A group of Brooklyn Nets season ticket holders claims the team wrongfully took their pricey seats away because they were hawking their unused tickets on the secondary market, according to a pair of lawsuits filed Monday.
Brooklyn man Simon Yedid, who claims he’s dropped $225,000 on season tickets since becoming a member in 2012, alleges in his in Brooklyn Supreme Court suit that state law gives him a right to resell his tickets when he’s not using them.
A group called Smiles 4 Kids Entertainment filed a second, similar suit Monday.
Both parties allege that the Nets are making illegal moves to block competition against its ticket resale partner, Dynasty Sports and Entertainment.
