1500 add'l tickets available for every home game

I've got to try that someday.  At least the hookers part.  What's it cost to get a couple (clean) dirty whores to pretend they want nothing more than for me to screw one of them while she laps away at the other? 

I'll pass on the idiotic drugs.

Hell if I know - I say that shtein as a joke. My idea of paying for sex is buying her dinner, and hoping and praying that she'll give it up.

Exaclty how much does a bundle of hay and a bucket of oats go for these days?

That cheap huh?

What they are doing is unethical. Whether other teams are doing it, doesn't concern me.

It's not unethical.  They are selling tickets.  It may be unfair because they don't seem to care who they are selling them too, but it's not unethical.  What the scalpers are doing is unethical.   

It is also illegal for any fan living in PA to sell any ticket to any avent that occurs in PA for more than 15% over face. So you are wrong there.

Do the Eagles sell their tickets to razorgator or stubhub or whoever for more than 15% over face value?  To my knowledge they don't.  The scalpers raise the ticket prices up.  Of course, I don't blame the scalper completely.  I also blame the sucker who pays $200 for $50 seats. 

It is unethical because the Eagles own anti-scalping rule on their webpage says no ticket can be sold over face.  Then they direct their season ticket holder to sell them on RazorGator for lots of money.  Is that ethical or unethical?  Is it ethical to sell one person 20 seats together in one row, that all get put up on RG?  Is it hard to sniff out the fact that the guy who owns those seats is not a fan?  Why would they sell anyone 20 seats in one row?  Ethical or unethical?

When selling tickets on RazorGator, they never handle the actual tickets.  The ticket holder sends the tickets to the buyer.  RazorGator never "buys" the tickets from the holder.  They would be stupid too since so few tickets ever really sell off of RazorGator due to the priices.  eBay is much cheaper, which is where most of the RG tickets end up the week of the games.  So ALL RG seats from owners in PA, break the PA law.

I do agree that I feel bad for the suckers that pay those high dollar amounts.

Don't call me Juice. That's not nice.

Don't call me Surely.

Don't try to pretend you have a sense of humor.

Wow this guys really wants our attention.

[Cerevant]

Can you score me a couple of these standing tickets? Should we call them standees? Help me out here.

Which game?  The SROs are a really bad deal anyway.  Yes, they get you into the stadium but the areas they are for are generally crowded already.  It'll just be a mess in those areas.  Someone has actally bid up a pair of the SROs on eBay to $212.  There is one born every minute.

I'm sorry - weren't you the one telling us that the scalpers were losing money because there was no demand for their filthy wares?  Lessee...

Prices for scalped tickets are down big time, almost no tickets are moving off of RazorGator.

Genius

i wouldn't pay 50 bucks to stand up for 3 hours...i'm way too lazy.

[Diomedes]

I'm with you on that.  No thanks.

[ttllabtoof]

I have a great sense of humor, or else I wouldn't be slicing and dicing non-thinking fools like yourself.

Do you think prices are up from last year?  If you do, you don't have any idea what you are talking about.

What does the price of the tickets have to do with the Eagles scalping their tickets is wrong?

Two different topics.  Try not to confuse them, Einstain.

Way to contribute.  Next time think before you type worthless drivel.  No one cares about your opinions on other posters

With all the ranting I've seen you do, the bolded part is the only basis for a valid argument that you have. Otherwise the actual scalping is being done by the same fans, travel & ticket agencies that have owned season tickets since they were at the Vet. Unless you have proof that the Eagles are getting a cut from the RG scalping profits, please give it a rest, because you appear either dangerously obsessive or as a manipulative scalper.

An example I can use is Wanamaker Tickets, who I have had to buy my tickets from in the past. I moved to the Philly area about 5 years ago & got my first tickets from them for the Tampa playoff game at the Vet in 2002. This agency owned blocks of seats that they would sell to travel agencies & individuals. When the Linc was built, they had to pay the PSL's for the all the seats they owned at the Vet to the tune of over a million. Why wasn't this an issue back then? They were still scalping tickets then, same as the individual seat owners who were doing the same. Why is this some conspiracy theory now?

I used to live in NEPA & started coming to games in the early 90's through bus trips run by Martz Tours. They owned blocks of seats that they also continued to own once the Linc was built. Why wasn't this a huge concern back then? You were wondering why the Eagles were selling "one person 20 seats together in one row", there's your answer. These are only two that I've been personally involved in, I'm sure there are many more.

These types of relationships allowed "real fans" who did not live in the area or had other difficulties buying season tickets, the ability to attend a game at a price they agree to. Why should these fans be disadvantaged from having access?

Once again, the disparity between the Eagles scalping policy & their ill-conceived advertising relationship with Razorgator is the only argument that you have. I'm on the shtein end of the ticket buying spectrum, so I'm not somebody who's happy to see anyone profit excessively from secondary or tertiary ticket sales.

On the other hand, as one of the "suckers" that a few of you seem to have some pity on, please explain to me the other options for buying tickets, outside of spending $20k+ for PSLs, hoping to luck into a friend who is willing to let a ticket go for cost (or slightly more) or playing the regular season ticket buying lottery? If you want to see a game, have the expendable cash and can find a ticket at an agreeable price, why should someone take an ineffectual moral stand to pass on the game experience?

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

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?  Easy questions.

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?

Think for yourself, this isn't very difficult to decipher.  And I do buy tickets from scalpers to see the games.  I buy clubs better value.  This is not an ethical issue for me, but it should be for the team.

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