Eagles Won't Raise Season Ticket Prices For Next Season

PrintThe Eagles haven't give their season ticket holders much to cheer about over the past couple seasons (they went just 3-5 at home last year), but this news is sure to make those ticket holders smile... or more accurately, it will prevent them frowning.
Eagles president Joe Banner announced that the team will not be raising season ticket prices for next season.
"This is something we're thrilled to be able to do," said Banner, who said this is the fourth year in a row prices have been stable. "There aren't many teams who are selling out their stadiums and have a waiting list of more than 40,000 who are doing that. In fact, I would say there aren't any teams like that who haven't raised prices for four years."

Nah I started buying counterfit merchandise. It’s just as nice and only a 10th of the price.
"Fuckin right G."
Not really. I see so many crappy jerseys at games it sickens me. Stop being cheap. Wrong colors, wrong fonts, mismatched pieces. Its stupid.
2012 is the year of Philly sports teams.
Your really going to chastise people who buy counterfeit merchandise? Maybe that is all they could afford or don’t want to pay a ridiculously inflated price simply because it is ‘Official NFL’ & not because it is really made that much better.
Yes I am. Its not about being made better, its about the look. If you are going to spend money on a jersey, get one that actually looks like the one on the field. Not one that’s not even the right color.
I know they are a bit overpriced, but have some respect.
2012 is the year of Philly sports teams.
So the wrong shade of green = disrespect? I don't get your logic.
It’s just a jersey; it is a shirt with likeness of the team’s color and has a name and number on the back. The fact someone has one, fake or real, already prove enough that they are Eagles fans. What’s the big deal?
RIP Jim Johnson, best ever.

The colors are never that far off that people really notice. I don’t. And I certainly don’t go looking for people whose jerseys are slightly discolored. I don’t really care if I order an Eagles home jersey and it is Olive green. I’m still paying $200 less than what NFL shop is charging.

I just bought a winter classic jersey for 50 bucks online from a counterfit place. Ive seen a real one and a counterfit one side by side in person and they are exactly the same. All the patches and numbers stitched on, same color shades, and even the reebok logo on the back. Im not going to spend $220 if I don’t need to.

same here
only things I buy sports related that are real are fitteds

but I thought Lurie and Banner didnt care about the fans
On a serious note, even tho I dont have a chance to see Eagles games live, I think it is a nice gesture towards the fans.
Fans should smile
Inflation alone would suggest an uptick in prices.

True, but see it in another way, if the FO keeps the fans happy (no fan like price raising), they might by more merchandise and for a team like the Eagles, most of there revenue is from merchandise and TV revenue.

thing is, raising season ticket prices affects a relatively small part of the fanbase

As Jason says and also there’s no direct link really to suggest that will occur while a direct link to profits can be made my raising ticket prices. With all of the excess supply in the market, I’m very surprised that they are not making at least a marginal increase.

Raising ticket prices
would make everyone bitch, even though most people aren’t buying them. You know you would hear something like " They don’t give a shit about the fans, they raise prices and put out a bad product". The bad PR is not worth the extra revenue they would get.
Cowboys suck.
i wonder how much juan's getting paid
might be a lot less than the other d coord. around the league
Thank you Joe! Your such a nice man!
That was sarcasm. No shit you’re not going to raise prices. Your PR is already bad enough because of the crap season and coaching decisions. They would look like total jack-asses if they raised ticket prices.

This, but with more swearing.
AR should have to wear a Flava Flav necklace until he learns how to manage a clock.
I am the proud target of temper tantrums.
PR move
And one they kind of had to do with the way the season unfolded and then keeping around Reid/Castillo.
It has nothing to due about that. If they would sell out regardless because the NFL in general is so popular and especially in Philly. It is more of something that would have caused grumbling among the season tickets (a group the Eagles’ FO really does care about) vs. the general fan base which they can be more indifferent towards.
This is a good decision from the FO.
Unfortunately, years of bad decisions have culminated in “Juan Castillo will be our Defensive Coordinator” — and ensured that I won’t spend a dime on this team in 2012, low ticket prices or no.

Wow, really?
People bitch because … prices .. are … not… going… up?
Wow.
I would like to thank my hands for being so great, for allowing me to type this post.

Michael Floyd anybody?
Would it be a smart move to draft Michael Floyd with our 1st round?
The reason why I think this guy would be great is because he’s a big dude that fights for the ball. We don’t have a WR that’s effective in the red zone and this dude is beast. One thing I like about this dude unlike Jackson & Maclin is that Floyd turns around and fights for that ball even when he’s covered very well. We need a WR that’s built like a TE and Floyd’s that guy. What Dunta did to Jackson & Maclin won’t work with this dude, Dunta would just hurt himself. I’ll take Floyd over Blackmon in a heart beat.
Mark my words people this dude is the next Calvin Johnson.
Why waste money bringing in overpriced FA’s when we can draft a future WR.
Jackson + Floyd + Maclin + Avant= Best WR core in the NFL.
(trade or cut Cooper,Smith & Hall)
As far as LB, 2nd round is going to have some really good talent plus we can bring in Fletcher for a 2yr deal.
Chris Rainey anybody?
If we can get this dude with one of our 2nd picks than Mccoy is going to have a stellar backup. Cut Brown and bring in Rainey. I like Lewis but not this much.
The reason I like Rainey is because he can change directions and juke just like McCoy, but he’s a little faster than McCoy.
Also, having Rainey for backup would keep McCoy humble both on the field and contract time.
Eagles president Joe Banner announced that the team will not be raising season ticket prices for next season.
And, due to inflation, the Eagles will be 8-7-1 with a 2-5-1 home field record.
