A group of ticket brokers are suing the Texans for more than $1M, accusing the team of “fraud, conspiracy and breach of contract,” according to Jonathan Alexander of the HOUSTON CHRONICLE. The brokers, who have owned permanent seat licenses with the Texans since the team’s inception, allege that before the 2024 season, the Texans “unexpectedly raised season ticket prices on these particular brokers” and “restricted their ability to buy more tickets to sell.” The complaint is “on behalf of 19 PSL owners who are ticket brokers,” and while most are from Texas, some are from Florida and N.Y. They argue that they have “supported the Texans through the down years by buying season tickets and selling them to others.” But they claim that after the 2023 season the Texans “changed their rules.” The lawsuit alleges the team “revoked the brokers’ statuses as ‘tenured season-ticket owners,’ which comes with certain perks.” The brokers claim that the Texans “raised season tickets prices on these individuals and business 10% more than other tenured season-ticket holders because they were selling too many tickets on the secondary market” (HOUSTON CHRONICLE, 4/5).
