RE: 2018 season: Twitter is ablaze

Eagles vs either Titans or Jags in London. Official announcement on Thursday. Both are road games for the Birds. We’ve got a HUGE following over here in the UK. Several of us in London get together at the Hippodrome casino to watch their games on NFL Gamepass when they’re not on TV. We’re getting together Saturday for the Atlanta game and several of us are talking about getting a hospitality package if they do indeed come over here.

What are the ticket prices there?

I would not want to sit in nosebleeds.

If I attended, I would probably want to visit Spain for a few days before or after the game.

Thinking about it, one of the worst security experiences I ever had was at Heathrow.

Really? If anything we thought that security was too permissive when we visited in October. They didn't even check our bags.

Yes. the dbag confiscated my solution for my contact lenses, despite it being under the size limit and labeled as such. I would have argued but I was pressed for time to make a connection.

Then the airline lost my checked luggage after the transfer at Heathrow. So I had no contact lens solution. It's not easy to find the stuff I needed. Asshole.

Single seat tickets are going to be about the same as they are over there. $85-$95.

Will be interesting to see what flights and hoteys will cost.

I don't know what airline you usually fly on your trips to Spain, but there is Icelandair that flies out of Philly to London now at a very reasonable price. You have about an hour and a half layover in Rekyviik, but that's it. Norweigan out of New York is also cheap--they fly the Dreamliners. WOW--which is a subsidiary of Icelandair that flies out of Baltimore is also very cheap. As far as hotels go, my advice is to go with Travelodge or Premier Inn--they're the only hotel chain that charges like those in the States--per room per night and not per person per room per night. I flew WOW from Baltimore back to London in 2015 and I flew Icelandair in 2016 to Philly--but it was before they had a London-Philly route. That didn't open up until last year. I flew to New York and took a Greyhound from the Port Authority.

Is it going to be hard to get tickets?

[Overbrook]

Might not be too difficult

Is it going to be hard to get tickets?

Since Teresa May has started this whole “kneeling when the Queen enters the stadium” rant.

The Conservatives are up in arms.

[Susquehanna Birder]

I'm wondering that as well. Would love to bring Philly gayting to the U.K.

[3rd & Inches]

I was looking to get tickets for both games, not leaving the country tho.

[bobbyuk]

They usually put hospitality tickets on sale at the end of Jan-mid Feb after they confirm all of the teams. Single game tickets usually go on sale between May-June. It hasn’t been too difficult to get tickets. I got tickets during the 09 season to see the Pats-Bucs and my daughter got us tickets this year in late Sept to see Browns-Vikings at Twickenham in October.

What is a hospitality ticket?

I fully expect to be hoisting Boddingtons with you whilst eating Zubaz homemade Yorkshire Pudding prior to the Football Contest.
