NFL Urges Eagles to Raise Ticket Prices Amid Super Bowl Victory and High Demand

Philadelphia, PA – March 27, 2025, 09:30 AM PDT
The NFL has reportedly urged the Philadelphia Eagles to increase ticket prices at Lincoln Financial Field for the 2025 season, citing the team’s recent Super Bowl LIX victory and their current pricing being below the league average, sources told ESPN on Thursday. The league’s request comes as the Eagles’ fanbase, already one of the most passionate in the NFL, is expected to drive unprecedented demand following the championship run.

The Eagles, who defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX, have solidified their status as a top draw in the league. However, their average ticket price for the 2024 season was $252, significantly lower than the NFL average of $377, according to TicketSmarter data. High-demand teams like the Las Vegas Raiders ($582) and Kansas City Chiefs ($578) have capitalized on fan interest, while the Eagles’ pricing remains modest despite their success (web ID: 8). “The NFL sees the Eagles as a marquee team now—they just won the Super Bowl, and their fanbase is rabid,” an NFL executive reportedly said. “They should be charging more to reflect that demand.”

The league’s push aligns with the broader trend of rising NFL ticket prices, which have increased 39% over the past decade, outpacing inflation. With the Eagles’ 18 wins in 2024 tying the NFL record and stars like Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts drawing massive crowds, the NFL believes higher prices could maximize revenue while managing fan access through dynamic pricing models (web ID: 6, 12). However, Eagles fans on X are wary. “$252 is already steep—don’t price us out!” posted @EaglesNation. Another fan countered, “We’re champs—people will pay!” (@PhillyFanatic). As the Eagles prepare for the 2025 season, the team faces a delicate balance between capitalizing on their success and keeping games accessible for loyal fans.
