Eagles To Sell 'A Few Thousand' Tickets For Saturday's Playoff Game
By Jim Melwert
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Tickets for Saturday night's Eagles' playoff game will go on sale to the general public tomorrow (Tuesday) at 12 noon.
Some fans, though, are already taking to the resale market to get their seats.
The team is revealing no exact number, saying only that there are "a couple thousand" tickets available for sale to the general public. Face values range from $70 (for a standing-room ticket) to $130.
On the popular ticket resale web sites -- including the ticket exchange on the Eagles' web site -- a lower-level ticket for Saturday night's game will run you around $300.
That's right in the wheelhouse for Jim, from Northeast Philadelphia.
"Absolutely, yeah," he told KYW Newsradio this morning. "Three hundred? That's well worth it."
Just yesterday, Stub Hub sold about 250 tickets in the lower level. The average price for those tickets was actually $50 lower than what tickets for the game were selling for on the site the week before Christmas.
Tickets for general sale will be available at noon tomorrow on ticketmaster.com or by phone at 800-745-3000, with a limit of four tickets per household.
