Let's win one for Melba!

1.  People are able to transfer the Washington Gold Pass for each game to folks if they sell their tickets.  (Wonder why you see Dallas fans clogging up the Gold Lines?????

2.  Redskins Rewards removed with no notice.

3. Redzone Not working, yet touted as a STH perk this year and again for next year.

 

1. I feel your frustration but I would let this one go. I would be equally frustrated if I wanted to email my tickets to a family member because I could not go but could not forward the Gold Pass. I mostly blame Season ticket holders for selling to Dallass fans but that is their prerogative.

2. 100% agree and have complained as well. It has nothing to do with the name or COVID. I saved points and they were deleted. At bare minimum they should have sent us WFT gear based on points saved and said here you go we are ending program. Alas I do not see this ever being fixed. I do like the new plan of rewards they have so lets see if it lives up to the billing.

3. 1000% yes. I also have heard it is the NFL and nothing they can do but come on. Its week 14, it is a perk I love and it was a slap in the face to see it advertised as a perk to renew. At this point I would think they have to send an email or something saying "hey we failed to provide a perk you love here is a discount on next years tickets equal to the cost of Redzone. Almost as frustrated as the time I spend trying to log in to see if it is fixed because they do not communicate. At least send a note saying you will tell us when it is fixed.

Generally speaking, calling anyone's fandom into question who is on this website is pretty stupid.  We're all here on this forum because we are die hards who want nothing more than this team to succeed.

I told you to get another team if they don't make you excited. And I stand by that. You questioned how that made you a fan. I think you have a guilty conscious. Stop letting Snyder control you. Have fun. It's Dallas week!

How much did you pay for your Bucs tickets and how much total money did you spend at that game?

 

I don't care how much money he makes from TV.  He's not getting a penny of my money no matter how little it may be.

I always tailgate so I also pay for parking but I never get anything inside. I don't know anyone that does not want Snyder to leave, but I also do not know any football fan of any team that goes to a game BECAUSE they want to give money to the owner. Even with a great owner has anyone said "I really want this billionaire to get some of my money"? I also believe fans of the team not going to the game will have no impact on his ownership. I think this team has tested that theory don't you. Opposing fans just fill in and lies cover his ego. 

Snyder has ruined a lot for me (and all of us) but I really enjoy tailgating and seeing a game live. I will not let him control my life and prevent me from tailgating. I do feel like cheering at the stadium has impact on the team and I am happy to give that to the team. 

Many folks prefer to watch from home and I do not begrudge anyone that. To each their own. But it was you that said you would not go for free. So why are we talking about money to Snyder? 

I started my first post with "If you can't get excited by this team" and you answered that you do. My bad for coming on strong but I take you at your word and I am glad you are enjoying this run. Aruba sounds like a great place to watch a game. Enjoy. If you were here and got free tickets I still do not understand how you would not want to see Dallas week and scream your head off but as I said to each their own. Some of us really want to be there. So if you do get the free tickets pass them to a fellow fan.

Never said I wasn't excited. 

 

Also never said I wouldn't support them.

 

I'd much rather watch the game with friends and family at my house on my 10 foot screen rather than waste a full day at FedEx giving Snyder any of my money.

 

I just watched last weeks game from Aruba last week and made it a priority to do so with 2 other die hard redskins fans.

 

So you can **** right off trying to call out someone's fandom because they don't want to waste a full ****ing day at a ****ty stadium giving Danny hundreds of dollars.

Sorry to offend you and trigger your potty mouth. Clearly you are happy go lucky and enjoy the team.

I find folks that brag about the size of their TV screen and number of friends are not worried about a thing.

Glad you are excited about the team. Personally I absolutely think fandom can be questioned but I understand some folks want to include everyone. I get crapped on all the time on here for attending games. So I admit I did/do get a little defensive.

As for Money to Danny. He gets a lot more money from TV than he does for ticket sales especially when you say you got the tickets for free! 

No matter what I definitely prefer fans who don't go to games more than those that get tickets then sell to Cowboys fans. But I guess questioning their fandom is wrong too. Please advise?

Cheers!

I wouldn't even go to the game if someone gave me free tickets lol.

Then it is time for you to find a new team. Bye Felicia.

If you can not get excited about this weeks game. And you would not even support them with a free schedule and free tickets then clearly they bring you no joy and you should move on.

Stadium is crappy, and I have a great time tailgating at the worst games. I can not wait for this Sunday.

WE WANT DALLAS!

WFT- 24

  A few years after I moved to Delaware we had kids and I had to give 'em up.  

Thats dedication, giving your kids away to keep your season tickets. They are both too expensive! LOL

My member rep has called, texted and even visited me at my tailgate. I only have uppers so maybe she wants to get me to move to club or maybe I just have a hard working ticket rep. No complaints on that end from me. 

And games like yesterday is why I am a season ticket holder. No way I go to that game if I did not already have tickets. And what a fun win aside form injuries.

I was one of the first 500 suckers to renew but I am excited to get a jersey with the new team name. Sunday she said they still had a bit to get to 500.

Hail

Maybe he has a great year next year and a great career but this injury is not good at all. Just stop it.

Fan is short for fanatic after all. They don't call us Rats as short for Rationals. LOL

I got the same answers and I am frustrated about saving up my points. Had I know!

You are right.  I should say I’m sorry.  I shouldn’t come here lambasting anyone for the choices they make, as I wouldn’t want anyone to do the same to me.

 

I would like to apologize for that.

 

I do wish, however, that fans would consider boycotting the WFT.  Don’t go to games, don’t buy the merchandise.  The NFL does watch what is going on, and it can only help the cause to get Dan Snyder out of the picture.

All good. Thanks

I have certainly considered it as it is not unreasonable as I said. I don't buy merchandise or food and drink. Merchandise is easy because who buys merch when we don't have a team name. It will be tough though if they pick Red Wolves right before the holidays (As they should) because I would want all of that. I will try to be strong....

Hey, I'm a long suffering fan who wants change to happen.  Real change.  And the only way that's gonna happen is if Dan Snyder sees the team.  We've seen great strides in the dwindling paying fan base over the years.  Gone are the long wait lists for season tickets.  Gone are the sellout crowds at Fedex Field.  the WFT now boasts the worst attendance in the entire NFL, but it is not enough.  We need more fans to stop going to games, to stop buying merchandise.  It is the only weapon we have against Dan.  And if the numbers get low enough,  maybe, just maybe, change will happen.

That is a reasonable argument. I agree nothing would be better than Dan leaving the team. I disagree he will sell based on my going to games. I do not think Dan will sell based on the money the team brings in. He just bought more stakes in the team after all. No matter what I do not have 5, 10 15 years whatever it takes of me not tailgating with friends and enjoying life on an outside hope it effects things largely out of my control. 

I have no problem and understand those who decide to spend their hard earned money elsewhere. They are no more or less fans than myself.

But you did not appeal to us as fellow fans. You came here and called us suckers. We all make mistakes in the heat of the moment but the proper response in the light of day, is "I am sorry".

Hail

Anybody still going to the games and supporting this franchise are just suckers

Anybody who comes to a season ticket holder conversation to call them names is not using their time any better than those of us who spend Sundays having fun with friends tailgating.

Who is the real sucker?

You guys crack me up. We are complaining about stands running out of cheese now? 

I don't even understand the consternation over honoring Sean Taylor. It is awesome and I don't see why I would need more advance notice. I am a fan and have season tickets and go to games though. Are there people that would have traveled to this game only because they are retiring 21?

Looking forward to the ceremony.

Got an update today that Redzone Mobile is still not working and apologies. And this as a follow up to my unused rewards points.

"The rewards program was primarily game day experiences and branded gear so with covid preventing us from having game day experiences like field passes, tunnel passes, and flag experience; and our rebrand still in progress, we retired the program but are working to create an enhanced game day for gold members.  

For this year, our leadership team has decided to plan more Gold Membership Events where there will be opportunities to get select items and to have some fun at this exclusive member only event. We will have more information coming halfway through the football season for these new gold member events."

So much for those points I guess.

I have a Redzone pass for face value! $50

So I picked up an extra ticket to bring my daughters to the game tonight.  Managed to snag a Club level seat for $27 after fees on TM.    Not sure if its new or not but they have a stand just for gold members on the club level which has free food.  Peanuts, Popcorn, chips, soda, Gatorade, water, hotdogs, nachos, chicken fingers and fries a few different wraps.  They also had a private bar for Gold members that had some of those items too.   I also noticed 2 sections that had soda refill machines for Gold Members.  Was able to bring a bunch of food down to the wife and daughter, so short of buying some ice cream, dinner was basically free.

They did it in 2019 as well. It is great but they always waiver on if you can access it if you don't have club seats. I have gotten in several times and been turned away several others.

I got my Gameday Pass email a few days ago.  Haven't seen anything about the Redzone yet though.  Normally though all in the same email.

Good point. Same here. I hope they did not pull redzone!

Also do we have parking lot opening times for Friday?

The field looked so much better and the players seemed to move on it great. Nobody could understand why they did not do it sooner.

I did notice a few ripples that I could not figure out what they were but mostly on the sideline. Not sure thats helpful info but we did not get to go on the field. 

I was impressed with the club level food that was presented all for free Friday Night. Plenty of it and really good. 

Crab and shrimp fritters, Polenta and beef, wings, South mountain ice cream, cake, three types of fried fish, mac and cheese and more.

The practice was great to see from up high where you could really watch it. Dyami Brown stood out and Sims did not. The defense of course had it over the offense most of the night.

Loved hearing from Coach. Fitz running down to celebrate with Terry after a deep bomb shows how youthful he is. 

Free beer too. That surprised me.

Only sad thing was how many seats were empty so I think they did not even sell out for the 5,000 free club level seats.

Ok and the parking ticket takers were a little confused on where to send people. But a good preseason night and I got more value then I do for a preseason game. Can't wait till I only have to pay for one preseason game. 

Some folks even tailgated. Football is back!

Looking forward to the Friday night practice!

It is nice to see how important having a wall behind you is to everyone. I have had the last row in the stadium, home side, 50 yard line for 9 years. Partly because I am cheap and partly to not having anyone behind me. 

Except for the year they blocked off the back rows. I got the call that I had to move my seats. I said ok give me the new back row. The guy was very confused why I would want last row but did it. Season starts and they realize they gave me the row BEHIND the fence! So I got some corner endzone 200 seats that season for the upper deck price and that was fun but I moved back up.

This year I just moved to 453 row 3 because they have a wall behind them and stairs in front due to quirky design. I can stand or sit to my hearts content.
