From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer story:
But TickPick has only a small share of the total NFL secondary sales market and told the Examiner within the story that it couldn’t specify whether the decrease was related to Trump’s comments or other factors.
TickPick spokesman Jonathan Gluskin reiterated Monday that: “We were clear on our end not to specify a reason for the decline.’’

On actual sales data, Lawrence said that SeatGeek would be far more reflective of what’s going on with NFL tickets than what the Examiner story cited. Lawrence said SeatGeek controls such vast amounts of ticket inventory that he would consider it “a good proxy for the overall NFL market.’’
And SeatGeek spokesman Leyden said “we haven’t really seen any noticeable impact’’ from Trump’s calls for a boycott. “Sales are about what they were prior to any sort of calls for a boycott,’’ he said. “Listing prices never really took a huge plunge. I mean, we typically see NFL ticket prices drop leading up to a game and there hasn’t been any more significant of a drop than average.’’
And even if there was a noticeable drop in secondary market sales and pricing, he added, it’s difficult to attribute it to any one thing because the NFL only plays weekly games.
“If it’s bad weather in three cities that had games Sunday, we’d see prices plunge,’’ he said. “If it’s beautiful weather, we’d see prices go up.’’
Leyden added: “It doesn’t mean that people aren’t boycotting. But if they are boycotting, they are being evened out by people that are now interested in going to a game for a different reason.’’
