The San Francisco 49ers have announced that the team has sold out its season-ticket allocation for its opening season at the new Levi's Stadium.

Although there were fears that the move would price out the fans, around 70% of those who had season tickets in Candlestick Park will have them at the new stadium.

"I think that price shocked some people, but our research showed that people would rather pay more up front and have a lower annual ticket cost," 49ers chief operating officer Al Guido said, ESPN reports.

The 49ers will be the first in the league to offer in-seat delivery to every fan with the use of mobile technology and GPS tracking to locate fans and deliver their orders.
