Most of the Eagles' single-game tickets "quickly sold-out at face-value prices" when they went on sale Thursday morning, meaning "all that remained were higher-priced seats through Ticketmaster's verified resale website," according to Rob Tornoe of the PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER. Many fans trying to purchase tickets "came away with nothing but frustration." An Eagles spokesperson said that the team's box office "didn't receive any complaints from fans unable to purchase tickets," as the "bulk of complaints were directed at Ticketmaster itself." The spokesperson confirmed that there were "no site crashes or technical issues like those that greeted fans who attempted to purchase tickets" through Ticketmaster's U.K. website for the team's London game. However, many fans "vented their outrage at Ticketmaster after facing slow load times, spinning wheels and frozen webpages, which they said prevented them from securing tickets at face value." There are "plenty of tickets available on resale websites, including Ticketmaster's, which has opening-game tickets in the 200 section for about $250 each Thursday afternoon" (PHILLY.com, 5/10).
