49ers’ season-ticket holder drops lawsuit over sale restrictions

A 49ers season-ticket holder who sued the team last year over its new restrictions on ticket resales quietly has dropped his suit, without saying why.

Amir Kazemzadeh of Santa Clara filed the proposed multimillion-dollar class-action suit in federal court in August against the 49ers and Ticketmaster, the nation’s largest entertainment-ticketing company.

After the 49ers and Ticketmaster sought dismissal of the suit, requests that a federal magistrate was scheduled to hear in March, Kazemzadeh dismissed it voluntarily Jan. 11, according to a court filing by his lawyers.

The suit challenged the team’s policy, instituted for this season, of prohibiting ticket resales until 72 hours before game time unless the tickets were sold by the official NFL Ticket Exchange run by Ticketmaster.
