Season Tickets

1fan4ramsey · Post by **1fan4ramsey** » Fri Jun 10, 2005 7:59 pm

Hi guys, I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this question but I have a season ticket question. I've been on the ticket waiting list for about 15 years, I just recieved a letter today stating my tickets are available. On the form it asks if I want endzone for $490, or sideline for $640. I'm assuming both are nosebleed seets. Does it justify the additional money for sideline? Also, is anyone familiar with how this process works, once I send the money is that all I'm going to have to pay or is this just the begining, ie. hidden paperwork fees, seat lisence fees and such. One more thing, given these seats are probably not the best, do you think I'll be able to atleast get my money back by selling them on eBay if I can't make it to the game? I'm thinking about getting 4 seats together, but doubt my family will be able to make the majority of games. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

To answer one of your questions. If you believe the Redskins will start winning - you buy the tickets. Tickets are much more valuable during winning season. If it was my decision I would buy the tickets and take my friends (if family did not want to attend).

If the Redskins start winning...you'll make your money back on the Dallas game alone. You should be able to get face value or more on opening day regardless.

If they look like they'll be out of playoff contention by midseason, you're going to have to practically give the tickets away. I've got incredible seats late in the season because Johnny Bandwagon, the season ticket holder, doesn't support his team during losing seasons...so I've got $100+ seats for $20.

The best thing you can get as far as resale value is the parking pass (aka the Tailgating Pass)...those can sell for over $50 a game regardless of their record.

Hope that helps.

Well, I just took the plunge. I just bought 4 seats in Section 408. I have been told by friends that you need to start in the Upper level or club level. You can eventually move down later. I recieved the same letter. I have been on the waiting list for 10 + years. They do not have many groups of tickets yet, so if you are gonna buy them, do it soon!

Season tickets for 4 seats for $490 or $640?????? I would take either one in a second! That is something new to me I had no idea you could get season tickets for that cheap. I'm paying $1600 for 2 seats but they are section 222 lower level. I would of never thought they had season tickets for that cheap,(Including Dan's nice obstructed views). Nosebleed or not it's the skins, TAKE THEM QUICKLY!!! Congrats on your letter!

hey guys, do you know if there is a way to find out what position on the list you are in?

i think i used an email address that is no longer valid to sign up for the waiting list. Is there a way to change that? I checked around on the redskins.com website, but i didnt see anything.

went tto one game last year, and loved it.

Take the tickets. They're priceless (and not in the credit card advertisement sense). Keep them. Go to the Dallas game. Watch the Redskins pound the Dallas-ans. Imagine how happy you'll be having been there.

Those prices are for 1 seat in the 400 level. Endzone is $490, sideline view is $640. So for 4 I'd be paying around $2000. I think I'm only getting 2, we live about 3 hours away and have 2 kids that are active on the weekends. I'll probably only make it to the division games and take 1 of the kids. My wife won't let me get all 4 for fear of not being able to sell and recoup costs. If the Redskins have a good year I could probably get back what we paid, but if they stink and not making the playoffs, I probably would have a hard time giving those games away towards the end of the season. :roll:

As to whether or not it is worth the extra money is a matter of personal preference.

The problem with end zone is that the game is played on the opposite side of the field half the time, but you can really see the plays develop as they are designed.

I prefer sideline seats because I think you get a picture of the overall game better, but not to speak for DEHog, but I believe he prefers the end zone.

Greetings from NYC: We bought our tickets last year in section 429. We travel back to NYC 3 and 1/2 hours after the game. Best investment I ever made. Congrats and welcome aboard!

I am always a listening buyer - On the waiting list still, and probably will be for 10-15 years yet.

So if anyone ever wants to sell tickets at face value, I will buy them. You'll get your money back and have true fan in burgundy and gold out there in the stands!

Peace!

Yeah i always like to hear of some face value tickets that are available.

Pay extra for sideline! My first set of tix was high up in endzone and, frankly, they sucked. Next year we switched to sideline view. About the 25 yardline. They were about 6 rows higher but still MUCH better.

As far as costs, you should be able to dump them for face w/out much prob especially if you sell before the season.

Do you know anyone you can go in with? I split mine w/ a buddy. He gets 4, I get 4 and we take each other to one of each of our games so we actually get to see 5 of the 8 home games and it helps defer some cost.

Got them, section 412, am I going to be able to bring my kids (ages 11 & 9), or is this like the 700 level at the vet in Philly? You know, boozing, drunken, yelling profanity type.

Have season tickets already been mailed out? If not, when do they usually arrive?
