The man who supports the $ 2.5 million loss from Michigan football Ticket Reset Resol

Ann ARBOR, MI – a football ticket holder in Michigan and a distributor who holds changes in the program ticket policy will cost him at least $ 2.5 million in lost revenues and refused requests in the state court.

Kevin Brick and his ticket for tickets from North Carolina, Maxim Tickets, Inc., sued the University for the Company’s deception and deception in the donation of millions of euros and to suddenly change the policy without notice, according to a complaint on February 28 filed to the Court of Appeal in Michigan.

The process claims that the University has violated the Law on Freedom of Information in Michigan and the common law in Michigan.

Original federal process Lossed in August he was rejected in December, citing that requests against a state cannot be made in the federal court. University is a state agency.

This process also claimed violations of the Law on Consumer Protection of Michigan through “unjust, unconscious and misleading business practices”, which was not absent from the newly filed complaint.

Without a warning at the beginning of 2024, said Brick, the athletics department forbade people to buy tickets only to resell them and blocked it from its tickets. Ever since he bought hundreds of tickets for 21 years, Brick claims that this policy change has cheated on spending millions of dollars, without the possibility of making the money back.

He estimates that his company will lose income from 2.5 million to $ 3.5 million a year due to this change, says the process.

“Despite the long -term policy of allowing the resale and transfer of tickets from the football season, it has unilaterally changed the terms and conditions without () our consent or knowledge in (and) around 2023,” says the process.

The policy of the department of athletics The tickets are that they cannot be purchased for the main purpose of the resale and can be canceled at the discretion of the department. This policy was not mentioned in an email sent to the seasonal ticket holders, the brick was attached to the process, as it allowed the tickets on third platforms, such as Stubhub.

However, the current policy says that seasonal ticket holders can have more than eight total tickets for both the regular and post-season game.

“Seasonal ticket holders who try to circumvent the ticket limits set by creating numerous accounts can have their canceled tickets at the discretion of athletics in Michigan,” says the policy.

Brick claims that politics has changed without warning for ticket holders like himself. Maximum tickets have bought over 1,000 tickets in the last two decades and, since February 2024, have had 164 active ticket accounts for Michigan football, the process says.

At this moment, understanding his ticket policy would be guaranteed year by year, have been freely transferred for a profit through stubhub and other web sites and that payment for tickets and donations to the department would lead to several priority points for additional advantages, it is shown in the process.

However, Brick was informed in January 2024 in an E -mail of the athletics department that his accounts were connected at the ticket intermediate and that they were to be blocked, says the process. The department actually hid the brick policy until he discovered that he had violated it, according to the process.

The brick and Maxim tickets also accuse the University of violating the law on the freedom of state information by withholding internal documents on ticket policy and communications to current or potential ticket holders.

Brick and Maxim tickets require damages of $ 2 million, the process says.

The University’s athletics department did not respond immediately to a comment request.

The spokesman of athletics, David Ablauf, previously said that the University and his department of athletics do not comment on the specific details of the pending disputes. The officials did not specify when the resale policy came into force.
