To me this seems like a non-story. Even Seahawks fans can't get tickets. They probably release less than 500 tickets.

Limiting it to Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Montana, South Dakota or Western Kansas. That's according to bigfootball. Great reporting CSN Bay Area and ESPN. Gimme a break!

Niners, if you want to have tickets to the NFC Championship, how about starting by winning the West?

Is this true?

You are right. It is not a story. It is to provide 49er fans something to whine about and an excuse to add to their list.RussellMania":kmhge9hm said:I agree, don't know why this is even a story. If the 49ers were blocking people from Washington it really wouldn't be a big deal to me. It's called a home game for a reason. I'm also pretty sure they stop people from outside their territory from buying season tickets so that you don't have people around the country just buying them as investments to sell on them on StubHub. It's probably not even local team rules but NFL rules.

This gesture, in no way whatsoever, keeps California residents from buying tickets secondhand. Almost all, virtually 100%, of opposing fans will buy their tickets from a third-party distributor (stubhub, etc) and there's nothing the Seahawks organization can do about it.
drdiags":t71ggve7 said:The ticket issue just helps talking heads and butt-hurt fans hype the flames. To cut down the homicide rates, it probably isn't a bad idea to exclude visiting fans. Though I am sure our traveling fans wouldn't buy that line of thinking.
Teams should be able to sell 100% of their seats to team fans but for some TBD reason the NFL likes having a small block set aside for visiting fans and misc folks.
Would a more restrictive ticketing policy really change the appeal of the NFL? I wonder.
