Eagles Owner Jeffrey Lurie Announces Ticket Price Reductions for Disabled Fans and Families Facing Hardship

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. –August 27, 2025
 In a heartfelt and powerful announcement, Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie has unveiled a groundbreaking initiative aimed at ensuring no fan is left behind. The team will now offer discounted tickets specifically for disabled fans and families facing financial hardship, reaffirming the organization’s commitment to inclusivity, fairness, and community support for all members of the Eagles nation.

With the rising costs of attending live sporting events, many fans have struggled to keep up with ticket prices, parking, and concessions. The Eagles are pushing back against those barriers with a bold move to make Lincoln Financial Field more accessible, allowing fans from all walks of life to experience the unmatched energy of Fly Eagles Fly.

“FOOTBALL IN PHILADELPHIA IS FOR EVERYONE,” LURIE DECLARED. “NO FAN SHOULD EVER FEEL LEFT OUT. WE ARE PROUD TO OFFER DISCOUNTED TICKETS FOR DISABLED FANS AND FAMILIES IN NEED, BECAUSE THE EAGLES AREN’T JUST A TEAM — WE ARE A FAMILY. AND WHEN EVERYONE IS INCLUDED, PHILLY IS STRONGER.”

Program Details

The initiative provides a 25% discount on single-game tickets for disabled individuals and veterans, including up to two companion tickets at the same rate. Eligible fans can apply directly through the Eagles’ official website, with a verification process in place. The discount applies to all home games, including marquee divisional matchups against the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants, though seating is limited to designated areas to ensure fairness.

Community Response

Local veteran organizations and disability advocacy groups quickly applauded the decision. “For many of our members, attending an Eagles game has always felt out of reach,” said Michael Carter, director of the Philadelphia Veterans Network. “Now more of our veterans can live the Fly Eagles Fly spirit in person.”

Similarly, AccessPhilly, a local disability rights group, praised the move, calling it “a step toward making Lincoln Financial Field a true home for every fan.”

Beyond Ticket Discounts

The Eagles also announced additional accessibility upgrades at the stadium, including expanded wheelchair-accessible seating, sensory-friendly zones for neurodiverse fans, and enhanced mobility assistance services. These improvements complement the ticket program, reinforcing the team’s commitment to creating an inclusive, welcoming game-day environment.

Lurie’s Broader Vision

For over three decades, Jeffrey Lurie has emphasized the Eagles’ role as a bridge to the Philadelphia community. “Philly is about toughness, but it’s also about togetherness,” he said. “We want every fan — from veterans who served our country to individuals who’ve overcome their own battles — to feel proud wearing midnight green and to feel at home inside the Linc.”

As the Eagles prepare for another high-stakes NFL season, this bold step ensures that Lincoln Financial Field remains more than just a stadium. It is a place where all of Philadelphia can come together to celebrate football, community, and the unbreakable spirit of Eagles Nation.

Eagles Announce Internal Discipline for Zack Baun After “Unnecessary Roughness” Hit in Broncos Game
Following a controversial late hit in their recent matchup against the Denver Broncos, the Philadelphia Eagles have announced internal disciplinary action for linebacker Zack Baun. The move comes in response to a “cheap shot” that drew league penalties and widespread criticism. Instead of waiting for the NFL’s ruling, the franchise imposed its own set of punishments — a decisive move meant to demonstrate accountability while protecting the roster. During the fourth quarter of the October 5 game, with just over two minutes remaining and Denver facing a 3rd-and-2, Baun delivered a late helmet-to-helmet hit on Broncos running back Javonte Williams as he stretched for a first down. The hit was flagged as unnecessary roughness, gifting Denver a 15-yard penalty and an automatic first down. According to team officials, Baun will face a $20,000 internal fine, an amount estimated to be between 20–50% of his weekly salary. The proceeds will be directed toward team-affiliated charities, including the Eagles Autism Foundation. In addition, the linebacker has been ordered to issue a public apology — either at a press conference or through an official social media statement — acknowledging his actions and apologizing directly to Williams, the Broncos, and the league.👉FULL VIDEO: https://x.com/i/status/1974935090724753440  Baun himself admitted fault after the game, saying:“That was a dumb mistake. I was just trying to stop the first down, but I went over the line. I’ll learn from this.” Head coach Nick Sirianni stressed that while Baun remains an important piece of the defense, discipline and composure are non-negotiable:“Zack is a great player, but we have to follow the rules. This is a lesson for the whole team on maintaining control in high-pressure situations.” The episode highlights the NFL’s growing emphasis on player safety and the stricter enforcement of rules aimed at limiting dangerous hits. For the Eagles, it is also a reminder of the importance of accountability — even when it comes from within. With Baun now under heightened scrutiny, the franchise will look to put this incident behind them quickly as they prepare for their upcoming stretch of games.
