CLEVELAND (AP) – A marketing agent with ties to the New Orleans Saints has pleaded guilty to conspiring to scalp Super Bowl tickets.
Mike Ornstein faces sentencing Jan. 24 in Cleveland federal court. He also pleaded guilty in June to selling jerseys with the false claim that NFL players had worn them in games.
He admitted buying Super Bowl tickets for more than their face value from people who purchased them at face value from their employers. He then resold the tickets for a profit.
Ornstein is a former marketing agent for Reggie Bush and a frequent presence at Saints practices and games.
Sports Business Journal first reported the guilty plea.
A message seeking comment was left Tuesday at the Cleveland office of Ornstein’s attorney, Angelo Lonardo.
