It was so much easier back in the day when I thought the FO could do no wrong.  I <heart> ignorance.

Ignorance is bliss as long as you take the blue pill.

in browsing a lot of other team sites, the eagles seem to be the only team partnering up with a scalper house other than the bengals. (i didnt go through all of them)

and they seem to be the only team without an organized waiting list (based on teams with strong fan bases) jets, pats, steelers, giants, skins, chiefs, bears...all have an organized waiting list...

can someone please tell me what the eagles ticket office does with their time other than making shady scalper deals?

[Wingspan]

The way the Eagles attacked free agency this year, it wouldn't surprise me that Lurie and Banner are trying to pocket a few extra bucks. They do come off as cheap sometimes regardless of what anyone thinks.

Email Andy, he'd never support this type of madness.

EAGLES FANS CRY FOUL REGARDING TICKET SALES

We've received numerous e-mails from readers who think that something stinks regarding the manner in which the Philadelphia Eagles distributed single-game tickets on Wednesday, June 14.

The tickets went on sale at 10:00 a.m. on June 14, and per several readers they were sold out within minutes.

But plenty of tickets are available through RazorGator.com, a ticket brokerage that offers seats at a sizeable markup.  Curiously, the Eagles and RazorGator.com have entered into some sort of a partnership, as evidenced by a web page that combines the names and trademarks of both entities.

Although the Eagles tickets available via RazorGator.com supposedly come from "Season Ticket Holders," the mere existence of a business relationship between the Eagles and the ticket brokerage has prompted fans who were unable to get single-game tickets at face value to believe that the seats somehow were funneled to RazorGator -- thereby allowing the team to make even more money on the ultimate transaction.

We're not suggesting that anything inappropriate has actually happened.  But from a P.R. standpoint, the team's arrangement with RazorGator.com coupled with the near-immediate disappearance of the available single-game tickets looks bad, and we think the organization should take a long look at the potential impact of the perception that a back-door windfall is being engineered.

Again, we're not saying it's happening.  But we can understand why reasonable minds would conclude otherwise, based on the available facts.

I didn't get a goddamn thing again this year. Thankfully FF was kind enough to offer me the CAR ticket. Just like PG was nice enough to hook me up big time in 2004.

I had to go to work early today so it screwed up my plan. Although my plan hasn't worked in years past and probably wouldn't have worked today. But anyways, I called Ticketmaster and was on hold. And like in years past I got disconnected and then when I called back I didn't get shtein. I finally got to hear a real voice in Houston at about 10:15ish and there was nothing according to this person.

So I got pissed and hung up and went to work angry.

And that Razorgator thing is farging insane. I, like many others, are on this fictional waiting list and haven't heard a GODDAMN thing about it. Unlike some iceholes out there who don't even want to go to the games, I do. I want to be there. I want to spend my money at Lincoln Financial Field and give the Eagles money so I can enjoy myself. Do the Eagles care? Of course not. They are getting their cash from Razorgator and whoever else is on the take with that ticket office. And then they sell them to opposing fans and others a big markups.

I don't even mind paying $150 for a ticket sometimes from a broker. But it pisses me off that I could be buying TWO games for what I spend on one seat.

I hope the Philadelphia media makes a stink about this. For once in my life i actually want them to piss and moan. Hell, they're good enough at doing it they should shred Leo Carlin if it is found that he is being shady.

welcome to the dark side luke

Cataldi mentioned the PFT.com item on the air during the WIP morning show about 10 minutes ago and agreed it sounds fishy, so it's looking like this issue is going to at least get some degree of local media scrutiny. Morganti said (and I tend to agree) that it's more likely that some individuals (maybe lower level clerical staff in the FO) could be involved in something like this on their own to make extra money ala Mike Tice, than the organization funnelling tickets to scalpers as a revenue stream.

Ticket sales in general are a scam and corrupt...I picked up some tickets on eBay for the Chilli Peppers concert in October, and there were already people selling tickets for a not-yet-announced (at the time) second night at the Wachovia Center which didn't go on sale to the public until two weeks later.

Speaking of...if anyone is interested in four tickets together to the Eagles/Cleveland Browns preseason game in a lower-level SBL section behind the Eagles bench at the goal line (section 105), PM me. We'll probably end up selling them at $40-50 per ticket ($80 face value).

that wouldnt come close to equaling the number of tickets that razorgate has

all the eagles have to do is disassociate themselves from razorgate and tell ticket holders that if they find their tickets being sold anywhere for more than face value they will give one warning and after that you lose your seats and they will be offered to the next person on the 'waiting list'

the problem is with the amount of tickets razorgate has its clear that they have some sort of deal with the eagles to obtain tickets and its not season ticket holders selling their tickets

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I'm glad this is getting some pub.  If nothing else, it might entice the ticket office to finally send out waiting list status as they promised close to a year ago.

[Diomedes]

What! What!!  All of a sudden the media is our friend?

Bash 'em 'till you need 'em, eh?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Obviously.  Duh.
