As you’re well aware by now, the 2017 NFL Draft is being hosted in Philadelphia. In preparation for the big event, a press conference was held on Tuesday announcing details you need to know if you plan to be among the 200,000 people expected to attend.

HOW TO GET NFL DRAFT TICKETS

One BGN reader already put together a guide of how to get tickets. Spoiler: it’s not easy to get them.

More info from the NFL:

A limited number of tickets will be made available for the theater. Information regarding obtaining these tickets will be released in the weeks ahead. No tickets are required for the free NFL Draft Experience. In early March, fans may download the NFL Draft – Fan Mobile Pass app at NFL.com/FanMobilePass. By registering for Fan Mobile Pass, fans are not only eligible to win tickets to the 2017 NFL Draft, but also receive exclusive access to all of the action at NFL Draft Experience.

NFL DRAFT PARTY (BGN Radio)

BGN Radio’s draft party isn’t officially affiliated with the NFL Draft Experience in any form, but we’d love to have you join us. We hope to host a party somewhere in the city. Official details coming soon.
