Eagles Season Tickets Getting Easier To Come By?
The Inquirer is reporting this morning that Personal Seat Licenses (or as the Eagles prefer to call them “Stadium Builder Licenses”) for seats at Lincoln Financial Field are dropping like so many balls thrown to L.J. Smith.
Before the Linc opened in 2003, the Eagles managed to sell seat licenses for 29,000 of the stadium’s 68,000 seats, according to the Philadelphia Business Journal. Seat licensing at new stadiums has became a very popular way to procure revenue for sports franchises, and the Eagles were able to sell $70 million worth of licenses during the initial sale.
The team’s success, though, and a booming economy created an open market that saw prices jump from an average of $2,233 in 2002 to $7,300 in 2007. An 8-8 record in 2007 partly accounted for a fall to $4,700. As of last week, Season Ticket Rights has bartered 2009 SBLs for an average of $3,800.
This may be the time to buy if you’re considering season tickets for the Eagles. However, I look at these prices – which do not include the ticket, only the right to plant your ass in the seat – and my 50” plasma and beer meister look like the wisest investments of my life.

One Comment so far ...
It’s a bullshit article. It mainly talks about Club seating SBLs, which are always easy to come by. Lower Level yard line seats still command a hefty premium.
