The limitation was only to tickets being sold directly by the Broncos. Anybody can buy tickets on the secondary market at Ticketmaster or any number of other places. As of Tuesday afternoon, the only remaining tickets available on Ticketmaster that didn't show as resale were in the 300 level and started at $1,240 per seat. Verified resale tickets in the 500s started right about $500 per seat and the lowest single-ticket price on StubHub started at $577. Want more Broncos news?
