The Rams will promote Tremendous Bowl tickets to followers who paid greater than $100,000 in Sofi Stadium seat license charges and can maintain a lottery for all different season-ticket holders — however, the Rams warn on their web site, “Tickets bought by way of the Los Angeles Rams will not be eligible for resale.”
