I'll say it once and I'll say it again, if there were no brokers buying these tickets then people would have to pay a lot more money to get them and what they'd sell out in 3 minutes instead of 2 minutes? It's simple supply and demand, if there are 500 tickets on the market then the prices are more stable then if there are 300 etc..... <br /> <br />The other thing is without brokers, fans would have to rely on individuals to get the tickets and what happens if they're fake, no way are they getting their money back etc... <br /> <br /> <br />Another point is about the Eagles themselves. <br /> <br />The Eagles themselves have $275 tailgate package tickets online right here <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.lincolnfinancialfield.com/tickets/hospitalityinfo.jsp" target="_blank">http://www.lincolnfinancialfield.com/tickets/hospitalityinfo.jsp</a> <br /> <br />oh but it's not scalping because they include a buffett worth every bit of $10.99 before the game <br /> <br />and also $1000 tickets on the 50 yard line here <br /><a href="http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/gameday/touchdownclub.jsp" target="_blank">http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/gameday/touchdownclub.jsp</a> <br /> <br />that you may get meet and greets with worth every bit of $59.99 <br /> <br />now that's a poisoning the well argument but only if the Eagles aren't the ones complaining about it and the NFL is letting the Eagles do it so why not some healthy competition? <br /> <br />Also if the NFL or the Eagles really wanted to prevent the scalping of these they could have restricted the sale to PA, NJ, DE and then also made it WILL CALL only, two things they didn't do....because it costs them money and the frustration of having all those people waiting in line etc...</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Cunty McJagoff</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue Sep 12, 2006 7:29 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Ticket scalping bastards...</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"><span style="font-weight: bold">You make a wonderful contribution to society, Quinn. <br /> <br />Courtesy of profootballtalk.com:</span> <br /> <br /> <br /><span style="font-style: italic">EAGLES SLAM ON-LINE TICKET BROKERS <br /> <br />The Philadelphia Eagles recently announced that the team will be selling 1,500 standing-room only tickets to Sunday's home opener against the Giants. The tickets will go on sale on Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. EDT, for $50 each. <br /> <br />But even though the seats have not yet been offered up for sale, on-line ticket brokers (including the Eagles' official "Fan2Fan" ticket exchange service, RazorGator.com) are selling the seats. <br /> <br />On RazorGator, the tickets were going for $175 each -- a healthy 250 percent markup. (We took a screen shot of the page. The link has since been revised to change the "SRO" seats to "GA".)</span></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
