The Atlanta Falcons have had $42.9 million in defaults on their personal seat licenses since 2016.

During the 12-month period through June, fans walked away from another $10.9 million in PSLs.

The PSLs are fees, often paid in installments over multiple years, for the right to buy Falcons season tickets in a particular seat for as long as the team plays in the stadium.

Most of the defaults through June 30th occurred in January and February before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Of those who provided the team a reason for defaulting, 77% cited financial, health or relocation issues.

About 7,000 Falcons season-ticket account holders have defaulted on their seat licenses since 2016, records show.

Seat-license proceeds go toward the cost of building the $1.5 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
