Tickets Go On Sale June 14

[Wingspan]

nope, i think i got my pair about about 10:05 once i hit submit on the transaction.

i tried every other game (1 per minute) on 2 other computers for the next 20 minutes

[phillywin2k5]

got this from Philly.com blog

Is it a coincidence that the Eagles website promotes a ticket scalping website called razorgator.com, that somehow "managed" to get large blocks of non seasonticketholder tickets (the upper reaches of the Linc), and sells them at three to four times face value?

This, despite violating Pennsylvania State scalping laws which states you cannot sell them at anything over face value?

Gee, do you think Eagles ticket office chief Leo Caplin might be getting a big monetary kickback for hooking up outside scalpers with blocks of tickets that only he has access to?

I have talked to DOZENS of people today who could get nothing more than maybe one single ticket to the worst game on the schedule, yet razorgator.com somehow gets them in batches of four?

Isn't this theft of service, and how come nobody sees it (or at least says anything)?!?!

sounds like a job for Governor Rendell + Senator Specter to start investigating...

[Wingspan]

i just went to that razorgator site...by clicking through the PE.com

they have 100's of tickets to each game. with blocks of 4, 6, and a few as high as 18 tickets together. that is amazing. why wont someone run with this story is a good question.

[SunMo]

they are scared of the Spad's Vendetta Machine

[MadMarchHare]

That makes me want to go on a killing spree, considering last year I got through for MNF Cowboy tix, only to be told I couldn't have 4, only 2.  Which left me paying 250 a piece for seats in the corner of the endzone, last row of the second deck.

write in, see if it becomes a story....

Spadaro is getting spammed with questions about RazorGator right now.

I don't know why.  If people want to know wtf is going on with the ticket office, why would they ask Spadaro?  He's not going to give you anything close to the truth anyway.

Call f'ing Leo Carlin and complain.  Or better yet, call one of the clowns over at the Inky or Daily News.   Get SAS on it.  He likes muckraking and this will give him something legitimate to investigate.

i have always been suspicious of nfl teams, eagles included, of purposely feeding these places tickets. i've wondered and figured out that this is a way for any NFL team to make money and keep it off of the revenue books, making their egg bigger than the next guy. when they announce their single game sales...how many people do you know actually land tickets? year after year.

whenever an nfl team raises ticket prices publicly, there is a PR nightmare, teams want to avoid that.

however i have thought that teams will sell to a site like stub hub and razorgator at a price higher than face value. in a way, teams scalp their own tickets to be turned around and scalped again.

when the demand for tickets is good, everyone wins but the fans that have no choice but to pay up to $500 tickets to go to a game. but there sure were a LOT of empty seats that were supposedly sold out this time last year (and i was able to go to the skins game on new years day last year, buying my ticket though ticketmaster, for section 101 at face value).

i estimate razor gator to have around 10,000 eagles tickets available (each page has 41 listings of about 4 tickets a peice, 8 or 9 pages of listings per game,  8 games)....i am sorry, there is absolutley NO WAY they could have aquired that many tickets since 10 am this morning without the eagles knowing they were getting these.

again, that is just one site...

[MURP]

seriously.   write florio@profootballtalk.com  ... if enough people make a stink he will investigate.

yeah that sold out in under an hour is bs.

i was one of the lucky ones today by getting some dallas tix right away, and by the time that transaction was over, maybe 7 or 8 minutes, there were nothing but single left, and 5 minutes later, nothing.  they sold out in probably under 15 minutes.
