The Washington Commanders reached a settlement with the D.C. attorney general’s office and agreed to pay $625,000 related to the team’s failure to return refundable security deposits to season ticket holders.
“Rather than being transparent and upfront in their ticket sale practices, the Commanders unlawfully took advantage of their fan base, holding on to security deposits instead of returning them,” D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb said in a statement. “Under this settlement agreement, our office will maintain strict oversight over the Commanders to ensure all necessary steps are taken to reimburse fans for the refunds they are entitled to.
The D.C. office was one of several authoritative bodies to open a probe related to the investigation. In November, the Commanders reached a settlement with the Maryland attorney general’s office in which they agreed to refund deposits and pay a $250,000 penalty. That agreement came days after that Racine filed his second civil suit against the franchise.
