Philadelphia Eagles sell out their open training camp dates

Whether it’s preseason, regular season, or practice, Philadelphia Eagles fans will undoubtedly show up and show out.

Typically, the NFL offseason is a nice break for the fans to take some time away from the stress that their favorite team brings. Once those hot August days start approaching though, everybody starts to itch for football season. With the NFL Draft and the free agency period behind us, the Philadelphia Eagles are preparing to head into training camp a couple of weeks from now.

It feels like forever since the last time the Eagles held training camp practices open to the public. Ever since they entered into the Nova Care Complex, they put an end to their offseason practices being out in Lehigh Valley. Back in those days, Eagles fans could attend to watch their team prepare for the season. They also had the opportunity to meet some of their favorite players after practice concluded.

Nowadays, the team likes to keep things more private. Therefore, fans are almost left starving for the preseason to approach. But to hold over some of the fans that can hardly wait for Eagles football, the team always holds a practice or two at Lincoln Financial Field. While the turnout is ordinarily decent, the fans really raised the bar last season with a record of over 23,000 in attendance. That happened after a 7-9 season.

Now, with a Super Bowl win, they knew they had to ditch the first come-first serve routine this time around. Therefore, the Eagles allowed Ticketmaster to issue the tickets online to control how many people will show up. In a matter of minutes, the two dates for Eagles open training camp at the Linc sold out. With the high demand, there are already tickets being re-sold online.

You have to pay for practice?!

Considering that the Eagles sell out their regular season tickets in a matter of seconds, it wasn’t surprising to know that they ran out of free tickets. Being that the demand to see the Super Bowl champions as soon as possible would be high, some “fans” are attempting to profit off of the free tickets that were issued earlier on Wednesday morning.

At this point, the only way ticket-less fans can attend is to buy a ticket online. Considering that the Eagles might’ve only opened up a limited amount of space in the stadium for the event, maybe they would consider an extended amount of fans. As of right now, there are no plans to issue more tickets, but we can’t imagine the Eagles not taking advantage of a potential full house next month.
