The first time I sat in the LL at FedEx the had the lite-brite, then when my season tickets moved down there they have the HD screens they have now. They make all the difference in the world when you are in he LL endzone. I am now on my way out of the corner endzone, the further around you move it even gets better. Just try to move toward the home side never the visitor. All those added seats on the visitor side make concessions and bathrooms a nightmare.
Didn't see this before I left. Sorry. I just want a normal section upgrade in the LL 200's. My special request is to be in row 4 or above. They had a crane up at the stadium. It may have been for party decks not positive though because not enough was done. At the top of the ramp near the endzone by the escalator if you're familiar with it you know it has open steel supports. They were putting decking above those steel supports making the area below covered. Looks like it could be a floor for the party decks not sure though.
Unless you get lucky or had one of those club seat deals to get toward the sideline you have to go through the corner. I was in 230 2 years ago, then 235, last year 236, this year I'm hoping for 237.
I think if you get hold of the right person at the right time you got a real chance. If you at first get a no, don't give up. Try for another agent at another time. Hope it happens for you!
If you seats are endzone I'd say it doable with a lot of negotiating on the phone. If you're trying for sideline I'd be surprised if it happens. This is assuming you had no agreement with them beforehand of course.
They must be getting there data from the highest priced resale outlets, or what is asked, not what the sale was, or the data is from the NFL. You are LUCKY to average face value resale on LL tickets, forget upper level ones.
It will be interesting to see if this is an anomaly and things go back to how they were the last couple season, or if this becomes a trend. The Eagles tix are still about what history would suggest, but it is early still.
I was in 230 before 235, and before 230 I was in 454.
My season ticket progress is as follows;
2004 411
2005 454
2006 454
2007 454 was able to get green parking ( I think it was this year, it was the great green giveaway)
2008 454
2009 230
2010 235
2011 236
Well knock me over with a feather. Just got a call from a very nice lady at the ticket office. She told me 2 seats in my recently upgraded section that were closer to the 50 yard line side of the section came open and she wanted to know if it was all right for her to move me to those. I said SURE! So I was was upgraded a section closer to the 50 and then moved closer within the same row this year. Not used to calls like this. I usually am the one calling.

Congrats to all the new season ticket holders. I started of in 418 row 28 in 2004, I'm in 236 row 2 now, bad times make for good upgrades. Hope it pays of and we have a winner one day!
The cost increase was $29.90. I would have been fine if he'd just made the ticket $110 face and been done with it. The whole break out the tax thing was done as a diversion to deflect the total price increase.
Another thought just occurred to me. Is the face value of the ticket what the teams use to determine the split between the home and away teams? Maybe by pulling the tax out he saved a load of cash he would have had to split with the visiting teams too.
Was tax ever printed on the ticket??

So the actual increase in the cost of the ticket to the consumer was $29.90, but the skins said hey it's only a $20 increase because the rest is taxes. Just forget that those used to be included.
What if your bill was $95 per month including tax and you received a notice saying we a splitting the 10% tax out and your bill is now $104.50. Who just got the extra dough?
It was a way to hide a price increase. When they pulled the tax out of the face value the face value did not go down. So any way you cut it it was an increase in the ticket price. I just thought it was a shady way to go about it.
