The Philadelphia Eagles have some hurdles to climb to get back into the NFC playoff picture. After a huge upheaval of the roster that saw the departures of starting quarterback Nick Foles, starting running back LeSean McCoy and others, Eagles head coach Chip Kelly has to get a new group on the same page in a short amount of time.
One factor of their season that has already gone their way is their travel schedule. In an article published on CBSSports.com, the Eagles are the least-traveled team during the 2015 NFL season. The Eagles will travel an estimated 6,818 miles, which, when in comparison with San Francisco’s NFL-leading 27,998 miles, isn’t much distance at all.
With that in mind, below are the most expensive Eagles tickets on the secondary market for their road games according to TiqIQ.com, in conjunction with travel options provided by Hipmunk.com.
12/6/2015 | New England Patriots vs. Philadelphia Eagles | Gillette Stadium | Average Price: $369.96 | Get-in Price: $148
The Eagles face the defending Super Bowl Champions in their most expensive road game of the season. Road tripping is an option, as the estimated 300-mile trip would take about five-and-a half hours by car. On the contrary, Roundtrip Boston flights take less than an hour-and-a-half, and are priced around $135 on Hipmunk.com. This might be a road game worth attending for Eagles fans.
11/8/2015 | Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles | AT&T Stadium | Average Price: $276.99 | Get-in Price: $79
Just about 1,500 miles of the Philadelphia’s estimated 6,818 miles on the season will come during their trip to Dallas in November. The three-hour-and-20-minute nonstop flights to Dallas will cost in the vicinity of $275 on Hipmunk. The Eagles defeated the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium last season in a 33-10 romp.
1/3/2016 | New York Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles | MetLife Stadium | Average Price: $254.70 | Get-in Price: $87
Another division rivalry makes the list and is also the shortest trip of the three games. The less-than-100-mile trip up the New Jersey Turnpike would take just around two hours by car. With round trip pricing on flights to New York costing over $350, Eagles fans would be better off making a road trip out of Philadelphia’s annual trip to MetLife Stadium.
