Trumped-up sellout streak comes with a tax bill for Titans

How have the Titans been able to keep selling out games despite becoming decreasingly relevant in recent years? As NewsChannel 5 in Nashville reported last month, the Titans cut a deal with a ticket broker for free and discounted tickets in order to clear out the inventory.

But there’s a catch. A $3 per ticket catch. As explained by the Tennessean, the Titans are supposed to collect a user fee for each ticket sold, and then to surrender that money to the Metro Sports Authority.

They didn’t. But Titans interim CEO/president Steve Underwood said the tax bill will be paid within a month, and that the team is “desperately sorry” for the mistake.
