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.’’

. Trump's comments are not affecting ticket sales.

Sure they are. He made the NFL mad and they made even bigger fools of themselves in response, with even more protests. That caused ticket sales and TV viewership to tank and multi million dollar sponsors to drop them.

That got their attention and the protests have come to almost a complete stop. But ticket sales and viewership is still down.

Most NFL teams have sold out all home games before the season started so it's impossible for ticket sales to tank.

Not sure why that has to be explained.

.

"Impossible"? Hardly.

For those that had tickets available, sales are down.

But that's peanuts. The real money for the NFL is in TV coverage and that is quantifiable and certainly down.

But it doesnt look good with so may empty seats -
and in addition - when people do not come - concession sales will decreade

Now - the big question -
How will this affect the playoff games and the Super Bowl.

Will Advertisers insist that commericals be reduced from the 5 million dollars for a 30 second spot?

First you laugh at the idea that ticket sales haven't been hurt by Trump's attack on NFL players. In fact, ticket sales have not been hurt.

Now you are saying the money in TV coverage is down. That's not true either. They've sold out all commercial spots.

Or maybe you are saying TV coverage is down. That's not true either. All games scheduled to be broadcast are being broadcast.

I think what you are trying to say is that TV ratings are down. That might be true. Do you have a source proving this?

Aha! Yes, people that have bought tickets and don't go to the game and turn their tickets over to a third party to resell are not getting the high prices they usually get on the secondary market.

Can't help you . It's not happening. All sources are lying.:Rolleyes
I would sincerely like to see the TV ratings showing the NFL ratings are down since Trump's Twitter rants. I went looking earlier in the week and couldn't find anything. So if you got something I'd like to see it.

Over just one month of player, coach, and owner protests of the flag and National Anthem, the National Football League has gone from America's sport to the least liked of top professional and college sports, according to a new poll.

From the end of August to the end of September, the favorable ratings for the NFL have dropped from 57 percent to 44 percent, and it has the highest unfavorable rating – 40 percent – of any big sport, according to the Winston Group survey provided exclusively to Secrets.


Worse for football, which was already seeing lower TV ratings and empty stadium seats, the month of protests and complaints about them from President Trump drove core fans, men 34-54, away, the most significant indicator that NFL brass aren't in touch with their base.

The Winston Poll from the Washington-based Winston Group found that the attitude of those fans went from an August rating of 73 percent favorable and 19 percent unfavorable to 42 percent favorable and 47 percent unfavorable, a remarkable turn against the sport.

Shock poll: NFL now least liked sport, core fans down 31%
