After the 49ers came back from a 17-point deficit at halftime and a seven-point deficit with under 2:00 minutes remaining to force overtime, defeat the Rams, and make the 2021 postseason in a thrilling Week 18 matchup, much talk was made about how it felt more like a road game for the Rams than one taking place at SoFi. Were there more Niners fans there than Rams fans?

Trying to keep tickets to people who live in Los Angeles has made the news a lot this week, leading up to Sunday’s NFC Championship between the Rams and 49ers, and that may also be what’s driving the re-sale market crazy.
