The Post picked this up.  And they're painting it as a way for the teams (particularly bashing the taterskins, I might add) to recoup scalper profits.

I put my name on the Falcons season ticket waiting list last year when I bought tickets to the opener down there last year, just to see what would happen.

I already got an email and a link to buy seats.

Eagles fan Tony is a farging psycho.  Trust me when I say this.

BTW: Did you guys catch some of the comments people offered on that story?  Pretty good ones.  :angel:

You have balls saying that.  Could I have been more right???  Since you are one of the SCALPERS, Joe likes so much, I can see why you would side with it.  You are truly one of the dumbest people I have ever run accross.

"The cynicism and distrust in that question is offensive," Banner said, "and I wonder why it's not asked of anyone else."

Sounds like getting your hand caught in the cookie jar to me. Is it really that offensive Mr Banner...I mean really?

I am the person the who sent the details for the story on the Eagles scalping their own tickets.  This organization is so dirty it is sad.  And then for Joe "the fool" Banner, to be offended by the story is laughable.

Check out RazorGator sometime.  There are "season ticket holders" (read that scalpers), that the Eagles are in bed with.  Some have as many as 22 tickets in one row for sale.  There are hundreds of sets of tickets on that site, many with 10 seats together, up to 22 seats together.  So how does a person get 22 seats together as season tickets???

Kick backs.  The Eagles are obviously making money off of every scalped seat sold on RazorGator, otherwise why would they be doing it.  It was funny how at the end of last season, all of the supposed "sold out games", had hundreds of tickets available.  This the Eagles were in the toilet, obviously no one was buying tickets at the prices the scalpers wanted.  So the tickets were funneled back to the Eagles from the scalpers, and sold at face to the fans.  Hey thanks alot Joe, you will sell the fans tickets only when you can't scalp the hell out them, with your partner.

I will tell you the Front Office is very sensitive to the topic now that it hit the papers in a big way.  The NFL Security Detail is looking into it, the same guys that nailed Mike Tice.  The F.O. had me banned from the Eagles Message board, first for a few weeks, for writing the article and now have banned me permanently for being involved in the scalping investigation.

That board is as corrupt as the Eagles Front Office, so no surprise there.  There are many users on that board that are non-thinking drones, I think they actually work for the Eagles.  The Mods are only puppets doing what the F.O. tell them to do, so I can't blame them.  But here's hoping they find an entry level IT job, so they can do their own thinking.

I hope the Giants, taterskin and Cowboys fans fill the Linc for the next 5 years.  Since the Eagles are scalping their own tickets, that is how the other team's fans are able to fill OUR stadium.  Remember the Giants and taterskins games last season?  But as long as they are making alittle more money, why should they care if their stadium isn't filled with EAGLES fans.

Note to Jeff L.:  Stop raping your fans by pointing them to your scalping partner to buy tickets.  How about doing what is right instead of what makes you a few more bucks.  Bad Karma follows this team and its origin is from the money grubbing, cheap, dirty corrupt people at the top of this organization.  Its never to late to actually start aiming to be the Gold Standard, not just saying it.  Take care of you fans, instead of taking advantage of them.  Until you do, the black cloud will hang over you forever.

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.

That is not your story on the Eagles Message Board, you are totally for the Eagles getting into bed with scalpers.  Try to pick a side and stick with it, you may actually get some respect after a while.  Lemming..........  don't be afraid to cross the Eagles, the most they can do is kick you off the message board.  Then you get to hack into their site and shut it down for kicks.

Made me laugh though when I read your comments.  I suspect your other lemming buddies over there, feel the same way, they are just afraid to say it.   They can't be as stupid as they come off, siding with the scalpers instead of the fans.

Preach on!

Gotta love them drones.

That was a lot of words. I'll bet he made a point in there somewhere.

ttllabtoof, what happened to your endless supply of IP addresses all across the country?  Surely you must have outsmarted those corrupt mods by now.

One of the mindless puppets, I see.  You guys were a joke.  You couldn't even rationalize your own actions.  First one mod accidentally banned me with 3 warnings in 20 minutes (after never having i warning in 3 years), then another numbskull accidental extended the suspension by 3 weeks.  And then the best part, banned for typing "jacka$$".  You guys aren't even smart enough to come up with believable ideas.  All of this just as Dave Spadaro found out I was writing the RazorGator story for the Daily News.  INCREDIBLE COINDENSE???   I think not.

I am not as stupid as you are, why would I rush out and give away all of my IP addresses?  Cloaking will help too.  I wouldn't be doing it anyway, I would have my IT guys doing it and just creating user names for me.  But I decided to just hang out.  You guys must enjoy being told what to do by the Front Office.

Good luck finding your first real job.  If you need an entry level IT job, let me know.  No hard feelings.  You were just doing what you were told to do, but it was funny.  The whole "we are cracking down on bad words" excuse was classic.  Knuckleheads.

mcgraw isn't a mod

mcgraw isn't a mod

On EMB he must be.  Or someone who knows one of the mods.  Because he has details only they knew about the orders for my banning from the front office.
