When the Los Angeles Rams hosted the San Francisco 49ers in Week 18, SoFi Stadium was taken over by fans from the Bay Area. There was a sea of red in the stands, as thousands of 49ers fans flooded the Rams’ home building to take away their advantage of playing in Inglewood.
Sean McVay admitted the Rams were caught off guard by the number of fans in attendance and Matthew Stafford said it was hard for the offense to operate because of the crowd noise, causing them to use a silent count.
The Rams and 49ers will square off again at SoFi Stadium in the NFC Championship Game next week, and the Rams would like to prevent a Niners takeover from happening again. Fans on Twitter shared a message on Ticketmaster’s page saying ticket sales will be limited to those from the Los Angeles area.
This isn’t the first time Ticketmaster has limited ticket sales to the home team’s region, but it certainly is a restriction that will anger fans from the Bay Area.
Pathetic & desperate @Rams @SoFiStadium @Ticketmaster Are trying to block 49ers fans from attending the game next week. 49ers Faithful do your homework & purchase tix from other vendors like StubHub & Vivid seats or Seatgeek. Can't stop the invasion can't stop the Faithful. pic.twitter.com/ej1lZCQzfD
