2,000 Fans In Super Bowl Temporary Seats To Be Compensated
Tuesday, the fans that didn't get a seat but bought a ticket were offered compensation for the mishap. Now, those who were stuck with one of the temporary seats is getting a similar deal.
The NFL says about 2,000 fans forced to sit in temporary seats at the Super Bowl will receive a face-value ticket refund or a free ticket to a future Super Bowl.
This is the latest plan to appease fans significantly delayed in gaining pre-game access to their seats because of unsafe conditions for temporary seats at Cowboys Stadium.
The plan, released Thursday, is separate from the one announced Tuesday by Commissioner Roger Goodell for the 400 fans who were denied seats. Those fans were taken to standing-room-only areas or spots without a view of the field.
The 400 displaced fans have been offered a choice of a $2,400 payment and free ticket to next year's Super Bowl, or a free ticket to any Super Bowl, plus round-trip airfare and hotel accommodations.
