people out there im sure the players and everyone were long gone so it was really pointless imo.

Im sure the only reason they did it was to make it look like they had the opportunity of a lifetime when in reality all they did was walk on grass inside a stadium that doesn't even belong to they're team.

The part that bothers me the most was the little kid I seen in the video standing next to the fence. I couldn't even begin to imagine how he felt when they told him no after its all he was looking forward to for the past few weeks. Chances are he told his friends, family, teachers, and every stranger he came across that he was going to the Superbowl and when he got home and they asked how it was, all he can say is they wouldnt let him in.

Sure his dad will make money off of it but the kid wont see a dime and im sure he would of rather seen his favorite player and team win the superbowl then get that new bicycle his dad can buy him now.

If anything they could of let the kids talk to some of the players or do something special for them besides letting them walk out on the field after the game was over.

I agree to a point but there were people paying to stand outside. Would I have been pissed? Absolutely but considering the teams I'd say you can venture a reasonable guess both teams will be back in the Super Bowl at some point in time. They're being given the sun and the moon for their troubles and as I said above those people were allowed on the field after the game. People that paid 25k a ticket weren't allowed on the field and that is a ONCE in a lifetime experience. Sucks but those people are being handsomely compensated for their trouble.

that's all fine and dandy, but who the hell knows when a team will be back to the super bowl, yet alone where the hell i'll be when they do. I could have a heart attack and die tomorrow and miss the chance to see the greatest sporting event in the history of sports, IMO. So no, to a certain degree they could never "repay". It's completely inexcusable for an event like this.

Yet it's all being reimbursed 10 fold now. They're all being given Super Bowl tickets of their choice so that they are guaranteed seeing their respective team if their team reaches the Super Bowl again. In addition to everything else being covered for that game plus a reimbursement of their money from this past super bowl. They are all being compensated AND they were all allowed on the field after the game. They were just talking about it on Mike and Mike.

is inexcuseable. If i were walking up to the gate and was told there was something up with my seats I would be breathing fire. They would be flying my party to Indy next year first class, putting me up in

the presidential suite at the finest hotel and comping all me meals and ground transportation. Then I might calm down and enjoy my 50 yard line seats in the finest luxury facilitites Lucas Oil Field has to offer.

And can they assure me that the team I travellled thousands of miles to suppport will be in next years Super Bowl? Nothing they could do for me would ever erase the dissapointment of not having a seat

for yesterdays game.

While this sounds like an okay deal, they were given 3x the face value. The question is, how many PAID face for it? The tickets were all going for 3x the value on broker sites. So my guess is there were a lot of them who simply got their money back, but were still out lodging, airfare, etc.

I think they got screwed. Jerry Jones needs to be reigned in before he turns the NFL into MLB. It comes to a point where greed is detrimental. I mean, trying to squeeze in 400 extra fans is a bit stupid, don't you think?

Yes. This is true.

I have a feeling you would be singing a different tune if you payed for a hotel, plane ticket, rented a car, and then got kicked out while the Browns were getting ready to play.
