Tickets Go On Sale June 14

[phillywin2k5]

that's probably true because yesterday spew said something about the eagles making the "required" number of single game tix available to the public.  i wasn't sure what he was talking about because i know some teams have nothing but season tix...but he must've been talking about the agreement with the city.

that explains that part of it and thats acceptable...but the actual sale of said tickets should be run in a much better and more secure fashion...ie the will call process i previously mentioned....if you have an agreement to get x amount of tickets to the fans each year then make sure they get directly to the fans

i thought the number of tickets was about 1000 for each game. If you really want to know you might be able to figure it out by the number of preseason ticket packages that the Eagles have available. those 4 ticket 4 soda 4 hot dog deals are what i mean for the preseason.

According to Spads, the exact same amount of tickets that was made available to the public as last year, was made available this year.

if that's true, it shows that brokers have a huge advantage with internet sales compared to phone sales.

they have a huge advantage period...not only do they employ massive numbers of people trying to get tickets but they have all the latest technology in getting them....and thats WITHOUT having an in with the team itself

Here's Spad's last words on the subject:

This is my final post here: The ticket count is under 150. Period. That's the truth. The Eagles make no money on the deal other than the advertising, which is substantial and perfectly fine for a marketing business that is judged by its bottom line.

RazorGator is a perfectly legal system, and the overwhelming majority of the tickets sold come from the fans.

I have nothing left to say. That is my stance, that the Eagles are doing good, honest business like many teams in the league. The Eagles treat the fans well, love the fans and respect the fans. It is wonderful having such passionate fans.

I understand there is disappointment that more single-game seats aren't available. It's a tough ticket, no doubt. I thank you for the support and we can close this thread any time. I have read your complaints and I hear you and I appreciate your points of view.

yeah...i just meant that their technology advantage must be greater with internet sales than with phone sales.

with the phone only sales, i've always been able to get tix to 2 games...this year with internet sales allowed, nada.

in other words: grab your ankles and spell run

cmon both you and I know that tickets exchanged hands for cash between the Eagles and Razorgator. they probably paid 200% for the tickets and agreed to give the Eagles kickbacks on the profit that Razorgator makes on the tickets.

As much as I think the Razorgator deal was a horrendous marketing blunder, I think your theory is a little out there.

if something shady were going on, the eagles' sure as hell wouldn't have spew issue a confession on the message board...it's clear that the eagles have no interest in preventing scalpers from fleecing eagles' fans.

[Susquehanna Birder]

Oh, man...don't even get me started on PrimeSport. There's another backdoor sweetheart deal for the Eagles.

primesport=razorgator

Well now that figures. Fargers.

how do they explain violating the terms of one partner to appease another partner?

[Susquehanna Birder]

I think numerous people have posted or referred to that. Of course, there is no response.

[phillywin2k5]

I still haven't found corroboration but I distinctly remember reading an article in one of the Philly papers that stated that 10,000 single-game tickets per game would be made available by the Eagles.

If my Googling skills weren't so atrocious, I'd find a link to the story.

yeah 9000 for the preseason, 1000 for reg season games in total

The problem is (and anyone who's gone through HOURS of ethics training will agree) is that you don't have to do something unethical - appearing to do something unethical is enough.  And this reeks of unethical behavior.
