ugh. yeah, definitely do not want a new stadium.

Nope. And I'm not calling or emailing them...they probably get harassed enough as is They'll be done sometime mid month which is the same as last year.

Same here

End of May/Beginning of June has been the standard line. There's no reason to think they're lying. The upgrade process is probably a nightmare that literally takes a month. As a CS major/Programmer, I can understand the problems that arise from trying to 'automatically' upgrade 80k seats. You ahve to remember a lot of people have very specific requests - a computer cannot process those, a person has to do that. So i'm sure the computer system gives them a few 'rough' layouts to go with and they pick one then do manual manipulation. I can imagine it's very time consuming. I'm actually surprised they don't charge a fee to be upgraded

I don't know how difficult it is once you're already on the visitor sidelines, but what I would recommend is you make it known in your upgrade notes that you prefer to be on the redskins side so they mvoe you out of the endzone in that direction to start with. Hopefully someone else can give you some more information on that. You may want to call the ticket office. If you do please report back here with the answer

did you request an upgrade? my seats are still blank

yeah those announcements also went out before the draft sometime... there was a whole page of people asking if it was true. so there you go, yes it's true

yeah. nothing amazingly cool and new, just something different hah!

Woah, they just redid the season ticket holders login - redskins.com/myaccount under completed invoices my tickets are still gone, so i'm not suggesting anything breaking here but they did change the login and some of the interface... and they must have done it today because i check this every day (because there's something wrong with me)

just go directly to the page: www.redskins.com/myaccount

Hah, sell those tickets. with RG3 you should be able to recoup your money the first few weeks. until we go 0-4 then you wont be able to give them away On a serious note, welcome to the club.

awesome. it's nice to know that you can drop them for a year and get them back you can't count on it, but it's nice to know it's an option. welcome back. hopefully it'll be an exciting year

I can see parking, processing fee, and s&h. i could see everything before I called to take them up on the offer to move to lower level. i was the moved into a 'TBD' section according to the guy on the phone. i think the bottom line is, as you stated, the software is quirky. my understanding is that the seats disappearing means the upgrade is going on. but... we're probably going to find out last week or may/first week of june where people in the lower level are. if i remember correctly they did the entire lower level last year, and then like a week later the upper level. but my memory isn't the greatest so i may be making that up

They are working on upgrades. they told me on the phone it would be may and we should all know sometime in may, early june what our new assignments are. I don't know anything about the link being gone, but you can still log into your account by going to redskins.com/myaccount thats how i always log in so i wouldn't even notice the link being gone. My seating assignment has disappeared from my invoice for 2012. The understanding that I have is that means upgrades in progress.

Makes sense to me. Good logic there. I was one of the ones who lost their seats in the endzone last offseason, and was moved to a new section (422) at the 44$/seat price. there's a couple different ways of looking at that. first - they got me. i bit hard and am now paying significantly more to be in the lower level. it's also a nice advantage of having your seats taken from you sucks for the people who don't get into the lower level because we were leap frogged in front of them (probably) for the sole purpose of making more money per seat lol

yes, it was part of the discussion for the last two pages or so. i got the same email and called as well. ticket sales are quite a bit worse than I though if this email went to every upper level ticket holder...

i specifically recall seeing the offer that new season ticket holders would get a jersey of whoever the 2nd round pick was, which obviously is now an RG3 jersey. i do not recall it mentioning elite (there is no more authentic...) - i'd be really surprised if it was the elite, it's probably the regular one (i think they're called 'game' jerseys now) but i can't remember. i can't find where i saw that but I do remember sending it to some friends, mostly as a joke (there's no way they'd get season tickets again)

awesome. thanks for the info. so i guess that explains it. it comes down to people in the lower level flat out not renewing their tickets and not having enough people in the upper level willing to move into the lower level.

hrm... are the dream seats typically full? i figured those would be empty like the club level due to cost?

oh people stand the entire time on the sidelines? i was not aware of that. that kinda sucks. if everyone sat down they'd see the same thing and be much more comfortable... thinks like that make you really appreciate the sit down and sit back rules at the verizon center...

are the new tv's adequate for watching play on the other side of the field? i've only sat down there a few times, but it was all before the new TV's. the old TV's didn't help at all. i also didn't have glasses back then which i now have so they should help too lol!

i think because if you're above row 16 in the upper level you're not supposed to indicate you want to go to the lower level - it says so in the upgrade. so, someone like me, doesn't really have the option of indicating that (if you follow the instructions). and i was in the same boat as you in terms of being upper level towards the 50 or lower level endzone. hopefully i don't regret my decision.

Thanks! i'm excited... hopefully i'll be out of the endzone soon and moving down the sideline. I've always had reservations about going from upper level sideline to lower level endzone. we have 3 tickets, i'm hoping that allows us to fit into holes others can't. I also look forward to getting home quicker. From the upper level it was an hour and a half from the time we started heading down the ramp. I'm hopping to shave it down to an hour since it should mean beating some traffic out of the lots.

I attribute it to two things: 1 - people not renewing their tickets in the lower bowl 2 - having an account that has been with the redskins since 1965. If you pay on time upgrades are done by seniority... they sent out a batch of emails to people saying there were lower level seats available. i imagine they went to the some x number of oldest accounts still in the upper level. I didn't do anything. I got an email and followed the instructions. BTW they called me 3 times between January and March trying to get me to sign a 3 year contract for club level seats in exchange for being promised to be moved into the lower level automatically when it was up. They also offered to move me into the lower level last year, although some have suggested that was primarily due to me being one of the people who's seats were removed last offseason. Who knows. Unfortunately I was taking on a new job with a start up company and couldn't justify the risk of the price increase when I was already rolling the dice on helping start a new company. Now things are more settled.

upgrades are done by seniority for those who paid on time. assuming you paid on time, since you're a new account holder i imagine they'll plug you into the best seats available. i imagine it wouldn't be endzone since those sections in the upper level are significantly smaller than they used to be. but yes, you wont know what your seats are until they upgrade everyone else then assign new accounts their seats. at least thats my understanding.
