The New Jersey State Supreme Court has agreed to hear a class action lawsuit stemming from the 2014 Super Bowl.
New Jersey law protects consumers against inflated ticket prices by requiring 95% of ticket sales to the general public.
In 2014 the NFL sold only 1% of Super Bowl tickets to the general public, through a nationwide lottery.
The lawsuit seeks reimbursing hundreds of millions of dollars to people who paid over face value.
I would think any ruling could only apply to New Jersey residents.
NFL attorneys have declined to comment.
Seems to me most class action lawsuits are for the benefit of lawyers, but an unfavorable ruling for the NFL could
change how Super Bowl tickets are sold.
