  1. Regarding the obstructed/limited/terrace view seats on the visitors side in the 200 level. Anything rows 13-23 have the potential to be anywhere from halfway decent to absolutely a nightmare sitting behind a pole. It's not worth taking a risk buying seats in anything higher than row 12. Rows 12 and below are great seats and some of the best views in the stadium, plus if you are in row 4 or higher you will be protected from sun and rain. They have not removed any of these seats, although they may finally be restricting sales of these, as I walked up there during one game last year during a rain shower and there were rows and rows of empty seats, meanwhile the rest of the stadium was full. My thoughts on why there are so many visiting team fans. I think the average season ticket holder goes to 80% of the games, maybe even more. If they don't go, they sell to friends or family. I don't think a majority of the seats in the lower level visitor side are owned by average season ticket holders. I think they are owned by either ticket scalpers, or they are just not sold as season tickets and only sold as individual games. I don't believe this is the Redskins' choice. I believe if they had enough individual season ticket holders willing to buy them all they would be happy to sell them to them. I just don't think the demand is there to sell out the entire lower level to regular die hard fans. Club level is a whole different story. I think those are mostly owned by corporations which they give to employees. Then maybe 15% average season ticket holder. With the rest being sold as individual games. So there will probably be visiting team fans scattered throughout the club level, but nothing like lower level visitor sideline. hail2skins theory could be 100% accurate too as that definitely sounds plausible regarding the lower level visitors sideline.
  2. Yeah, I saw that and laughed. Made me mad and I added one more tally to the "reasons to not renew" column. They also made sure to say limit one hat per account. So if you have 4-6 seats, you get ONE hat. I was really hoping the ticket office had improved, but unfortunately not even the slightest. This is infuriating to see this email. And in all honesty, does anyone really want this hat? By the time we get it, most likely we will be out of the playoffs. I'm also not that proud to win the NFC East in 2020 with a whopping 7 wins. I'm glad we did, and it's super cool, just not trying to wear gear and brag about it. I'll continue to wear my Redskins gear and not this WFT crap. They should be giving us jerseys or $100-$200 in conessions to renew at a minimum. With the unkowns of the Pandemic, I can't see anyone giving them money come Spring.
  3. My time slot is Tuesday at 10am, I've been a ST holder since 2003 or so. I went last week. It was fun and really glad I went but leaning towards not going again this year. Just not the same experience without tailgating and 80,000 fans yelling and cheering. Also wasn't the same without playing HTTR when we score. The fact that we only have 2 wins doesn't help either. It's just not worth the money for this type of experience. A really nice gesture would be to offer to let season ticket holders in free to at least 1 game the rest of the year. Tickets would be non-transferable. Especially the ones that paid in full and let them hold their money until next year(Not me).
  4. I was supposed to be able to login at 10am and even got an email right at 10am but I had the same problem. No events available. I checked again at 1030 and 11 but same thing. I just happened to log back in and check one last time and it showed up this time. I bought 2 tickets in section 139 for $109 each. Would have preferred midfield but it's not that big of deal for this game.
  5. With tickets for sale on stubhub there will be 2000 Giants fans there. This sucks. I really wish they prevented resale somehow. That was a reason to go to the game, to watch with 3000 other die hard season ticket holders. I am sure there will be lots of Giants fans there now, especially since they aren't allowing fans in their stadium.
  6. I just got an email that they are allowing fans to the 11/8 Giants game. Selling tickets to season ticket holders based on seniority. My window to buy tickets opens at 10am on Wednesday. Half price concessions except beer. Free parking. Ticket prices $99-$125 and only in the lower bowl. No service charges. All that sounds great. However, they are not allowing tailgaiting. That's just insane to have a football game without tailgaiting lol. I was all about going until I read that. Now I'm on the fence. It definitely won't be like a normal game, and probably not as fun, but I think it could be a very unique experience that we may never get to experience again. Plus with playing the Giants we have a 50/50 chance of winning.
  7. Maybe a gift card to be used for concessions worth 10% of your season tickets? That wouldn't cost them much money at all but I think it would be a nice incentive that would help convince some people to defer. A 20% or 25% card would be even more convincing;)
  8. I've had season tickets for 17 years and I'm leaning towards not renewing them. I totally would have if it wasn't for all the uncertainty in the world. I highly doubt we will have regular games with fans in the fall. If we do though, I'm guessing that there will be a large portion of people that will be hesitant to go around crowds which will lower the demand and prices big time. If there is football this year, I'm guessing tickets are going to be dirt cheap. Even cheaper than previous years if that's possible. My seats are on the lower level 47 yard line and I have over 100,000 rewards yards saved up which I guess I will lose which really sucks but doesn't seem worth the gamble. I talked to my rep the other day about it and she said she was fine if I wanted to wait a couple more weeks and decide which I'm going to do. I wish they would do something like take our credit card info but only charge us if the game gets played. That might convince me to renew.
  9. My season tickets are in section 121 but I only have 2 seats(2 tickets plus parking ~ $3,500). I take the whole family to one game a year so I sold my 2 seats and bought 4 club level tickets off stubhub for Sunday's game. So I'd be curious to know, is this something new? Is this something only in the club level? I really hope they expand on this and make it available other areas as well. It's a really nice idea and doesn't cost them much at all. I would not have bought any food items on Sunday. I would have bought one beer instead of three.
  10. So I was in the club level for the first time this season on Sunday. They had these Gold Members Only areas setup. We could get free popcorn and chips and $6 beer throughout the game. I was thoroughly impressed. This cost them about $1 worth of free food for me, and only marked up my beer 600% instead of the usual 1000%. It still honestly was very cool. I told my wife, "finally, we get some kind of perk for our $3,500 we spend in season tickets". Oh, and even thought they discounted the beer for me, they actually made more money off of me. I usually only buy 1 beer during the game due to the prices, however I bought 3 on Sunday since they were so "cheap". Do they have these areas in other places in the stadium and I just didn't notice? I would like to see them expand this by offering free hot dogs and other food items. However this simple gesture will probably help sway me to renew my tickets yet again next year. I'd really like to see a 30-50% drop in season ticket prices to more align with the secondary market but I know that's not going to happen. At worse, they can give me $3 worth of free food and some discounted beer I suppose.
  11. Get ready for this. So I am a 15 year season ticket holder. My current seats are in section 121. I have yet to receive my tickets in the mail. I called today to ask when they will be sent. I was informed that because I already sold some games online and transferred the tickets that they weren't allowed to print them. So I said what about the 6 games I didn't sell? They said they would be happy to print them and send them overnight. I said but these won't be the colorful season ticket stock. She said correct. Then I said well what about the nice package with the free goodies? She apologized but said I wouldn't be getting that either. She said I can print my parking passes starting tomorrow and she will overnight me the 6 games on regular box office stock. I told her the reason I pay a premium for season tickets is I enjoy getting that package in late July with all my tickets and I like keeping the stubs as souvenirs. I told her I might as well just save money and buy them on stubhub. I told her that they should have told us this upfront and I would have held off selling the games I can't make. She just apologized again but said there wasn't anything that could be done. I'm done. This is definitely the last year for me. I paid well over $3,000 for tickets and parking and get nothing better than Joe Schmo who bought tickets from stubhub and saved 30% or so probably. This is after they removed my additional standing room seats from my account without them telling me. Had to come on ES to find out they aren't selling SROs to season ticket holders anymore. The biggest thing is I wouldn't have found out about this if I hadn't called them. I feel at the very least they should have shipped me an empty box with the goodies thanking me for my purchase. Bonus would be to include the $500 parking passes and 6 games worth over $1800 that I haven't sold. I really thought I would be a season ticket holder for life. I understand I could save money buying off stubhub. But it was never about that. Well if this is how I am treated then it will just be about the money from now on.
  12. I don't think it is out of the realm of possibility that you can move into the lower level this year. Once your window opens, keep logging in every day to see if something opens up. I remember last year there were a lot of open seats in section 214 even towards the end of the upgrades. You can also upgrade as much as you want(once per day), so if you see something in 450 in a lower row, you can grab them, then keep checking back each day to see if something better opens up. It's hard to say how long it takes to move to a certain spot because it is difficult to predict how well the team will do and how many people renew. I would be shocked if it would take more than 5 years to move down to the lower level no matter how well the team is doing. Also, you don't have to pay in full on March 1st to get the opportunity to upgrade. You just either have to pay in full by April 1, or sign up for the 4 payment plan by March 1st. If I were you, I would still do the payment plan, that way you still get the 6 months to pay, but you only have to pay 25% each month, so starting in September, your first payment would be due if you use the Barclay card.
  13. Yeah, I signed up for one of these cards. I did the 3 payment plan last year, April 1, May 1 and June 1. Since I put the payments on the card they weren't due until October 1, November 1 and December 1. All interest free. I waited until pretty much the last day of each month to pay off the payment but still never paid any interest. The 6 month plan for newbies is no different than the 3 month plan for us. Either way final payment is due June 1. I am sure they will work with you and give you some extra time to pay if come June 1 you are short. The upgrades start in late June I think so that is probably why they want final payment by then so they know for sure who is renewing or not. I think that it would make sense for them to offer a 6 month payment plan to help some people, but maybe they could say that those people wouldn't be eligible for upgrades or maybe have to pay a service charge or something. Just give people a motivation to pay by June 1.
  14. Are you sure they were offering you general admission tickets and not premium/club level tickets? I know when I signed up I would receive a call from them every year offering me season tickets but they were AAA fanzone tickets or club level tickets, then after 3 years of paying ridiculous prices I would be guaranteed general admission tickets. When they finally called me after 7 years of being on the wait list to actually offer me regular general admission tickets I almost blew them off because I thought they were trying to sell me expensive premium tickets again. I'm sure the wait list is much shorter now and probably about 2-3 years at this point but I would be shocked to find out that the wait is less than a year now. It's also possible, that if you had signed up before and just changed some of your info, that they were able to go back and find your original info and update it with the new email address. I had to update my info twice in 7 years while I was on the waitlist. I think I did it at the stadium and not online though.
  15. The upper level endzone seats in the first 7 rows and upper level sideline rows 16 and higher should be $69 each plus 6.90 each tax making them $75.90 each. For me personally I would prefer to sit in the first 7 rows in the endzone versus being up higher on the sideline. Unless I could get row 16 on the 50 yard line. Being a first timer, most likely if you chose sideline you would probably end up in row 25 or so on the goal line.
