kk.GOOD NEWS: Philadelphia Eagles owпer – Jeffrey Lυrie aпd his wife have aппoυпced a $5 ticket day at Liпcolп Fiпaпcial Field
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – January 7, 2026
In a heartwarming gesture that has ignited joy across Philadelphia, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and his wife, Tina Lai Lurie, have announced a special “$5 Ticket Day” at Lincoln Financial Field — making live NFL football accessible to thousands of low-income families who have never had the chance to experience a game in person.
The initiative, revealed this morning in a joint statement from the Lurie family, will designate one regular-season home game in 2026 with tickets priced at just $5 each for qualifying families through partnerships with local nonprofits, schools, and community organizations.
“This city has given our family so much love and support over the years,” Jeffrey Lurie said. “It’s time we give back in a meaningful way. We want every child in Philadelphia — no matter their circumstances — to have the opportunity to feel the electricity of Lincoln Financial Field, cheer for the Birds, and create memories that last a lifetime.”
The move addresses a long-standing barrier: the high cost of NFL tickets, which often prices out working-class families in a city where Eagles fandom runs deep across generations. Organizers estimate the program will distribute over 20,000 discounted tickets, prioritizing first-time attendees and households facing financial hardship.
Fans erupted in celebration online, calling it “one of the most generous and meaningful gestures in Eagles history.” #LurieLegacy and #EaglesForAll trended nationwide, with thousands sharing personal stories of longing to bring their kids to a game but never being able to afford it.
“This is what being an Eagle is about — community, heart, and lifting each other up,” one viral post read. “Jeffrey Lurie just made dreams come true for so many Philly kids.”
Tina Lai Lurie, who has long championed youth and family causes, added: “We’ve seen how sports can inspire and unite. This isn’t just about football — it’s about giving families a day they’ll never forget, together.”
The Luries’ philanthropy through the Eagles Charitable Foundation has long supported education, youth development, and social justice initiatives, but this direct ticket program marks a new level of accessibility.
As Philadelphia prepares for another playoff push, the announcement serves as a reminder: in a city defined by passion and perseverance, the Lurie family is ensuring no true fan gets left behind.
Applications for $5 tickets will open later this season through the Eagles’ official website and partner organizations.
For thousands of families, game day just became possible — and the Linc is about to get a whole lot louder with new voices cheering “Fly Eagles Fly.” 🦅❤️
