The Virginia attorney general announced that the state reached a settlement with the Washington Commanders over alleged unreturned season ticket deposits.
The state attorney general’s office opened an investigation in 2022 into the team’s alleged failure to return security deposits for season ticket holders since at least 1997, under the ownership of Dan Snyder. Miyares announced that the team, which was sold to an ownership group led by Josh Harris last year, has reached an agreement to settle the deposits that were never returned to former
“Our investigation found that the Commanders’ prior ownership unlawfully retained security deposits for years after they should have been returned to consumers. I thank the team’s current ownership for cooperating with this investigation, and for working towards rectifying the consumer harm we identified,” Miyares added.
The team has returned more than $600,000 in deposits to 475 season ticket holders and agreed to pay $700,000 in penalties and other costs to resolve the matter, according to the Virginia Attorney General’s Office.
