Rams agree to settle lawsuit over St. Louis seat licenses

The Rams have agreed to settle three class-action lawsuits by fans who purchased personal seat licenses during the franchise’s two decades in Missouri, according to a filing Monday in U.S. District Court in St. Louis.

The brief status report on the three lawsuits, later consolidated into one case, said the parties are in the process of gathering signatures for the settlement agreement and expect to file a motion for preliminary approval by Dec. 17.

No details of the settlement were provided.

The litigation revolves around about 46,000 personal seat licenses to buy season tickets in St. Louis first sold by FANS, Inc., the ticketing agent for the Rams, and later by the franchise. The original PSLs for games at the Edward Jones Dome ran through the end of the 2024 season, though the agreement said it could be terminated at any time.

The three lawsuits were filed in the weeks after NFL owners voted in January 2016 to approve the Rams returning to Los Angeles.

The plaintiffs sought the right to purchase tickets to Rams games in L.A., refunds for the unused portion of PSLs and damages.

The consolidated case has been stayed since May, allowing the parties to participate in two mediation sessions and negotiate the settlement.

A Rams spokeswoman didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

If there’s no way he loses in court, then why did Stan settle?

The man has no fear of litigation and letting a suit go on for years.

I don't know bro in my opinion that should not even be a clause in business, unless the clause also contains monies being refunded. To me it is only the right way to do business. Doing business with a buyer beware clause is not having integrity in my opinion.

[sloramfan]

wait a minute...

so your saying that clause should not be in any business agreement.. yet it was...

and loser says there is no way stan settles if he knows he has a case...

being a general contractor, if i put something like that in a contract, i'm probably pretty confident in a litigation outcome...

why did stan settle.. who knows.. maybe he's not the bad guy, or ruthless business man STL likes to jacket him with... or maybe it's that the publicity outweighs the payoff, and that's exactly what i think...
fuck the STL lawers, and short circuit the circus they are trying to create, along with ending the moneyflow those lawers certainly want to keep coming in...

go stan kroenke... keep winning... lol

I’m looking forward to my $2.23 refund after the lawyers are done taking their “share”.

My only guess is the NFL told Stan to let this one slide for the common good of the other billionaires. Because if he fought it tooth and nail, then the next team that has to sell PSLs for a new stadium has to fight against that stigma. PSLs have been a cash cow for the NFL and they don’t want it messed with.

yeah i don't mean to be so mean to you and your city stloserfan, sometimes i just get myself all riled up for nothing...

my apologies.. you guys definately know the excuciating pain we angelenos went thru...

we love stan, like you guys loved GF.. and we hated georgia, just like you guys now despise stan..

man, and i speak for all ramfans.. we know your pain, and get no good from it...

i may chuckle at some of your vitriol, but i know why it's there... i think a lot of us here understand, more than we may let on..

I am saying the Rams where fully aware of their intentions and they still sold a product to the fans with a full intention of leaving them holding the bag. They should have at the very least dealt with more ethics and integrity and made it clear that they had no intention at the least to take hard working folks monies and use it to fund their exit.

The fighting between city officials the government cast and Stan I could care less about, but to take the 9-5 guys cash with no intention of returning it. Under the auspices of half hearted made promises that maybe we will end up staying here.

I think that a lawsuit between the consumer and the company ownership should have never been a thing. I think that business should have had more ethics and shown a clear decision that they had no intention at anytime to sticking it to the clock puncher and taking any monies out of his paycheck.

They took monies from folks who work for a living and have to provide for families. I think it should be returned since no good or service was exchanged. I believe it is the right thing to do and is the only ethical and the way to do business with integrity.

So I just don't feel so nonchalant or apathetic on this point as I often do on other points. I just don't like seeing real people get burned especially when the other side the money means less to them than the folks who have mouths to feed.

i never meant to lean towards it being ok to take the hard earned money of the working class..

i just know if i'm laying down several thousand dollars for anything, i'm reading through the whole contract...

and to say that we were taken, is completely disingenuous.. and saying stl are a bunch of know nothing boobs... that's preposterous...

honestly, i think georgia may have known the circumstances... don't forget, she was there when the original PSL's were drawn up...
