Tickets For Sunday Night Football Vs. Giants Is Most Expensive Eagles Game Of 2014
Provided by TiqIQ
A pivotal NFC East matchup will take place this weekend when the Philadelphia Eagles host the New York Giants at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday. The game will be televised in prime-time for Sunday Night Football as two of the NFC’s hottest teams take the stage beginning at 8:30pm. The Eagles will welcome the Giants in their most expensive remaining home game on the secondary market, serving as the final home game on the Philadelphia Eagles schedule that will exceed the $250 average price plateau.
According to TiqIQ, the average price for Eagles vs. New York Giants tickets is $277.67 on the secondary market, surpassing the season average of $217.26 for Eagles tickets at home by 27.8%. The get-in price for the game begins at $121, which will also be the most expensive among all remaining Eagles games and the only one to have a get-in price over $100. The Eagles will host their second most expensive game against another divisional opponent in the Cowboys on December 14 as that game currently has a secondary average of $242.92, but the team’s illustrious 81-year rivalry with the Giants has elicited the biggest price premium for tickets at Lincoln Financial Field over the remaining regular season.
The Eagles host their second consecutive home game after sneaking away with a six-point win over the struggling Rams in Philadelphia last Sunday. The team sits at 4-1 and owns first-place honors in the NFC East, though this weekend’s battle with the Giants will be integral in retaining that lead as the Giants continue to improve with each passing week. Big Blue heads south on the New Jersey Turnpike with a 3-2 record heading into Week 6 after accumulating three consecutive wins against the Texans, Redskins and Falcons over the last three weeks. They’ll hope to rekindle their surging on-field success as they travel down I-95 to play their third road game of the season.
The two teams met twice last season and split wins on the road, with the Eagles taking a victory at MetLife Stadium in Week 5 and the Giants winning in Philadelphia in Week 8. The Giants had a horrid start to their season in 2013 but regained their footing in later weeks, ultimately concluding with a 7-9 record. The Eagles took first place in the division, though exited the postseason early after the Saints defeated the team in a Wild Card matchup. This year has played a different tune in the NFC East, however, as relatively strong competitors are abundant in the division. The Cowboys are also poised to make a run with the Eagles and Giants as they enter Week 6 with a 4-1 record.
Some doubt has been placed in the Eagles after their rocky win against the Rams last week, but a visit from the rival Giants will undoubtedly bring a different level of excitement and hype to Lincoln Financial Field this weekend. As the two teams prepare to battle each other for the 165th time in NFL history, the Giants will look to improve on their all-time 85-77-2 lead over the Eagles, though its fourth win of the season won't come easy in the hostile environment of Philadelphia.
