Ticketmaster Halts NFL London Ticket Sales Amid Surge, Bot Issues

Ticketmaster temporarily paused ticket sales for the 2025 NFL London games due to an overwhelming surge in demand, exacerbated by bots and scalpers attempting to buy large quantities of tickets for resale. The NFL and Ticketmaster assured fans that their positions in the queue remain secure and that tickets are still available. Three games are scheduled in London at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Wembley Stadium, featuring matchups between the Vikings and Browns, Broncos and Jets, and Rams and Jaguars. Nearly 250,000 people were reportedly trying to purchase tickets when sales were paused, leading to long wait times and frustration among genuine fans. The league is working with tech teams to identify and block bad actors to ensure fair access for real fans. While the secondary market prices have already escalated, no specific timeline has been provided for when ticket sales will resume.
