Eagles not raising ticket prices

Say what you will about that much-criticized Eagles front office — at least they are not hitting fans where it hurts this season. The team announced Tuesday that it would not be raising ticket prices.

The Eagles haven’t done that since prior to the 2009 campaign, a span of four seasons. Eagles season ticket holders will be sent their invoices for the 2012
season this week.

“We appreciate our great fans and our loyal season ticket holders,” said Eagles president Joe Banner. “We understand that this is a difficult economy, and we’re grateful that fans still turned out this season in sell-out numbers to support the Eagles. Holding the line on pricing for another year was one way we could thank Philadelphia fans for their continued support. We are looking forward to another exciting season of Eagles football at Lincoln Financial Field in 2012.”

Memo to Joe Banner: Another way you can show your grateful is to fire Andy Reid.
