Today I secured both events! Thanks to 10C for the tickets to the Temple show. Then my buddy hooked me up with his Seahawks tickets for the Eagles at Seahawks game! It's going to be a long great day!!

    Would like to try to do both, but the Seahawks tickets might end up being a little out of my price range.

    I'm flying in from New York, bought a ticket to the game, lost the lottery, still coming, hoping I can get a ticket to the show.

    I'll be at both. If youve never been to a Seahawks home game, just get yourself inside the stadium. You'll have a great time.

    Cool. I wouldn't mind being all the way back. I just want to be there but not spend over $200 Canadian plus another $30 CDN on just 3 bottles of water. :p

    They were probably SRO tickets.

    Prices have been insane (for all games) since 2012. Prior to that year, you could barely get rid of tickets for face value. You could just buy season tickets without a wait list! Since that year, when Russell Wilson came to town, there are 12,000 people on the waiting list, and an almost unbelievable demand for every game, the cheapest games on the secondary market usually start around $220 (for $90 seats) and go up to $400 for high demand games.

    What's really screwed things for the average fan is Ticketmaster. They used to release tickets from time to time (after games had sold out) for face value (when visiting teams don't use their allotment, etc..like the week before a game), but now when they release seats, use something called a "competitive market price" or something stupid like that, which results in Ticketmaster pricing their direct to market tickets based on the current market prices of Stubhub or NFL ticket exchange instead of the actual price. So for the Eagles game, even when you click on the button "turn resale off" (the little red circle), you'll see that Ticketmaster still has some seats for sale directly from them in the back rows, but instead of charging face value, they charge an amount that fluctuates daily.

    I am a season ticket holder, and my seats are way up in the upper deck at about the 40 yard line, my face value is about $90-$100 per seat, but for those same seats, Ticketmaster is currently charging about $255. It's almost criminal.

    Tickets sometimes go down in the weeks before the games, but never really dip below $200. Sorry for the gloomy outlook, but thought you should know.

    Also as someone else noted, even seats in the back are fantastic, but I would try and stay somewhere between the 20 yard lines if possible. Better to be higher up with a side view of the field, than be lower down but in the end zones/corners.

    Good luck finding tickets everyone!

    yah it looks like the cheapest remaining tickets are in the ends or corners. Still around 200 USD a pop. I'm going to figure this out though.... I'm already spending all the gas/ferry/food money on going to ToTD so the marginal cost of seeing seahawks game is only the ticket price and maybe a beer or two.

    I'd wait to buy

    I predict Seahawks have a bad year due to their QB's nuts in a jar by his new wife ;) Tix should drop

    Man talk about too much info on " we are not banging" oh we just got married " we banged so hard last night"

    he's a weird dude

    I sort of have to wait a bit... because of how much money I've already been blowing... sometimes there's too many tickets left on stubhub and people sell below face closer to the game.

    I got those high up seats a week prior for around $120....it was a big divisional game on SNF TOO

    Not Bad

    Ughh, he does so much good in the community, but then looks like such a tool sometimes on social media, its cringeworthy. He needs to another PR person just to filter/censor any posts about Ciara. I suggest Marshawn lynch.

    I'm only here so I don't get fined. I'm only here so I don't get fined.

    lol. I respected that so much.... Most sports players do interviews because they have to, and all the spew out are complete useless sayings, terms whatever. They never say anything of real substance. If they do then the world jumps on them. Lynch not doing interviews reminded of Pearl Jam's pullback in the 90's. If you don't like doing it, then don't.

    I feel super fortunate to get these Hawks tickets as an early birthday present from a season ticket holder friend! This show and the game are 5 days before my birthday.

    Nice! Mine is November 9, so this'll be a bit of a post-bday bonanza! Hoping to maybe make it to the SF show too for a bday getaway.

    Will keep checking every few day's for cheap seats. Blows my mind the CDN dollar is still around the .76 - .77 cents for a while now. :/

    If anyone (unlikely) won the 10c lottery and ends up scoring TM seats today, I have a good friend who is a season ticket holder and desperately wants to go to ToTD, he asked me to post that he'd gladly trade his seats to the game for tickets to the show.

    I agree, I like Russell on the field but I just can't stand to hear him talk with all his cliches and robotic like statements. Well, as long as he keeps winning us games, I'll endure his cringe inducing comments.

    In regard to tickets, the only tickets I can afford are the pre-season games which are about $70. It gives me a chance to experience the stadium atmosphere (which is almost just like a regular season game) and depending on which game you go to, you can see the starters play at least for one half. I was told the third pre-season game is the best one to go to. The worst is the fourth when most of the starters rest up for the regular season.
