The NFL had approximately 40 percent of their season ticket holders request a refund, according to league sources.

The figure is considered a victory as most teams tried to encourage fans to leave money in their accounts through incentives such as priority access to playoff tickets and food-and-beverage discounts.

"If you project this out across the entire season-ticket member base, we estimate that only approximately 30% ... requested their money back,” said a source. “Or looked at the other way, 70% chose to leave money on account for either a ticket purchase this year or for season tickets next year (2021). We see that as very positive.”
