When you're drunk even garbage s'mores would taste good. I think.

A small price to pay to see both of those fargers burnt to a crisp.

This last page is the reason why you should read an entire thread before posting.

I jumped in at page 10, and have absolutely no idea what y'all are talking about.

Perhaps if you weren't so abrasive, your message would have a better chance of being heard.

Perhaps if people weren't so quick to attack, I wouldn't have to be abrasive.  Read my first couple of posts, were they abrasive?

It is not the same fans as were in the Vet and with the vehicle of the internet the scalping has just gotten worse.

With the advent of the internet, it's gotten easier to scalp & it's become more out in the open, it has not necessarily increased the numbers that significantly . There is probably some validity to your argument though regarding the crowds being different, as with the cost of the PSL's being prohibitive, fans with money who don't want to attend all the games have bought into season tickets when the previous owners couldn't afford them.

You explain to me, how do season ticket holders get from 10 to 20 seats together for the sole purpose of scalping them?  Is that a good thing to you?  Or should the Eagles be revoking them and giving them to people who would actually use them?

I already explained it to you. I gave you 2 first hand examples.  Ticket/travel agencies that owned blocks in the past, retained them once the Linc was built. Is that a good thing to me personally? Actually it may. Who ends up with these seats? Fans who either don't have the money for PSL's or aren't native & had the ability to get season tickets when they were easily available. Either way they go to people "who actually use them". Do I enjoy paying 2 to 3 times face value? farg no, I'd rather put that money to other uses, but if I want to see a game, I have the ability to get one at a cost I can agree upon.

If you had to take an Eagles fan test to buy tickets, some fans are still going to scalp them regardless of the internet or lack of agencies buying seats in bulk, which will increase the scalped price & reduce the availability to a different segment of the fan base. Either way some "real fans" lose.

What "proof" do you need that the eagles are getting a cut from RazorGator?  What other possible reason would they have to get involved with a scalping organization and steering their fans to use them to scalp their seats?  Do you think the eagles have a hard time finding companies that want to advertise with them?

This is not a covert conspiracy, it is in the open and very obvious to anyone with half a brain.  What proof do you have that they are not getting a cut and are simply doing it because they are desparate for advertising partners?

Advertising revenue? Like you, I think it's inappropriate for all of the NFL teams that I'm aware of, to have relationships with agencies like Stubhub, Razorgator, since it's contradicts their scalping policies. Being sponsor whores is what the NFL is about, like it or not, but it does not neccesitate the relationship that you are indicating exists. If you had real proof, this would be a break out story & you wouldn't be wasting your time posting your conspiracy theory here.

Lots of good points in there.

There are definitely thousands of tickets being scalped for every game.  The advent of the internet has probably increased the number of tickets being sold up to 10 fold.  Anyone can scalp their tickets now.  Back in the 80s and 90s, very few of the regular fan could have sold their tickets.  The only outlet would have beenyour store front ticket agency and you would only be getting slightly above face.  The ticket broker made all of the money.  Now the ticket holders themselves see 100 of the profits.

The story has already been written and the NFL is very aware of this building problem.

Some of my message to the folks reading this board is how much the Eagles front office is screwing the fans.

Some is how they are screwing their own team, by making it very easy for opposing fans get seats just as easy as the Eagles fans.  And at the same time having Eagles fans have to outbid Giants fans for tickets.

Some is just education on how eagles fans can get tickets t the lowest price possible.

If somehow all of the talk makes the Eagles do what is right, then it would all be worth it.  They have already admitted they didn't like the negative publicity the RG story generated.  This was obvious in the way they reacted after the SRO sale.  But they are not real smart, probably on purpose, on how to stop or curtail the scalping.  Making the SRO's pcikup before game time only, and only sold the wee of the game would have reduced the scalping to zero.  They chose the money grab method.  This is why there are a hundred SRO auctions on eBay already.

Did I attack you?

Perhaps you should stop whining like a little girl and take our attacks like a man.

Oh yeah, and stop posting novel-length blocks of text. No one wants to read that shtein.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

No one wants to read that shtein.

The simple solution is, of course, not to read it.

[rjs246]

I don't read it. I just glance at the block of text and start ridiculing. Come on dude, you knew that already. I'm barely literate.

[Sgt PSN]

I can't believe this thread is still alive.  Poor form.  All of you.
