The state of California (specifically, the Los Angeles area) will be the scene not only of the Super Bowl LVI, also from the final of the conference between neighbors. The San Francisco 49ers will visit the Los Angeles Rams for a ticket to the biggest game of the year.
It is a civil war, but without the theme of war. Well, since the first moment the Rams knew they were going to the conference finale, made things extremely difficult for 49ers fans when searching for a ticket to SoFi Stadium.

Well, with the proximity of the San Francisco fans, the Rams came up with the idea of applying the same as the Titans in the divisional round and limit ticket sales to 49ers fans. Initially selling Los Angeles area tickets only.
Fear does not walk on donkeys, the saying goes and for the Rams this decision is more than justified and it is that in week 18 of the NFL, these two teams met at SoFi Stadium and the 49ers fans invaded the home of the Carneros and they were even the majority.
The truth is that it was a bit logical, In California, the team with the longest tradition is the 49ers and they have much more fans than the Rams.. The Rams were in that same city (Los Angeles) a few decades ago, then moved to St. Louis (not Mexico) and returned to Los Angeles. The 49ers understandably have a larger fan base.

Resale the main problem for the Rams against 49ers
Before worrying about Deebo Samuel, Elijah Mittchel or George Kittle; the entire Rams leadership will have to worry about ticket scalping. With tickets available only for Los Angeles and not San Francisco, it will be a sweet deal for people reselling tickets.
Unlike the Titans against the Bengals, who took it upon themselves to make it difficult for Cincinnati fans to get even one resale ticket, lhe Rams didn’t think about that and let’s hope they don’t backfire and we see SoFi Stadium full of 49ers fans.
The game is Sunday, January 30 at 5:30 p.m., time from central Mexico and it will be a real match between teams that already know what it is like to reach the Super Bowl, although without so much success in recent years. The Rams lost to the Patriots in the LIII edition and the 49ers lost to the Chiefs in the LIV. Let’s see if anyone can change that negative situation.
