FOUR YEARS in a row and NO EAGLES TICKETS (stubhub strikes again!)

O.k. so I was at my computer at 6:59am with my cell phone in hand (ticketmaster # on speed dial) AND logged into the ticketmaster site on the Giants vs. Eagles game (Nov 9th). The ticketmaster line was busy the entire time, and the net was clogged with hopeful ticket buyers. And as usual, the Eagles tickets sold out in minutes. My first choice was the Giants game b/c it's near the mid point of the season and both teams should be jockying for position. That, and the Giants are the current Superbowl Champions. Anyway, after being frustrated (again) I just took advantage (or them of me haha) of stubhub and got almost the EXACT ticket (section/seat/row) I got last year for the Dallas Cowboy game, but instead of paying 450 PER TICKET, I spent ONLY $295 per ticket. Yeah, it's expensive (the face value of the ticket is $90) but I had a blast the last time I was in Philly and definitely want to check out more on the east coast while I'm there. Anyway, there are still some "deals" on stubhub if you are interested. See you in November!!

	I can sympathize with you, I have been on the season ticket waiting list for a decade now.

	I live in Houston, and for the past four years I have been at the computer at 9am (10 EDT) to get Eagles tickets, and have yet to get ANY! I was able to get tickets to the Texans / Eagles game when they came here a couple years ago through RazorGator.com ($250 each, club level endzone). That was fine because I didn't have to travel. For Eagles fans living out of state, this SUCKS! Airfare is way to expensive now, so paying a few extra hundred to get tickets (Stubhub, Razor, etc.) on top of travel is to much. ....... Oh well, it's just money. SEE YOU IN PHILLY!!!

	I actually got tickets on the lower level. But yeah, with the rising prices of GAS/Airfare it's going to be expensive (not to mention hotel/food/car rental if I decide to check out other stuff on the east coast while I'm there etc). I had a blast there last year (except us losing to the Cowboys) so I figure I would spend a little more time checking out the city and surrounding areas.

	I was able to get 4 EAGLES/BROWN tix. I've tried forever to get tickets when they go on sale on ticketmaster and never could and would play 3 times the price each year for the Dallas/Eagles game.

	I was only considering the Giants/Cowboys/Redskins game since I'm only going to one home game and wanted to see a division rival. The Browns would probably be a good game b/c they have such a good offense and their defense should be better this year.

	I'm settling for the first home pre-season game.... that's how rough it is for the out of state college student Eagles fans. I;m also going to try to go to D.C. for the Birds game on 12/21 and I will definitely be trying to get back to Philly during the regular season. Thank god for Southwest's FL to Philly deal!

	I can empathize with you. I'll sell you my bachelors degree for $5. :) haha

	I have been trying for 5 years and never had any luck getting tickets over the phone or online. I did get some Monday night tickets on ticketmaster 2 years ago, the friday before the game. Looks like I'll be searching every week for tickets.

	I have been on for six years!!No luck so far.... Stub Hub has them but expect to pay... I am think about buying the flyers 10 game plan though...

	I can sympaphize with tb sportfan... My Brohter is a cowboys fan and has a rich g'f... She brought him tix to dallas eagles last year the sun night game.... They payed 1200.00 for both.... and left at the end of the third qt... losers...

	7.1. Latinferno , June 20, 2008 \| Reply	+1 pts \| \| \|
	Total losers. I stayed the entire game last year (and we were destroyed). With taxes/commission I paid just over a thousand dollars for 2 tickets. The people sitting next to me were from California as well (they paid slightly more $500 per ticket) and a couple in front of me also were from Cali (paid $550 per ticket). A lot of fans left, but we obviously were going to get our "moneys worth" haha :)

	i was able to get 4 tix to the home opener and 4 for the falcons game, wasn't hard for me

	8.1. Latinferno , June 20, 2008 \| Reply	+1 pts \| \| \|
	Rams and Falcons. I guess that would have been an easier target. I would have "settled" for one of those games, but I wanted a divisional rival (figured the Giants would be the best game b/c it happens near mid season).

	I didn't get the tix this yr cus i tried to late but, there is a way to get them over phone and if ur quick online u have a shot if u do it the right way....i will be able to get tix face value cus my dad knows a season ticket holder for anygame i want so im lucky i got a fallback plan becus stubhub is too much to even think about...Peace

	You are one of the lucky ones indeed. I know a guy who has SF season tickets, so I'll be able to get the Eagles/SF tix at face value (I hope haha) :)

	Well if anyone here does have extra season tickets, and wants to give a "bro deal". I'm sure this would be the place to get them to someone. I actually bought pre-season tickets a few years back (on accident ha!) and just found a random Eagles fan online and sent them the tix for free.

	i'll ask it might not be too late. when I was in college I worked as a server with a guy who's brother now works as a lawyer of some sorts for the Eagles.... so I give him a call and he sets it up, but I get a hold of him early, never tried late

	O.k. that was random...all my posts were deleted.

	Anyway. Thanks to every for their reply (even though I see some are missing???) Nothing I read on here was in violation of the "Rules" so I don't see why they were removed.

	O.k. that was just flat out stupid. Why were all those posts deleted??????????????????

	Not gonna "man up" and say who you are? Or just randomly delete stuff b/c you can?

	I don't think there is an option for us bloggers to delete posts. I believe that is up to the moderators (or apparently some "mysterious system error" as Dewey noted on my GARBAGE article.

	Awwww,.... That stinks half the things I write are deleted anyway.... It does sorta anoy me when you get these packers or cowboys, or penguins fans bashing our teams... So so times I fly off a bit..lol
