Season-ticket holders with an established pattern of reselling a majority of their game tickets are headed for a home-field disadvantage in the near future.
In Green Bay, Seattle, Indianapolis and Tampa Bay, current season ticket holders received warnings to consider before they sell game tickets for the upcoming season.
General manager John Schneider and head coach Mike Macdonald made mention after last season of the disappearing home-field edge the Seahawks experienced during their Super Bowl contender era. Since-traded wide receiver DK Metcalf said the Packers took over Lumen Field.
Active season ticket holders in Seattle received notice that their accounts will be closely monitored during the 2025 season and renewal eligibility “may be impacted if it is determined that your tickets were primarily used for resale purposes.”
In February, the Packers began canceling season tickets for anyone who had sold “100 percent of their tickets for multiple years.”
The Buccaneers are permitting fans who spring for season tickets the opportunity to return tickets for two regular-season games in exchange for a credit toward 2026 season tickets.
