Seahawks discouraging Season Ticker Holder’s that won SuperBowl ticket lottery from reselling
January 27, 2026
I didn't win the lottery myself, but this was posted in a group I'm in.

Good. Those tickets should go to Seahawk fans who want to attend the game, not people buying just to make a profit
I know a family in Everett who got tickets from the season ticket lottery for 49, sold them for way over face value to Patriots fans, and then got their season ticket renewal privileges revoked. Had to restart the Blue Pride waitlist all over again.
Don’t do it.
Is prohibiting resale legal? Seems to create a strange multi-tier scenario where some ticket holders can resell and others can’t
Awesome policy
I mean this one seems like a no brainer. It’s a lottery for the opportunity to buy tix right? If you can’t go, the next person should get a shot – not Ticketmaster.
With the west coast location I’m hoping there’s a LOT of hawks fans at the game vs pats fans.
How do people get it for?
Good. There are plenty of people on the season ticket waiting list who actually want to attend games. And plenty of people who didn’t get drawn in the lottery who would have loved to be able to buy SB tickets. Get those tickets out of the hands of resellers and to those people instead.
I think all teams do that
if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. if you buy SEASON tickets you are saying that you are willing to attend home games for the SEASON. well lucky for us our SEASON isnt over yet.
the fact that you have season tickets is a luxury itself, let alone winning a lottery to go to the actual fucking game itself. good on them for doing this
Good.
I assume you can flip those tickets for A LOT of money. I won a presale for tenacious d tix at a small venue when they were testing their tour set list. Bought them for 50 bucks but they day of they were reselling for 950$ I still went to the show, but goddamn if I couldnt have used that 1900 in cash. I get why yall would be mad because you wouldnt sell, but I mean its a lot of money.
If they can do this for the Super Bowl, why not do it for the regular season as well?
Life comes up and it’s normal for season ticket holders not to be able to make all games. But I’m good with a hard line on face value.
Meanwhile ticket brokers like StubHub and the like are price gouging as usual. To be clear, I don’t think anyone should be allowed to resell tickets above face value but the double standard is set to only limit the ordinary people is frustrating.
To only have about 5k tickets available for the team to distribute to season ticket holders is also complete bs. Just a reminder that the Super Bowl isn’t for us.

I guess I’m curious how they know you sold your tickets for over face value. Last game I went to was a few years ago with a friend whose dad had season tickets so wasn’t aware of how the transaction might be suspect when it isn’t used by the exact ticket holder.
I love this franchise.
I am looking for tickets to buy from Seahawks fans who can’t go.
That’s great! Get an IRA if you want to make an investment
Secondary market “best price” is ~$7k. I’d love to know the face value of those Bob Uecker seats.
Good!
Love to see it. These should be for fans that go through the process to create a memory, not someone trying to make a buck.
Will they revoke holders for selling their tickets to other Seahawks fans? I work with three different guys that all have season tickets and they’re always trying to sell them to other employees
I’ve seen the resale prices but does anyone know the lower end face value prices?
I hope the 30 people who got drawn see this.
> risk cancellation
This is doing a lot of heavy PR lifting like the “may” used in their previous statement regarding reselling playoff tickets.
how much is face value for season ticket holders buying a super bowl ticket?
As a former box office manager, scalpers (people who sell their tickets for above face value) should be scalped. You can resell your tickets if you can’t go, just don’t mark them up for a profit. It’s not that hard.
If you are someone that won the ticket lottery but can’t go and are worried about the ToS, I am a Seahawks fan that lives in Seattle for a safe and secure local handoff. I’m confident we could work something out where we stay compliant and ensure good butts in those seats.
Just saying…
Our family has season tickets, and didn’t win a lotto spot. We weren’t removed from the lotto, but were told our chances were lower because we sold “too many” tickets to regular season games. (I don’t have control over what tickets are sold, don’t @ me)
I didn’t win the lottery. Again. I still want to go, but $10k for nose bleeds is nuts. Plus, I hear that stadium sucks anyway.
Fuck yes.
Doesn’t say you can’t resell, just can’t jack the price up.
Good. Ticket touting should be illegal.
So I’m confused, if you win the lottery and can’t make the game and don’t sell them then do you pass, and it just goes to another season ticket holder?
Good
the title of this post is misleading.
the opt-in is discouraging reselling above face value, not for reselling at all.
I do wonder if there is some bullshit in there that would leave the original purchaser on the hook for Ticketmaster fees, and whether those are considered part of “face value“… But if it cost you money to resell tickets, maybe that would discourage people from purchasing them only for resale, which is fine by me.
