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.

Anyone have issues with the Redzone on the App today?  It won't let me log in.  I submitted a ticket the NFL app and they came back with this:

"Thank you for your reply.

Lol sounds like they are asking me to help them find a resolution.....

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 were able to scan the barcode on my parking pass and gold card withouit issue.  50% off concessions is major!  If you're using the app, click on "View Barcode".  Are you using the app or the website?

I'm using the App and it's always worked before.   Just not working this year.  Even the transfer and sell options are grayed out.   I'll call guest services.

*edit* contacted Guest Services and and they had to do something on the back end to fix it.  Also said numerous folks had issues with their Gold Card scanning.

Me and my brother just decided to buy season tickets. 138 row 25 on the aisle. How does the half price concessions work? Does it include beer?

Nope alcohol not included.    On the sign boards with the prices it typically list regular and gold price.  Prices vary.  For instance a water is $2.50 for Gold and like $5 normally.  You pay the gold price, but you have to show them the Gold Card which is on their App (where your tickets are).

I thought she said Kay. But with the mask on and me a few beers deep it very well could have been Leigh.

Oh nevermind I missed your bottom part.  Leigh is director of member services so probably wasn't her.

I would call the ticket office Monday. 
 

I got invited out to a suite on the Team to try to bring me back. I was talking with the director of ticket sales. They are really trying to make this a year around Membership, not just 10 games. They plan to have events all years around. They want to make everyone’s membership slightly different depending on what you like. Example if are more about the family side, family section, off season event a breakfast with all the local mascots. More team driven a lichen with players. Stuff like that. 
 

I asked about the Redskins rewards program. Well I can officially say that is dead for at least the moment. The director of ticket sales hadn’t even heard of it. She came from the Nats so I said it was like Red Carpet rewards. But talked about all the experiences, hopefully it will return in 2022.  

What is Leigh?  She is great.  

Anyone go to the game tonight.  I had all sorts of issues/concerns

1.  There was no barcode on my parking.  The guy at the lot had to manually type in the barcode # on the detail screen.

2.  Scanning the Gold Card didn't work for a discount on food, they also had to manually type in the barcode #.

3.  The Food lines were horrible long (including the Gold Lines which they weren't policing.  Took almost 25 minutes to get some fries and chicken fingers.  The stadium wasn't even 1/4 full.

They got rid of the souvenir cups (free refill cups) so now you basically pay the same price for a large soda but its not refillable.

Has there been any announcement for STH perks for this year such as free Gamepass or Redzone?

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.

Anyone get the email about upgrading your Membership to try to get you to join the Club Level?  My favorite part was where it says, " enjoy the gameday experience and meet their dedicated Membership Service Representative." 

So you got to be on the Club Level now to have a rep and actually meet them?

What time was your group? I was the 730 group. I called them out on the BS and they seemed to get really pissed. They were like 14 other teams do it. I said if the other 14 teams juump of a bridge does that mean we have to do it to? I think I pissed out the main guy. I went up to him afterwards and blew me right off. 

I was at the 5:30 one, though its odd, I was actually supposed to go to the 5:30 on on Wed. but I never got a confirmation or a follow up email.  So then I emailed them and they were like oh you can come tonight (Thursday the 8th) at 5:30.   So not sure how many sessions they had or how many emails they sent out cause my email clearly said July 7th 5:30 to 7.   (if it matters the majority of the group I was in had seats in the 400 section except 1 person).

That being said since this was a 3rd party company I couldn't really be pissed at them, but I hope they are passing our concerns onto management.  I did notice they were recording the session.

I had an interesting night at Fed Ex last night. Last week I got contacted for a Fan Focus Group. This one was centered around the new stadium. I did get a $100 Gift Card to the Team Store. This was not know when signed up. 

 

The Team has hired a 3rd party group to look at what Fans want in a new stadium. They just started this week. My group was the final focus group. They had one before us yesterday. And many over the past few days. My group had about 8 people in it.

 

We first started on who we are are, current or past season ticket holder, if we buy single games. What we think the value is and what not. We then got on to location and what is needed to be there. I was the first to answer saying there is really only 1 place for the new stadium and that is the old RFK site. The rest of the 7 people agreed with me. There seemed like a real push by the 3rd party group to push to see if we would travel farther down 95 or farther out west into London. We all pretty much said no even the people that live NOVA. They said traffic on 95 going south is just crazy and out west there isnt the roads that could handle it. 

 

Then came the real reason we were there. To find out if we would buy season ticket with PSLs. Or a different name but a PSL. The new stadiums have changed the name because PSLs have a bad connation. Once he started to explain I knew what he was talking about. I was first to answer. And said not just No But Hell No!!! That PSLs are a slap in the face to season ticket holders. Dan can afford to build the stadium on his own or with the states help. Of course then they tried to sell it saying that all 14 new stadiums have PSLs and it is a way to raise money for the stadium. Also you would have first right of refusal of any events besides the super bowl that take place in the stadium. 

 

They focused on General Season tickets, the suggested PSLs ranged from $1,000 a seat for the Upper level Endzone to 20,000 a seat for Lower level Corner. Anyone with Lower Level Sideline would be 20K+ because these are now "Club Level" seats. 

Pretty much all agreed that is was a slap in the face, the team struggles to sell season tickets now. Try to get people to buy an PSLs on top of it, we said yeah right. Of course if something amazing happen and we get good over the next 5-6 years because that is what we were told to look into the future. They might be able to sell this. But I highly doubt it.

 

So any current season ticket holders get ready for PSLs 

I was there last night too.   Yup was total BS.  They seem to think everyone will want to buy season tickets just because its a new stadium regardless of how bad the team is.   Other then the BS about the PSL was the seating.  Basically anyone in the lowerbowl or middle area were "vip" seats.  Its like if you wanted "general season tickets' you basically had to go to the nosebleed.

Oh also you are more then welcome to finance the PSL for 20 years at 8% interest........   (My Mortgage rate isn't even that bad).

Yes.

Didn't bother trying.

We had 'em the 2nd year they were in Richmond, and it was a fun weekend, but once was enough.

We preferred the VIP "experience" in Ashburn. 

We liked it 2 years ago when we took the bus down from Fedex field, they provided breakfast and lunch.   Didn't have to worry about the 2 hour drive each way.  I wish they would have done that again.

Anyone get the email about VIP tickets for training camp?  They were gone within an hour.   How did they prevent any random joe from using that code to get VIP passes.  Anyone could have typed that in.

Got someone to snap a photo of my new seats for me today.  Seats 5 and 6.  Wow look at the leg room!

Being able to stand is huge.

We moved around the uppers a couple of times, before moving into the lower bowl. We may have stayed up there, but our seats were always on the visitors side and the sun and heat in the early games was absolutely miserable.  That's a shame, because we sat in seats in 431 row 2, in aisle seats.   You walk through the tunnel, hang a left and you're in your seats. The beauty of those is that there is little foot traffic in front, or beside you, because the first 4 rows in the uppers are in front of, (and next to), the steps leading up to the rest of the rows.  If we had to sit in the uppers, I would want seats on the Skins side, rows 2-4.   That's because the rail in the first row is annoying and the drainage sucks, so water pools on the ground in front of you if it has rained, and is an ice rink if it's cold enough.

Weird, I was in the first row of the 400 section for a few years (2 different sections) and had no issues with drainage.    Only issue I had was how annoying the plexi glass was.  It was either super dirty or because they were different sizes (it was awards to look to the left as half the view was clear and half the view was through the glass.

 If you like an end-zone view, they're good seats. The problem with those, is that you're not under cover.   I have no idea about the rail, but I've sat in seats, in the 100's, 1st row, and the rail wasn't an issue.  In fact, it was nice to kick your feet up.

So I bit the bullet and picked up 234, Row 1, (5,6) which is the aisle.  I'm coming from the 400 section so I wasn't under cover there anyways.   Supposedly the price on these ticket used to be $1100 but recently dropped to $999 (last week, so the ticket office said).....  Figured for $150 price difference for the 2 seats, not having to deal with the ramp or the escalator makes it worth it.   The Rep also didn't seem to think the railing would cause any viewing issues.

Thanks for the update. I did get in touch with the ticket office yesterday and pre-opening yesterday there were two in my section two rows back and closer to the aisle (202 row 6, seats 5 and 6).  
 

But what someone said about ticket exchange is also true about transferring your tickets. Since they didn’t tell us about the relocation process occurring this year before issuing the tickets, I had already transferred tickets to a friend who then transferred them to his son. The ticket office said if I got my friend’s son to transfer them back to me, I could then call them to move. I figured they’d be gone by now (she looked up my window and it was noon today), so I was waiting to ask here if they were still available before going through that hassle. Now, I know that I’ll be sitting tight as well. 
 

Anyone snag the prime 202 seats yesterday? 
 

Joy

Anyone know if section 234, Row 1 is any good?   Any obstruction from the metal railing?

My upgrade window also opens Tuesday at 3PM. STH since 2008. Curious to see if anything’s left since they’re already selling individual game tickets.

According to the member service team, they withheld the best seats for STH and they weren't part of the single seat sale.  Read that however you want.....

Good luck !  Mine is tuesday at 2pm not holding my breath. Usually no tickets left gor me

Mines 3pm on June 8th, I've had season tickets for 11 years or 12 if they count the year I had obstructed view seats.

On an unrelated note, I haven't wonder if they are going to let us come to OTA's this year, normally it would have been mid June, but haven't seen any emails.

That is a very good point. Also still waiting to hear about rewards points carry over. 

I would hope they waive the $25 processing fee for STH that renew on first day too!

Agreed!  Why should we have pay a processing fee when the average joe can get tickets today and not.

WFT announces plans to have full admission for the 2021 season.

 

Never had it in 2019 but hey shoot for the stars.

Sort of surprised they didn't send an email to STH about this.  Also says they are waiving all fees for 1 day only for single game tickets.  Does that mean no select a seat for current STHs?

Here is my daughter doing the Field Goal kick, I'll spare everyone the disaster of when I tried.  She might not have kicking in her future but look at the spin move.

few photos.  Why yes that is Dexter Manley.

So I had a blast last night.  Obviously the first time back at Fedex field for my family and I in over a year.   I thought it was all handled well from a social distancing prospective.   Lines didn't take long for really anything.  Definitely enjoyable.
