After the Faithful made an impact on Week 18’s needed win, the Rams’ attempt to keep 49ers fans out is no more.
The Rams pulled out a dramatic win over the Bucs, giving up all of a 27-3 lead before a 44-yard pass from Matthew Stafford to Cooper Kupp set up Matt Gay’s 30-yard walk-off field goal, setting them up to host the game and turning those pre-sale holds into actual tickets.
It appears that the Rams sold all the tickets for the game, removing the need for the restriction on seats. All available seats on any ticketing website, including Ticketmaster, are considered secondary — buying them from the person who bought them from the team. There have never been any restrictions on who can purchase those seats, meaning the 49ers Faithful could always still get in the game — and makes it an odd look for the Rams.
After seeing just how many 49ers fans showed up for their team in Week 18’s win-or-go-home regular-season finale, it’s hard to blame the Rams. Los Angeles coach Sean McVay said the noise supporting the 49ers “caught us off guard” and Stafford said it was “a tough environment for us to communicate in really the whole second half,” something his wife Kelly echoed on her podcast.
