NFL vote count scandal reveals, more than 100 stars may face ban, and NBA has precedents

Now, there is a strong aid in the NFL, namely, popular queen Taylor Swift, and the Taylor Swift, the star of the Taylor Swift Kansas City Chiefs, often appeared in the NFL to watch games, greatly increasing the ratings and attendance of Kansas City, allowing "Swift Economics" to further enhance the market value of the 2025 Super Bowl.

Of course, as the No. 1 league in North America, the market value of the Super Bowl itself ranks among the best in the world, and Taylor Swift's role is just icing on the cake.

The official number of Super Bowls announced in 2025 was 65,719, setting the second highest record for the venue to host the Super Bowl, second only to the 71,024 people at the 7th Super Bowl in 2013. The ticket price range of the secondary market is $6,600 to $29,000, and the VIP seats are even as high as $70,000.

has brought more than $50 billion in economic impact to New Orleans, and related consumption (food, peripheral goods) across the United States has reached $1.73 billion.

However, a recent survey result has made the 2025 Super Bowl controversial.

The survey shows that at least 100 NFL players and about half of the coaches and staff of 32 teams have been accused of violating league rules and selling Super Bowl tickets at a price higher than face value.

According to league rules, all NFL players can buy two tickets at face value, and this year, the Philadelphia Eagles beat Kansas in New Orleans, reportedly between $950 and $7,500.

But these NFL stars will use the channel tickets purchased by player qualifications to sell them at high prices on resale websites, and some tickets are sold at close to $57,000! Fry 10 times!

ESPN said players could face fines and even banned if they refuse to pay high ticket fees.

While the media has not exposed the names of players, coaches or teams that specifically violated the policy, some have paid the fee to avoid missing game time. This long-term policy of the

league has been explicitly incorporated into a collective bargaining agreement, prohibiting league or club employees (including players) from selling tickets for NFL games obtained from employers at a face value or above the face value of the employee’s initial payment (whichever is lower).

Violations of stars reselling tickets are common in major leagues, and they also occur from time to time in the NBA.

Under the NBA Labor Agreement, each player is entitled to a certain number of free tickets in each game (both home and away).

And these tickets are usually in good locations and are for players' families and friends.

Home Game: 4 free tickets.

away game: 2 free tickets.

Therefore, people often see some celebrities and socialites appearing in the VIP area in the first row.

The most famous case: Indiana Pacers' "Ticket Gate" scandal (2007)

Pacers guards Jamal Tinsley and Marquez Daniels, both of whom were fined and suspended for reselling tickets.
