Magic Johnson first to put deposit on Rams tickets

Los Angeles Rams owner Stan Kroenke is borrowing roughly $1 billion from JPMorgan Chase & Co.to finance his planned stadium project in Inglewood scheduled for a 2019 opening, according to SportsBusiness Daily.

If you’re hankering for a Los Angeles Rams season ticket, you’ll want to act quickly. Within about 45 minutes, more than 8,000 had been sold.

“Members on the waiting list will be able to purchase tickets before the general public based on when the deposit was received”, the news release read.

Fans who purchase season tickets now will also have the first opportunity to buy Personal Seat Licenses in the Inglewood stadium when those go on sale, which is expected to happen sometime in 2017.

The Rams finished 7-9 under coach Jeff Fisher, third in the NFC West and had a troubled attendance history in St. Louis, where a team that once produced the Super Bowl winning “Greatest Show on Turf” later struggled through a series of losing seasons.

“There’s just been a ton of passion for, you know, the NFL’s return, the Rams’ return to Los Angeles, so we’re thrilled with that”, Bye said.

“The ticket prices starting off this year will be very comparable to what we had in St. Louis”, Demoff said.

“I got my @RamsNFL season tickets!” The Rams played in Southern California for 49 seasons before owner Georgia Frontiere moved them after the 1994 campaign.

While the Rams’ lavish domed stadium is built, the Rams will play their home games at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

Rams President Kevin Demoff confirmed Kroenke is borrowing from the bank but declined to comment on the amount.
