NEW ORLEANS -- The New Orleans Pelicans say they've voided around 2,500 playoff tickets that were purchased improperly during a presale event for the second round of the NBA playoffs. The club says the event was designed exclusively for season-ticket holders, but that codes provided for online purchases were shared with people who were not eligible for the promotion. The Pelicans say they have not previously had a problem with the improper sharing of promotional codes for ticket sales, but that an "unprecedented demand for playoff tickets resulted in tickets being purchased by non-season ticket or partial season ticket holders." The club says it conducted a review of the presale and voided all purchases from unqualified buyers. The Pelicans say they have sought to notify those whose tickets have been voided, as well as businesses that sell Pelicans tickets on the secondary market.
