Well its that time of year again. Time to start bitching about how many tickets are listed on broker sites already and most of them at twice face value.
Any bets on how fast they;ll sell out this year?
Seriously (not to ride last years huge thread) but this shteins got to stop!
Gold Standard I guess
this is not going to end well
im still waiting for the eagles to contact me about my spot on the season ticket list. It should be long.
I work with a die hard taterskins fan and she says that they will actually tell you your place in line if you call them... like supposedly down to the year they suspect you'll get notified.

I put my name on the Skins list when I moved down here about 8 years ago, just for shteins and giggles, and I did get a call about two years ago that I was eligible for them.
this is my favorite thread every year, i can't wait for tt laboof to show up.
yeah... that was one reason I wanted to start it again. That guy is hilarious.
every year i get more and more irritated with the system though. The amount of "tickets" floating around the web right now is ridiculous

yeah the skins waiting list is all propaganda...my girls dad got tickets about five years ago and wasnt even on the list...he just called up and got them...he also has had the opportunity to move up every year hes had them
what an honor it must have been to join the taterskins football family.
my girls a denver fan but thanks
is anyone here even going to attempt the website this year?
I know I am not
yAAHH! Three more days until I can be placed on the limitless busy line that is ticketmaster, and then subsequently throw things across the office.

someone forwarded me the email that the eagles sent out regarding the sale of the tix and they actually mention in the email about calling non philly ticketmaster numbers to give yourself a better chance
IGY was it you or Phatty who swore by that last year, saying that actually did work?
Last year I thought I'd see if the standing room deal was the same way, but i actually did get through there and went to the seahawks game

I apparently cant read... i thought you said the email said NOT to call out of state cuz it didnt help. I talked to a guy yesterday who swore that doesnt help because all the tickets run through the same server. He said the server is what gets jammed
yeah but the point is that you can at least get thru on the phone at the other numbers...if the server fargs up it doesnt matter where youre calling from...but if you can get to an operator before tickets run out then you should be good to go...the philly TM numbers are non stop busy signals
and for the record ive never done it as i dont even try for the tickets but matty swears by it
yeah i thought it was him.
i have done it for concerts tho...and it has worked before

No skin off their nose. They want to be able to brag about selling out in record time.
if anyone gets through, get me games while your at it. 2 would be great to whatever is available, minus anything from december 19th thru the first of the year.
Anyone get tickets? I wasn't near a computer so I couldn't even make an attempt. The absurdity level raises every year, as my buddy tells me he tried but failed miserably and that they were sold out in 12 minutes.
If anyone has an extra pair for the first 3 games (Rams, Steelers, Skins) and wants to sell them I'm interested. And I don't mind paying a little extra.
didnt even have a chance
Was that today? Oh, well.
I got yelled at for not calling in. I'm so ashamed.
still super busy i see.
typing some sentences on CF = banging away on the phone for an hour
they sell out in less than 10 minutes. every year since about 2002.

what a win for you that would've been, Matty would've paid for his half up front, and then when he passes out in the lot before each game you could've sold the ticket again to someone else...so close
i've passed out in the lot once, and it was in the second half of the raiders game three years ago. we can't all have such high not-drinking on gameday standards.

I'm just saying that if other people are too busy to call in and get tickets for themselves, or if they just want me to do some additional legwork and buy tickets for them, I can drop what I'm doing and call. Tonight. At 6:15.
i got tickets, but they're all reserved now so i can't offer them to any friends.
oh burn
Hi guys--it's been a while since I dropped by. I have an offer from a season ticket holder on another site to buy his two tickets to the Rams game, which I'll do. However, my wife wanted to surprise me, so she got on the net and the phone at exactly 9.55 ET, which was 2.55pm over here in England. The phone line was of course busy, so on the net, the prompt told her right at 10am that she had a less than 1 minute wait--then it changed to less than 5 minutes wait. She gave up on that, but when I came in to work tonight, I went on ticketmaster, and lo and behold, there was a ticket for sale for the Rams game--Sec 216, Row 21, Seat 17, which is the corner of the endzone. There's another guy going over for the Rams game from here in England, so he's going to meet me at the will call gate and I'll sell it to him for face value. I just can't understand how at 1015 ET there can be no tickets, but at 3.15ET there is one.
maybe there just weren't any for you.

Since the Linc opened, the Eagles have been cancelling the account of serious rule breakers. Instead of them calling people at the top of the waiting list, they keep those seats and sell the tickets with their Tailgate package. It's another way they make money.
The waiting list is probably about 75,000. Last year they called less than 15 people to be an Upper Level, non-SBL account holder. At that rate, 4000 years is not an exaggeration.
that is awesome. Hungry Hungry Hippos

That is not surprising. Still, I cannot hate on them for trying to maximize profit. I don't see any of you season ticket holders selling off your seats in disgust, so they're clearly doing just enough to keep you in.
what are talking about it has nothing to do with current season tickets holders
it has to do with people like sb on the waiting list getting farged over because the team is run by greedy sons of bitches
and its just shocking that you would take the side of maximum profits for a business over fairness to the people who support the team both in public financing of their stadium and in merchandise/ticket sales
and joe banner is still trying to figure out why the city hates him
I've been on the waiting list for a long time.
However, this is Economics 101. Supply and demand. If they continue to have a product that can sell at insane profit, why would they accept less profit just to be "nice" to people like me that would love the chance to actually buy a normal package of season tickets? It doesn't make any sense.
Until they stop putting asses in the seats, how can you possibly justify asking them to behave any differently?

so basically as long as they
can farg the fans they should...or at least shouldnt be questioned on it?
they started a highly (self) publicized waiting list for fans to join in order to get tickets...and then when tickets become available they instead keep them for themselves and sell them to a small segment of fans that can afford a tailgate package and who may not even be on said wait list...
and your answer to that is supply and demand?
dont you think supply/demand and fairness to your fans can co exist?
or is "maximizing profits" the way they should go
I'm just asking you to explain to me why they should behave any differently if people continue to pay their season ticket bills religiously and every game is sold out at the highest possible price.
Basically, your whole argument is that they should strive to be "nice" or "fair." Much like the on-the-field game of football, the business of football doesn't work that way. You should know, being a season ticket holder of the Eagles but living in skins territory, but instead you choose to bitch and moan about their tactics.
Again, until they have trouble maximizing their profit with these tailgate packages and ticket broker deals, what is their actual motivation to behaving any differently?

I am not exonerating the eagles in any of this...but this is just the way of the NFL.
Look at the $20,000 psl's in dallas. And in the meadowlands, both Giants and Jets fans have to pay the same PSLs...in every seat in the stadium i believe.
It's not going to change until the NFL collapses in on itself, and is forced to bring down prices and salaries...fans will eventually lose interest.
The eagles HAVE to maximize their profits because everyone else is too. They, as a business, need to make money. They more they have to pay their players, the more money they will have to make to pay those players and continue to make a profit. Jerseys were $45 10 years go.
The nfl gets their money from the fans, and as the nfl...the eagles...opperating expenses rise, they will need to go to their well to get more of it.
As long as the general fan base, or the corporate fan base continues to pay the prices, the nfl will continue to push the envelope on what it costs to go to the games.
I've been on the waiting list since the end of the 2001 season. I don't expect to ever be called for them.
ff i understand is a big business minion and wing youre a pro front office zealout but even you guys cant be on that side of the fence this time...no matter how hard you try there is no justification or defense for this
this isnt about prices...its about fairness
if the eagles next year raised all seat prices by $500 each i would be infuriated but it would at least be up front and on the level...you either pay it or you dont...but what they are doing to the fans on the "waiting list" is just plain wrong
if you are not going to make tickets that become avaliable to your waiting list then dont start a waiting list and let the general public know that tickets that come free will not be offered to you at their face value but will instead be taken by the team and repriced in a tailgating package
the eagles shouldnt change in mid game and be like oops sorry everyone we know there are corporations and law firms out there that are willing to pay triple the amount for these seats so guess youre sol
not that it would make it any less wrong but what other teams are doing this?
also do you really think it makes the eagles more competitive in the market place by selling a few tailgating packages for 300 instead of selling the seats to a fan on the waiting list for 80...if they need money that badly then they shouldnt own a team

There is a difference between agreeing with it, and understanding why they do it. You don't have to feel both sides of it.

Why bother having a waiting list if the team has no intentions of ever actually contacting anyone from that list. If they want to take available season tickets and sell them as part of the tailgating package, fine. Annoying as it may be, I can't hate on them for wanting to maximize profits. But quit dangling carrots in front of the fans by having this list that goes no where.

2 seats @ $65 @ 10 games = $1300
2 seats @ $150 @ 8 games = $2400
If they have say...1000 of those seats .... then your looking at $650,000 for normal season tickets vs $1.2M for the tailgate packages.
I think the government should intervene to stop the owners from turning maximum profit. We could make NFL Football a subsidiary of the U.S. Military and re-institute the selective service to force players to play at more reasonable salaries*. Additionally, broadcast rights agreements would be thrown out, and anyone and everyone could watch or listen to the game without making any profit off of it.
*An added bonus of this is that they could then contribute to a Roth IRA!

Right.
Again...I don't disagree with any of this.
But until the current consumer behavior changes, as in...they stop paying...the eagles, or the nfl, have no reason to change their tactics.
They could behead fans at half time, and as long as the stadium is sold out with people who paid $150 per ticket...and $20 to park are filling the seats...they will continue to do so.

jesus thank you...its not rocket science
but i do disagree that taking a few dozen tickets and getting 200-300 a game for them instead of 100 is not really a profits issue...to me raising ticket prices on 70 thousand seats would fall into that category...the sickening thing about this is the tailgate packages rarely sellout
if they really wanted to maximize profits they should change their colors back to kelly green or green and silver

why dont the tailgate packages sell out then?
and for the last time this isnt a supply/demand issue...if it was all upper level seats would be 150+ dollars each...its not even a money issue because there are tons of ways the eagles could make infintely more money off the fans than the peanuts they are making off this okie doke they are pulling with tickets becoming available

I'm still waiting to find out where i am on the list. It shouldnt be long now, the email i got in 2005 said in a few weeks
This is America. We don't even know what the definition of the word "is" is. We're a long farging way away from defining the word "few" properly. In fact, that's probably a prerequisite to our notification from the ticket office, hence the delay.

Your punctuation is making me irate.
Thinking they should be "fair" and "nice" is the funniest thing I have heard in a long time.
It's not the job of a corporation - a privately owned corporation who has no one to answer to other than the league - to be nice. Leave that to the non-profits, charities, and hippies. The job of a corporation is to make as much money as possible.
The waiting list is a scam - if the numbers are correct that 15 people were moved into season tickets last year, that's awful from a fan point of view. BUT, the eagles made good on a promise to provide tickets to the waiting list, as incredibly small as it was. It's not supply and demand - IGY is actually right about that, but it is about mo' money, mo' money, mo' money, and to think otherwise is naive and illogical.

I'm not shocked or surprised at anything they are doing - it is all about the money. The one point I question their ethics on is the fact that they claim to have a waiting list in the first place. They put up that registration page for exactly one reason: to collect marketing contacts. If there isn't a law against collecting personal information under false pretenses, there should be.

They haven't lied - did they at anytime say that ALL unpurchased season tickets would be given to fans on the waiting list? Did they somehow promise tickets to fans on the waiting list, but not deliver? What they are doing, from a fan's point of view, is terrible. But, they fulfilled the promise to make tickets available to the waiting list, and they are lining their pockets.
I don't know why it's so hard for you to believe that the FO isn't in business to be nice and fair to people, who quite honestly, may put at least a portion of their tickets on StubHub or eBay anyway.

when the waiting list was "created" they did say that whenever non club seats become available they will distribute them in order to the people on the list
since then they have not provided anyone with a number
have not even given evidence that a list exists
have not given all available tickets to fans
how do we even know the 15 people who supposedly got tickets are even on the "list"
again this isnt not being nice its completely deceiving the customer
youre not seeing the difference btwn making money and lying to the customer
if a car dealership put you on a list to get the latest greatest 2009 version of a $200,000 car you wouldnt complain at its cost...but if that dealership later on realized the demand for the car was higher than they realized and decided to take you off the list or keep the car to themselves because they found out they could sell it to someone else for 500,000 youd be pissed and be all over them...but because its the eagles they get a pass and it just business
i suspect that the people that dont care about this or somehow try and dfend the eagles fall into one of four categories
1. dont want tickets
2. dont really care if they ever get tickets
3. believe they will never get tickets regardless of the system
4. front office sheep
it all comes down to if the team isnt directly farging me then who cares its all fair in love and business
You are so far from correct about this.
Without seeing the original press release, I can be 99% sure they never said that all tickets would be distributed to a list. A lawyer would never allow them to make a statement that is almost impossible to follow through on. By that language, they couldn't even give Rocky his free tickets.
But, because you are the voice of the people in everything that must be fair and balanced (wow, the irony), you are above seeing the other side. I've already offered that from a fan perspective it sucks, but it's business. They have provided tickets -- your original post even said as much. Far fewer tickets than anyone would be satisfied with, but they did it. Which means they are providing tickets to people on the waiting list.
They didn't lie. They used business practices that allow them to maintain a list and not go back on that, and maximize their revenue.

You are incapable of understanding that because someone understands the team wants to make money is somehow against the fans getting more tickets. The world isn't black and white, IGY, even though your split personality is. I don't like the decision, but I understand it. Something you seem to be missing.
So let me get this straight:
1. IGY already has season tickets.
2. FF lives in North Carolina.
3. Demon lives in Missouri or some shtein.
This impacts exactly none of you and yet you feel the need to write novels about it over and over again?
WHO F'ING CARES?
I am on the list and would purchase tickets if given the opportunity.
Let me reiterate. No one cares.

I want tickets badly.
Then I can sell them on eBay.
riiiiiight deomn because your beloved team would never lie would they?
you can defend them to the hilt but many of the people on the "list" can tell you what they said..ask sb how many times they promised him his number
its not like people signed a contract....the eagles can go back on whatever they want...but thats screwing the customer
and i dont know why you keep going back to the fact that they are doing this to make money...everyone and their brother knows this...every business trys to make money not every business reams their customer base in the ass and is shady doing it...which is why its not a money issue its a farg the customer issue
joe banner poops more money in one day than the eagles make on a few tailgate packages...and like i said they dont even sell out these packages...but if they would form a true waiting list and issue thes tickets however few to the people on the list so that sb can see his number go from 35,117 to 35,102 it would be worth way more than the couple thousand bucks they make on the seats they take back
like i said your simply in the tank for them because you have no desire or chance to ever get tickets so you instead choose to line up with the team on this...its no different than people outside the city not caring about hoagiegate or the tailgating rules they tried to enforce...and thats cool not every issue touches every person but youd be better off just saying its a travesty and i really dont give a shtein instead of being like they did nothing wrong its just good business sense and i completely understand it

Anyone who loses sleep over such nonsense should probably be banned from life. This is just more overblown ridiculousness from you that echoes Cataldi. The difference is that he gets paid to be an overly-opinionated whiny sack of shtein.

i just will never get over he fatc that they tout a 75k waiting list but when seats become available they dont offer them all to the people on the list
i mean i have more respect for a owner like lil danni who may charge more for a beer and parking but at least is up front with the fans about how he deals with them

How'd I know this would come back to the skins eventually?
Basically, you're saying he lubes up before the surprise anal, but the Eagles just go raw?
No, he's saying that Snyder doesn't pretend like the fans are gonna like it in the can. He's knows it's gonna hurt. The fans know it's gonna hurt. And he's alright with that and is gonna stick it in no matter what.
Lurie tries to convince the fans that 'anal is the new oral and that it really isn't that bad and my last girlfriend did it and didn't mind it and I bet you'll love it because you're way better than she was'. Or whatever it is that I say to my ladyfriends to convince them to butt-hump. But really in the end, he's still sticking it in their dumper just like Snyder.
IGY, you're an idiot. I told you I don't like it, but understand 100% the why. You're self-love of all the people is just too much. And stop farging pretending to know what's in my head or anyone else's.

I don't have tickets, I am on the list and would buy them in a second, I also realize that I probably never well get them.
possible good news for some of yous...make sure you folow up on this
Fans must act to stay on Eagles season-ticket wait list
By Peter Mucha
Inquirer Staff Writer
Today, the Eagles are starting to notify legions of fans who signed up for the season-ticket waiting list:
Act soon, or you could lose your spot.
Those who do act will finally get questions answered they may have wondered for years: Where the heck am I on that list? And do I have a snowball's chance in a Saharan blast furnace of ever getting season tickets?
(Frankly, with more than 60,000 names on the list right now, the second answer is probably no.)
One lucky fan, though, will win a pair of season tickets for the coming season.
The notices will mostly go out via email, starting around noon today. Fans who didn't share an email address should find out through regular mail.
The messages warn fans to reply and reconfirm their contact information by Aug. 8 or get deleted.
Those who respond by July 18 will be eligible for that randomly selected prize of two season tickets.
Especially in jeopardy are those fans whose email or home addresses have changed. If they fail to contact the Eagles with past and current information, their names will go.
Ironically, those with the lowest numbers - folks who signed back in 2003 when the Linc first opened, or perhaps even some holdovers from Veterans Stadium - are probably the most vulnerable, since they've been on the list the longest.
Fans are advised to wait until next week to give the notifications enough time to arrive.
Then, if you think you were mistakenly missed, go to the Eagles website, www.philadelphiaeagles.com, and look for an "address research request form" to fill out and submit. (Or go directly to this link: https://oss.ticketmaster.com/html/home.htmI?l=EN&team=eagleswait.)
Fans who confirm or update their information will find out next month where they rank on the list.
The number of season-ticket seats that get surrendered each year is tiny - about a dozen to 15, Eagles officials said.
Since those on the waiting list are entitled to two seats, that number probably means fewer than 10 people graduate off the list each year, the Eagles say.
The average renewal rate: 99.7 percent.
After all, while fans can officially transfer season tickets only to immediate family members, those fans can easily resell unwanted games - even the entire season.
The seats reserved for the waiting list are upper-level seats that have no seat licenses.
Being on the list should have more than conversation value, the Eagles hope.
From time to time, for example, fans could be randomly selected to receive prizes or opportunities, like suddenly available game tickets.
The Eagles hope, by updating the process, at least some of the mystery is removed.
"This, number one, confirms there is a list. This, number two, confirms where you are on the list," said Mark Donovan, senior vice president of business operations. "The challenge for us is to make being on the list beneficial."
"We believe there will be a very high response rate," he added.
If you're not on the list, you can still sign up - for fun or for perhaps your great-great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren - at http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/gameday/SeasonTicketInformation.html.
lol, i have no emails
But i just went to the site and tried to enter my Acct # from the email i have from 2005, and it says it doesnt work..

i highly doubt anything is gonna change...but at least follow up in case it does....especially if you were one who got on it in the early days...you never know and it would suck after all this time of being shafted that this is the time they actually do what they say they are gonna do and you get left off a list
if i dont get an emai by tomorrow, i'm calling
i believe it says in the story give it till next week
that piece reads like a damn Crazy Eddy commercial.....run....hurry up....fill out that form/update your info. We have alot of shtein we want to send to you.

Funny thing is my login that worked when i updated my info 3 months ago doesnt work anymore. My boss just got an email from them. He's reading it now. I'll be farging pissed if i get dropped off the list at this point
I have two season tickets for sale.
PM me for details.
NOT.
ha.....dick
I can't even remember when I signed up. Maybe 2002 or 2003, I know I signed up on the website though. I don't use AOL anymore like I did when I signed up so I never got anything back in 2005.
But I filled out the form and faxed it to them.
I should just get mad now, because I am guessing that they will say they have no record of me. I will be shocked if they tell me I am listed. I expect this to get farged up.
But hey - at least they did something....6 years later.
I signed up in 2000. I just logged in and updated my information. Things are looking up.
Insofar as the federal and state governments give the Eagles special treatment--the comparable likes of which any other business would kill to get--makes me think they ought to be required to be more transparent about this kind of shtein, but at the end of the day I just don't care.
They're typical american capitalist corporation, which is to say, scum. You don't like it, stop buying tickets, jerseys, etc. Otherwise, stfu.
I got the email from them today about the waiting list.

Highly unlikely.
I'll probably be like 4,865

QuoteOur spam direct marketing e-mail list has so many dead addresses that we are starting to show up on e-mail blacklists. So we are going to purge the rolls and try to get a bunch of new names so we can not only spam the shtein out of you send you special offers, but so we can sell that mailing list for a tremendous profit.
I'm just surprised that the NFL hasn't adopted the college model of basing waiting list position on how much cash you've "donated".
Still no email from the Eagles, but i was able to log in once i realized that my login was my email not the original login # they gave to me in 2005.
That's the trick - they won't actually send the emails out to many people, so they'll trim the wait list down considerably in the process.

My dream scenerio would be they are mailing me a package about seats available rather than email one to me, most likely they were trimming the list down since you have to manually type in YES for agreeing to receive info and something else.
They sent me an offer to buy tailgate packages last year! It was neat.
Only 300 bucks!
My girlfriend decided to surprise me by getting Eagles/Bears tickets in the pre-sale at $305 each. The good news is I'm going to an Eagles game near me. The bad news is I feel inclined to pay her back.

I just got a phone call from some dude at the Eagles ticket office offering me season tickets to their "Tailgate Club." 1 seat for $2850 and it comes with the whole pregame tailgating package and the buffet once you're in the stadium. I asked him to email me all the info just so I can see exactly what all comes with it. I also asked him if he could tell me where my place was on the regular season ticket waiting list but he wouldn't answer. lolz

True as that may be, I'd consider buying 2 of them because I could probably sell them for decent profit.
i would highly doubt that
its 2850 for the season not for a game
its really not that crazy when you think about the geographic they are hoping buys them...i mean a lower level sideline seat is well over a hundred
the problem is it seems as tho they are trying to sell them to the average person on the waiting list who isnt going to pay that...they should market them exclusively to the corporate crowd

I got an email from the guy at the sales office and saw where the seats are. They aren't lower level sideline seats. Their in the club level, section C-13 in the endzone. I've sat in that section once a few years ago. Great seats, awesome view and $55 face value......maybe a few bucks more now.
Thanks, but no thanks on that. No way in hell am I paying $2800 for tickets that cost $550 just so I can get some free food and drinks before the game. I can get that hanging out with yous guys. Plus buttsecks.
Sassy - those are the seats I referred to earlier. I pay $1,500 for two season tickets and the poor schmucks in the row directly in front of me pay $5,900.
The Eagles really are a farging disgrace with that bullshtein.
With the Giants and Cowboys opening new stadiums shortly and the extremely high demand for Eagles tickets the prices are going to continue to rise. I wish there were a way to expand the linc seats aside from SRO's. I know the city puts the cap on capacity but adding another 15,000 seats would be nice.
Why would you want the Eagles to add another 15,000 Tailgating Club Seats?

I didn't even know you had season tickets. bastich.
They do have a prett good view though. I sat there with KoRn a few years back.
You can't see shtein when they're at the opposite end of the stadium, but when Dawkins yanked the pylon out of the ground at end of the NFCCG I was 30 feet away from him.
Best moment at a football game ever.
I've posted a ton of photos over the years from those seats. I'll post a few if I get around to it later.
I'm sure you have but I think his is the first time I've ever paid attention to anything you've posted. Likewise on your end too I'm sure.
lol

I'm talkin General Admission. I know it's impossible to do at this point because the stadium is built but with the overwhelming demand for seats they'd sell.
I know what you're talking about. But if the Eagles felt the need to meet the demand for more seats by adding them, you don't think they wouldn't turn them into some sort of premium ticket package seats that they could charge 2 or 3 times more to help "offset" the cost of adding them in the first place?

my point is that $280 bucks for a club seat with all that comes with the tailgatinhg package isnt a ton of money when you consider a lower level sideline seat is over 100
speaking of ticket money??
So the wifey calls and tells me that we got a package from the Eagles. It says that they couldnt find my email and i had to respond by July 18th so they keep me on the list. We just got this mailing today..LOL. Just like IGY thought, trying to shed people off the list. The funny thing is i logged in and confirmed all that shtein when the orig news came out, they had my correct email since they sent me my password again.

We just got this mailing today..LOL. Just like IGY thought, trying to shed people off the list. The funny thing is i logged in and confirmed all that shtein when the orig news came out, they had my correct email since they sent me my password again.
Same here. I updated all the info last week, but I got something in the mail from them today.
I got it too. The July 18th thing is only to be entered to win their contest. August 8th is the dead line apparently. But I did enter all of that info by July 18th and they still said my e-mail address was wrong. I am going to call them tomorrow.
Got a voicemail from "Merrill Reese" the other day. LOL....that our season tickets were being shipped out this week.
I attempted to call the ticket office today to tell them my listed e-mail was right. A voice recording picks up and says all games are sold out but carny tickets remain and to call ticketmaster. Then it transfers me to a line and it rang for about 10 minutes. I called back and the same thing happened.
So wait. All of that happened on the first call and you still called back?

Yeah, this afternoon. The first time was in the morning.
they were open today i actually had to call....after the all games are sold out message it should automatically go to a ticket representative in the eagles ticket office
Well, it transferred me. But no one picked up. Lazy fargs. >:(
They probably saw where the call was coming from.
Texas exchange gets a big F U from the Eagles, I would hope.
Ha.
Get a Skype number in the Philly area. Problem solved.
Maybe, but the afternoon call was from a 610 area code. :P
Get a Camden Skype number and they'll put you through so you don't come down and shoot somebody.
I like the way you think, sir.
"Oh shtein! We've got a Camden number coming in. Leo, you take this one and give him tickets on the 50 or else he'll unload on our asses!"
Maybe if you'd dress up a little when you called, they'd answer...
dorky old man humor, but I chuckled nevertheless
So three weeks after sending in my information, I finally received a letter saying they have located my Wait List account, but they're not telling me until I complete more information. Fair enough.

I haven't received that letter yet. But I called the ticket office on Wednesday to make sure my e-mail was updated since I could not get through last time and because I got the letter in the mail that said it was not up to date. The guy told me everything was good and I would hear something at the end of this month.

GuestAssist is the text messaging service available to Guests at Lincoln Financial Field. Any Guest may call for assistance during events by sending a text message from their cell phone. The text message is received by a stadium representative and the appropriate assistance is dispatched from our Event Command Post. By using the GuestAssist system, you will be able to report issues and concerns, ask for information and call for assistance in a fast, easy and convenient way.
HOW THE GUESTASSIST TEXT MESSAGE SYSTEM WORKS:
1. Open a blank text message and address the message to 78247.
2. Type the word ASSIST followed by a space and the issue and location.
3. Text messages can be up to 160 characters in length
4. A subject for the text message is not required.
5. When your text message is received, you receive an immediate response message stating, "Your message has been received by stadium personnel."
6. If more information is needed, the GuestAssist operator will respond with additional questions.
SPECIAL NOTES:
Each text message must begin with the keyword ASSIST (not case sensitive). The keyword must be followed by a space and then your message (the issue and location).
The GuestAssist system is operational only on event days beginning when the HeadHouse Plaza opens and until the building is closed at the conclusion of the event.
The GuestAssist system is not available on pre-paid cell phone plans.
Every person with a cellphone should send a message when the game first starts, farging overload it every tiem
i wanna hit a taterskin fan in the face take his cell phone and type in "ASSIST - i got knocked the farg out"
They probably charge $1.99 per message.

Not just buddies either. Visiting fans too. Skins fans will have to explain like 6 times a game that no, they didn't request giving a man oral sex through GuestAssist.
I'm tentatively in favor of the system.
Time to bring a mobile phone frequency jammer.
ASSIST! Tell the farging headcoach to RUN THE FOOTBALL. KTHX.
Now there's a feature that would make millions. Text the coaches? Two bucks a message? Millions.
i do understand why they hate dallas...i hate dallas
i just dont undertsand the unhealthy obsession with hating them...at this point its like people think they should hate them and have to hate them more than that they really do hate them
i also cant stand how everyone has to scream how much they hate dallas...like it makes you a bigger eagle fan if you yell loudest about how much you cant stand the cowboys
You'd personally throw acid into Jose Reyes's eyes but can't understand why other people hate the Cowboys.
Awesome.
im not obsessed with jose reyes...and i totally understand why eagle fans would hate dallas
if dallas if your most hated team thats cool...but the over the topness that eagle fans go with the dallas thing is a joke...especially when the eagles arent even dallas biggest rival...
dallas is the skins most hated rival
skins are dallas most hated rival
eagles are the giants most hated rival
dallas is the eagles most hated rival?
doesnt quite work

Who gives a flying farg if Dallas fans hate us? I hate them and everything they stand for and I hate the organization itself even more.
Exactly - Eagles fans don't have a rivalry with Dallas, it is just pure hate.
pretty sure thats what ive been saying

where does this internet fad come from?
Gay bath houses presumably.
And no, I didn't get an e-mail from the Eagles but only because I already have season tickets. I think they probably eliminated anyone from the list who was already a season ticket holder. So much for getting more tickets.
i havent gotten an email yet, Phreak did you get one? Im wondering since they told us they didnt have correct emails, yet i have received other emails from them
And i got tickets to the Browns game Dec. 15th from my Eagles credit card, yay me
There are supposedly 60,000+ on the list. I suppose I might have tickets before my 40th birthday.

I got our season tickets in December of 2000. The very last week of the month. There were still seats available at that time. I had just gotten back from LA and it was the first thing I did, plunk down the $100 down payment to get them.
It looks like you beat the rush. I'm happy for you.
I'm number 932
I'm starting to think I lost my original place. Oh well.
i signed up right after the playoffs in 2001
I'm quite sad now that I have one less thing to bitch about. :-[

i got an email on another address and for that account i'm in the 15,000 range.

My point was that it couldn't have been THAT early in 2001, as there were still sections of seats available when I went in there. I Had a choice of sections.

Nothing for me either. :'(
the homer in me wants to think im so close im getting tickets, the realist makes me realize im probably out of the list all together from a fargup they had.
Oh I'm totally expecting the worst. My worries, I thought, were over when I talked to the guy in the office and he said everything was cool. But now I got nothin.
shtein!
I lost the email for the link to the waiting list address. someone please post.

I called the ticket office today, they didnt have me on the list, yet had all my info and insisted that i had only signed up in 2005. They put me on hold, and magically came up with me being at 15556 on the list. I'll be calling back when i have more time.
Can someone supply the number again? Our search function blows.
how many of yous who dont have tickets would be willing to shell out the thousands extra it takes to get psl's if by some miracle you get the call for tickets one day
or are you only buying them if they are non psl's
i want non PSL, im not made of FF money. I had a chance to grab ones with PSL's back when they moved into the Linc, i wasnt in position to fork out that as a 21yo.

I would take either, if offered. Who knows where I'll live in 5 to 50 years when I get the call, but I wouldn't pass 'em by.
Thanks Sea....
Oh great googly-moogly.
I'm #43396 on the wait list. I can't remember when I signed up, but know it was between 02 and 05. My guess would be 03 or 04, but Christ.
I'm on the phone with Marie...
Says my number is 21,087. She says she cant tell me what date they have me down as signing up. I asked her how I could appeal because I know I signed up in 2001-2002. She says all she can tell me is my number.

The lady told me that they have about 50,000 on the list total.
WTF??!!?? So only 7,000 signed up after me, even though at the latest I signed up in 04 or 05??

its definitely less than whatever they say it is...theres certainly a significant amount of people that are signed up more than once
also while it doesnt effect the number of people on the list for those that are trying to keep hope alive there will be people who come up for tickets but dont actually take them
i just hope they do their due dilligence on people who do come up for tickets and make a good honest attempt to confirm that they arent ticket brokers

Our seats were $5 cheaper than sideline seats up until now. Meh - that's okay. It's not like the economy is bad or anything.
Seriously, though, I might consider selling my SBL's at this point. If I can get 10K for the both of them, I'm done. It's a hassle anyway and their noxious combination of greed and arrogance is nauseating.
wait until the lil guys blog jumps off and hell buy them from you

i will have the 10 extra bones a month to handout now. thank you, economy.
i'm thinking that with the bad economy and the eagles ripping everyone's hearts out again this year, i will have a chance at tickets for next season.
