the eagles can look those tickets up and find the owner...give them a warning that scalping their tickets will result in a loss of their seats if caught again...

1. Why would they? They have their season ticket money, they don't care after that.
2. As long as the people aren't breaking the PA markup law, it shouldn't be a problem.

1. the claim a 60,000 person waiting list, enough to fill a 2nd stadium. the demand is there to keep the seats full

2. 3 or 4 times face value is in major non compliance of markup laws.

that's on Razorgator then, in my opinon. not the Eagles.

i would agree with you if the eagles werent pimping razorgator all over their site

I honestly think you're better off going to away games at this point.

It's easier to get good seats for most away games for the same price as nosebleeds at the Linc.

While there's a certain element of fans who'll complain about anything, in this instance, I think they have a case here. The Eagles have something to answer for with respect to the RazorGator affiliation. It's like they're doing business with the Mob openly and without a shred of regret.

The thing is, though, the season tickets are sold out and there is very little attrition, so they can basically do whatever they want.

It's a shame that they're doing so simply because they can.

right...that's where this whole thing gets shady. i agree.

The thing is, though, the season tickets are sold out

the how are there single game ticket sales

the season tickets are sold out cause the eagles say they are sold out
just like theres a 60,000 waiting list cause the eagles say there is a 60,000 seat waiting list

there are plenty of season tickets available...the eagles just dont want to sell them to you or me

I called ticketmaster in Dallas....no luck at getting any and we called right before 10am

I tried to get farging Tennesse tickets at 10:09 and they were sold out...2 seats in best avail.

Although I'm tempted to feed the machine at razorgator...

edit: They will have to up the seating if they plan on making a serious bid for the '16 Olympi-yads.

Has anybody compared the actual seats offered on Razorgator versus Stubhub? I think they may be selling the same seats (from a common pool), and taking their own commission if it sells via their site.

From Spadaro...

QuoteDoesn't it say on the RazorGator site where the tickets come from? Fans, right? Ticketholders, right? Why don't you go raise cain with RazorGator? The Eagles have done nothing wrong at all. This is a great fan base and the demand exceeds the supply. Simple as that.

QuoteI don't confirm business deals. I am not shown contracts. I don't know. I would imagine, understanding the web component, that the only money the Eagles get from them is through the advertising ... But I am not confirming anything because I don't know and I won't take the time to find out. I have other things to do.

Alrighty then.

Spadaro's basically saying he has nothing with which to spin this.

I got my 4 Tennessee tickets at 10:03, only because it took that long to search.

i wonder if he was twitching while saying that

Susquehanna Birder · June 15, 2006, 11:56:11 AM

I checked both sites, and it appears that there are, indeed, some common seats on both sites. Mostly the blocks of seats. The ones and twos look to be unique to each site.

I don't think Spew would want to look into that area. It's safer for him to keep his professional blinders on.

Rome · June 15, 2006, 11:56:34 AM

And another one...

QuoteI think it's wonderful that a team coming off a 6-10 season has such a high demand for tickets. It would be great to make everyone who wants a ticket happy. That isn't reality. I don't see this as a negative story at all. The Eagles have done nothing wrong.

ALL IS WELL!

I just looked at that thread, and it reminded me of why I so rarely visit that place anymore.

I don't expect Spew to acknowledge impropriety by the Eagles, but his answers are more infuriating than if he would have just not responded.
