Supreme Court of New Jersey
Josh Finkelman v. National Football League Nfl Ventures, L.p. Nfl…
January 9, 2019236 N.J. 280
Summary
The New Jersey Supreme Court answered two certified questions concerning the scope of N.J.S.A. 56:8-35.1, holding that the term “person” includes entities beyond ticket brokers, that tickets sold to lottery winners constitute a “release for sale to the general public,” and that the NFL’s allocation of the remaining tickets does not amount to unlawful withholding. The Court therefore affirmed that the plaintiff’s claim under the Ticket Law fails.
