Getting Eagles tickets
Josh Barnett
The day the NFL schedule is announced has become almost like a national holiday. Within minutes of the unveiling, Eagles fans are scratching down their W's and L's to see what they expect the Birds' record will be.
The second quasi-national holiday is when Eagles single-game tickets go on sale. That comes Thursday at 10 a.m.
They usually are all gone within minutes, except for the lucky few who manage to snag them.
Tell us your stories of finally getting those elusive tickets, or of the many ways you have tried in the past only to come up short.
And if you have been one of those lucky few, or want to be, give us a hint as to what your strategy will be?
Don't worry, we won't tell ...
Lucky is right. Something needs to be done about this. Websites flood ticketmaster with their only objective being to buy the tickets and re-sell them at astronomical costs. it's absolutely unacceptable that i've tried to get tickets on the day they go on sale every single year and havent ever gotten a seat. i've only sat in a seat in the Linc one time, a preseason game the year the place opened. Every other time it's been standing room. and then even at that, i could only get one game each year. i've sat in front of the computer, refreshing it every 10 seconds from 9:45 AM to 10:30 AM, with a phone in hand that has the ticketmaster number already entered, with yellowpages.com open with every ticketmaster in the US listed, and still cant get a seat. so i wait for standing room tickets to go on sale and go through the same thing, only to hear at 10:05 AM that only 3 games are still available.— mikeb- go on yahoo and search "2008 philadelphia eagles tickets" and see how many tickets are already on sale for over $100 each. look at how many different websites come up. and it's not just eagles fans that are selling tickets because they dont want them anymore, or cant go to certain games because no website (stubhub, ebay) will allow a pennsylvania resident to sell a ticket bought in pennsylvania for more than 10% above face value. new england actually tried to do something about this last year and werent backed by anyone. tickets now even mention stubhub on the back of them. how many tickets do you think go unre-sold because their price for standing room only is $150?— mikeb
