At 10:40, the Eagles confirmed: Sorry, fans, all the regular season games are gone.
Except for standing-room tickets to be sold at a date to be named later.
Judging from our own attempts this morning, untold fans were very frustrated.
Starting at 9:57, calls to Ticketmaster numbers in New Mexico, Kentucky, New York and Kansas were met with only busy signals.
Online we got a little luckier - though the first four attempts yielded only this maddening message: "We could not process your ticket request."
Shot down for 4 tickets, we tried for 2 - at 10:05.
We were told the wait would take 5 minutes.
Things were not looking good, sports fans, since supposedly, the regular-season is gobbled up in about 10 minutes.
Again: "We could not process your ticket request."
Happened for both the Steelers and Cardinals game.
Even the stinkin' Cardinals game - Thanksgiving night.
It's 10:10, time to think about abandoning ship.
Ah, what the heck. Try for 1 ticket.
Got it ... at 10:15!
Now if only we can get 1 more ...
Wait, success! At 10:22.
$77.70 each, including service charges.
Same time, on another screen, the other pending request, for 1 Steelers ticket, got denied.
One last hope: Perhaps these tickets are near each other?
Nope. One nose-bleeder's in the end zone (section 213), the other's at midfield (203).
Now I have to figure out what to do with these turkeys.
