Flyers Fan Sue Over Winter Classic Tickets
The Philadelphia Flyers are being sued by season ticket holders. Not over their recent series loss to the Devils, but over a possible breach of contract.
Flyers season ticket holders bought tickets for 44 games before the season. That's 41 home games and 3 pre-season games. When the tickets arrived, there were only 43 tickets plus a fake ticket for the Winter Classic.
It contained instructions on how to purchase Winter Classic tickets. And the threat that season ticket holders MUST purchase Winter Classic tickets. Not just the Flyers / Rangers game, but tickets to the Alumni Game and AHL game had to be purchased as well.
And therein lies the rub.
Past Winter Classic hosts have traditionally given Season Ticket Holders the first opportunity to purchase tickets to the Classic. But not forced them too. Even a force would be okay if it was understood before the purchase.
...more to come...
