Eagles Fans Not Happy With ‘Stupid Expensive’ Playoff Ticket Prices. Here’s What It Costs to Get In
|
Jalen Hurts has been incredible and the Philadelphia Eagles are about to begin the playoffs at the NFC’s top-seed with real Super Bowl aspirations.
And fans are livid.
Not because the team is 14-3 and having just a remarkable run, but because if they hope to get into the Linc to see the guys play they are going to have to take out a second mortgage. OK, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but ticket prices are seriously steep.
According to multiple reports, the tickets, which went on sale Tuesday morning on Ticketmaster, start at $350. That’s just the starting price for the common, everyday dad who might have been wanting to surprise his son with a trip to check out the game. And, for most folks, that starting rate already prices them out.
- But those tickets were snapped up and they have been re-emerging on resale sites at … well, some of the prices are simply insane. Anything in the lower bowl between the 20s will cost you between $850 and $3,000. Box seats will run you several thousand dollars. According to one report, some seats were going for as much as $9,000 on Wednesday
“Hey @nfl @Eagles remember when regular people could afford tickets?” another tweeted. “Legal scalping has gone too far, there has to be a cap.”
Social media was full of that, and folks have a valid point. Still, good for the folks who could manage to somehow score tickets and not go completely broke.
The Eagles will open the playoffs against the lowest-seeded winner from this week’s wildcard games on either Saturday, Jan. 21 or Sunday, Jan. 22. So, they will either face the Seattle Seahawks, New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys or Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
