Broncos Not Selling Tickets To New England-Based Fans For AFC Title Game

The New England Patriots will be traveling to Denver to take on the Broncos in the AFC Championship Game this weekend. But their fans might not be traveling with them.According to the team's website, the Denver Broncos are limiting sales of tickets to the AFC Championship Game only to fans with billing addresses in the Rocky Mountain region. This includes the states of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Montana, South Dakota and Western Kansas.

"It’s our normal procedure for playoff games," Patrick Smythe, the Broncos' executive director for media relations told Boston.com.

The Seattle Seahawks, who are hosting the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday, have implemented a similar policy, but that one has caused a bit more controversy as it excludes fans from California from buying tickets to the game.
