Eagles tickets sell out fast again

At 10 this morning, Eagles single-game tickets went up for grabs online and by phone through Ticketmaster.

By 10:30, only isolated seats - no two together - remained for an assortment of regular season games.

At that point, the only game clearly marked "sold out" by Ticketmaster was the Oct. 3 return visit of Donovan McNabb as a Washington Redskin.

By 11, the team had announced online that all the tickets were gone - even if Ticketmaster was still displaying results to requests for single seats to the Atlanta and Houston games.

The cost was $70 to $95 each, plus taxes and fees - even for the two preseason games - with a limit of four tickets per person.

Numerous attempts yielded only busy signals through Ticketmaster's two main numbers: its national sales number (1-800-745-3000) and its "express" self-service line (1-866-448-7849).

Tickets were not be sold at Ticketmaster retail outlets or Lincoln Financial Field.

For regular season games, fans will now have to turn to friends or the secondary market - such as the Eagles Ticket Exchange through Ticketmaster, or the likes of StubHub.com.

Eagles Flight Night is another shot to see the new team at Lincoln Financial Field. It's a kind of preseason party starting at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 5, with games for children, a Wives Yard Sales with signed collectibles, giveaways and prizes, and appearances by the cheerleaders and the mascot, Swoop. Tickets are $10 for children, $20 for adults, through Ticketmaster.com.
