Football fans shut out by the rapid-fire pace that tickets for Sunday's Cardinals-Eagles game sold still have hope on the secondary market.
Thousands of tickets are available at online resale sites such as StubHub and RazorGator.
The 6,000 or so tickets sold on StubHub as of Monday afternoon apparently speak to tough economic times as fans weigh attending Sunday's game against making a tidy profit.
The sales volume also might say something about the loyalty of Arizona ticket holders.
Few Green Bay Packers fans are ever willing to part with their tickets, StubHub spokesman Sean Pate said. As a result, StubHub's average price to last year's NFC Championship between Green Bay and the New York Giants was $710.
This year's average resale price on StubHub is about $320, lower in part because so many tickets are available on the secondary market. In fact, the game is the lowest priced championship that Pate has seen in years and less than the AFC Championship between Pittsburgh and Baltimore, where ticket resales are averaging $380.
