Why were Superbowl fans denied seats, then meager compensation (see details)

Asked by kelly (1918points) February 7th, 2011

About 500 fans with valid tickets were denied access to stadium because the temporary seats they were sold had not been constructed. They were not notified ahead of time, only when they went through the ticket gates. They were herded aside, outside the stadium and had to wait for reason. Reportedly no alternate provisions were made by the NFL, Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones (owner of stadium) or either team; such as standing room, or sidelines area. These fans were kept out and reportedly only were offered 3 times the face value of the ticket. Then would have to sign waiver not to sue if they accepted this deal. No reimbursement of hotel,food or travel. Due they have recourse?
