The Minnesota Vikings reportedly took a unique approach to get more of their supporters into Ford Field for Sunday night's massive game against the Detroit Lions.
According to SI.com's Albert Breer, the Vikings utilized the secondary market to purchase about 1,900 tickets for the road game as an organization. The tickets averaged about $1,000 apiece, bringing the total cost to nearly $2 million.
The Vikings reportedly then sent an email to season-ticket holders, offering them the opportunity to buy the tickets for far less than the organization paid for them, including some for as low as $200 per ticket.
