So You Want to Fly with the Eagles: A (Slightly Dramatic) Guide to Securing Philly Season Tickets
Ah, the dream. Every Sunday (well, most Sundays), Lincoln Financial Field erupts in a glorious cacophony of wing sauce, J-E-A-T-S chants, and the faint whiff of desperation for that rogue cheesesteak someone smuggled in. You want to be a part of it, a card-carrying member of the Flock? Well, my friend, the quest for Eagles season tickets is a noble one, but be warned: it's not for the faint of heart (or empty wallet).

The Two Great Tastes That Taste Like Philly Football: SBLs and the Waiting List
There are two main paths to Eagles season ticket nirvana: Stadium Builder Licenses (SBLs) and the waiting list.
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.
SBLs: These bad boys are basically lifetime rights to purchase season tickets in certain sections. Think of them as family heirlooms, except instead of a dusty old brooch, you get the best seats in the house (or at least the ones that haven't been passed down for generations). The only problem? Most SBLs were snatched up faster than Donovan McNabb could scramble out of a pocket. Your best bet for finding one is the secondary market, which can range from "totally reasonable" to "I need to sell a kidney."
The Waiting List: Ah, the waiting list. With over 40,000 accounts strong, it's basically a competition to see who can outlast a Rocky Balboa montage. The good news? There is some movement, and you can score general admission tickets (though don't expect to be high-fiving Jalen Hurts). The bad news? Let's just say your grandkids might be the ones rocking those Eagles jerseys in the Linc stands.
Pro Tip: Get on the waiting list anyway. It's free, and who knows, maybe you'll win the lottery or accidentally invent a teleportation device that beams you directly to the Linc.
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
Desperate Times, Desperate Measures (Don't Actually Do These)
Look, we all get impatient. But before you resort to questionable tactics like befriending a season ticket holder and slowly convincing them to adopt you (it's frowned upon), here are a couple of realistic options:
Tip: Take notes for easier recall later.
- Hit Up the Secondary Market: Sites like StubHub and SeatGeek can be your friends. Prices will fluctuate, so be prepared to play the waiting game (again) and snag a deal when it pops up.
- Become a Superfan (with Benefits): The Eagles offer various memberships that come with perks like priority access to single-game tickets. It's not quite a season ticket, but hey, it's a step in the right direction (and you get a snazzy T-shirt).
How to FAQs:
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.
- How do I get on the waiting list? Contact the Eagles Ticket Office at 215-463-5500 or waitinglist@philadelphiaeagles.com.
- How much does an SBL cost? Prices vary wildly depending on location and seller. Let's just say, plan accordingly.
- How long is the waitlist? Unfortunately, there's no magic answer. It could be years, it could be decades. Patience is key.
- Are there any payment plans for SBLs? This depends on the seller, but it's not a common option.
- Is there a discount for buying multiple season tickets? Nope, all Eagles fans pay the same price (though, some might argue emotional distress over a bad call deserves a discount).
