National Football League owners have made a post-season ticket policy change that will help the Green Bay Packers avoid the controversy that arose when the team qualified for the playoffs late in the 2013-2014 season.
Owners meeting in Orlando, Fla., decided fans should be charged for playoff tickets only after their team makes the postseason and is assigned a home game.
“Basically, what the league approved for all teams was what we were going to move to, which is the ‘pay as we play’ policy,” said Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy, who is attending the meeting. “We were very supportive of it. I think it’s something that’s going to be very good for the league.”
Murphy said all teams voted for the new policy.
