Larry Brown #43 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Ok, here's the situation. I signed up for the season ticket waiting list during the Spurrier regime at the Ballston Common Redskins Store. It had to have been about three years ago. I even remember the guy who took my information (his face...not his name). So today I got the idea to call the ticket office to find out exactly where I am on the list. Well, the guy I spoke with told me I'm not in the system. I told him where and when I signed up, and he told me I'm not the first person who signed up at the Ballston store who didn't get officially registered. And there's nothing they can do. So I spent the past three years assuming I was moving up the list, only to find out I was never even on it. This is disturbing to me...but I respect the opinions of the members of the board here...so tell me. What would you do? Is there anything I can do?

portisizzle Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Sign up again on the official website and then go to classified when you can often find people selling individual games and season tickets for their cost. This website has A LOT to offer. Go check it out. Just do not go trying to cut ahead of me trying to get extra tickets to the Eagles game....

skins0128 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Not an attorney, but doubt you have any recourse. No way to figure out exactly what your number in line would be etc. I would signup again online, I think you get some response from that. Then as others have suggested, look in the classifieds until your number comes up. Sucks though, those two years of Spurrier, got a whole lot of people tickets it seemed.

Sucks though, those two years of Spurrier, got a whole lot of people tickets it seemed. I was certainly a lucky recipient of season tickets due to the Spurrier era (or error, which ever way you want to look at it). I only had to wait 4 years when it was assumed that I would have to wait at least 10. To answer your question though, no, there is nothing you can do about it. Unless you can provide an exact date and time, along with some sort of receipt showing that you did in fact sign up when you said you did. Sorry that happened to you, that really stinks.

SkinsNut73 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Well, it would seem you are out of luck, unfortunately. The only thought that comes to my mind is perhaps you are on the list, but your name is mis-spelled? I imagine if your name is Larry Brown, then it's pretty hard to screw that up...but if you have a last name like mine (Schwarz)...that gets butchered up all the time. Maybe they can search for you by address...if they haven't already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks...I figured there's not a lot I can really do. But some businesses, when they make a mistake, try to find a way to make it up to you. I guess that's what I'm hoping for, but I know it's probably a long shot. Speaking of shot...that's what should happen to the guy who put my information into the system at Ballston. What's really frustrating is HE asked ME if I wanted to sign up for the waiting list. I did, and then he didn't bother to submit it I guess. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, I gave the guy on the phone today my old addresses...my middle name...everything. The guy told me a bunch of people who signed up at Ballston didn't get registered, so I think I'm just in that unfortunate bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunBunch7 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I signed up 2 years ago and was 105,000th in line and now I am under the 65,000 mark. I'm hoping htat in 3 or 4 years I'll be called. I live in Phoenix so I'll probably only fly our for 4 or 5 games per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 You could go down to the Ballston redskins store and raise holy hell. It may not get you anywhere, but you'd probably feel a little better. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see anything on the evening news about an incident at the Ballston Skins store...It wasn't me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gridironmike Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I think that if you sign up now, you'll find a lot of people are just on the list to get a freebie. When their name comes up, it comes off fast because they never had any intention of purchasing season tickets. Its no mystery that Snyder uses the list for marketing purposes. You'll come up quick enough. I waited 12 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Deadman Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Sorry Man, Truthfully you're S.O.L in my opinion.....just sign up now and hope your number will come up sooner than later (FYI: It was about 5 years for me, but I know it's been much longer for others). Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
