44Dieselfan Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Thought I would share this with you all. It is an email I just got from the Redskins ticket office. Not only did my season tickets go way up, but I also have to give full payment by March 31. How am I going to convince my wife that I need to pay $4900 by March? I am not 100% pissed with the ticket increase, but I am pissed that they are giving us about 2-3 weeks to make full payment! Dear Season Ticket Holder, Your Redskins season ticket invoice is on the way! We look forward to your support in 2006 as Coach Gibbs and the team make a run at the NFC Championship. With five straight wins to close the regular season and an upset playoff victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 2005 was one of the most successful and exciting campaigns in years. You won't want to miss a minute of the action this upcoming season at FedExField! Please keep in mind invoice payments are due March 31, 2006. If you have not received your invoice, or want to discuss relocation to lower priced tickets, please contact the Redskins Ticket Office at (301) 276-6050. Hail to the Redskins!

StevieInferior Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 SO I read the post article...I buy my seats in the lower level from a friend at face value. After the article, I thought my $79 seats had jumped to $109....but I just got an email from him saying the face value is the same and that they just added the tax. I was paying $1600 for a season, i am now paying $1752 according to his invoice...I can live w/ that I own six seats in the upper level in my name and just got the email you postes...I am interested to see what the price will be.

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I wonder how much interest the Redskins earn on that money between March 31 and the opening pre-season game. Someone smart: please calculate this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyf316 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Are you sure they can't put you on some payment plan due to the short turn-around provided in the e-mail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Pressure Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 With five straight wins to close the regular season and an upset playoff victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 2005 was one of the most successful and exciting campaigns in years. You won't want to miss a minute of the action this upcoming season at FedExField! Was it really necessary for them to fill you in on what happened last season? I dont think anyone who shells out that kind of money for tickets needs to be informed what happened to the skins last year. Or maybe im just being an ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worm Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I got the same email but still haven't received the invoice. Does anyone know the new price of formerly $59 tickets? Ditto. I'm still waiting too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseto Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I got the e-mail today too. I wish they would put how much you owe on it. I thought we had more time to pay last year, didn't think we'd only get a few weeks. Thats a lot of money to come up with in a short amount of time. I guess thats one of the ways they turn over the waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought all of the tickets on the lower level (other than obstructed) went for the same $79 price. I know that in some stadiums (Texas Stadium) that lower level tickets cost more the closer you are to the 50 yard line. Corners and End Zones are cheaper.....wonder if they have adopted that sort of strategy here. Something like in baseball..you'll pay more for lowers between the bases. IF this is the case it might explain why your lower levels only went up by the tax amount..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkB452 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 When the stadium was built, the lower seats between the endlines were one price and the lower level endzones were another. Not sure if this is still the case. My dad's $79 seats went up to $109. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could call the Ticket Office and ask how much your tickets are too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not 100% pissed with the ticket increase, but I am pissed that they are giving us about 2-3 weeks to make full payment! I've got two accounts. I've paid late before. My experience is, if you don't pay on time, they will call you after a couple weeks and warn you that you must make the payment. Another thing you can do is pay half on your account, then pay the rest when you get the nut up. This method at least lets them know you want the seats and intend to pay for them.

Thanos Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Heck my invoice came weeks ago.The email arrived two days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsLover Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I got my invoice and a day later I got the email LOL. What irritates me is that the invoice DATE is March 1st, IMPLYING you have thirty days to pay it. I received that invoice in the mail on March 9th, basically losing a week and a half. Whole thing due March 31st. There is no payment plan boys and girls LOLLL. That Prince Georges County tax of $88 bucks irritates me. But oh, well. I love my Redskins!!!!!

CandaceM23 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 how do u guys think i feel i have the dream seats to pay for, thats $8470.40 by march 31 That's a rack of $$$. Do you find that the dream seats are actually worth that amount of money? I sit two rows behind the dream seats - and have the same view - and watch these people get sodas, peanuts, and hotdogs .... I don't know if I'd pay that much for those tickets. I think that it would be amazing to sit in the seats in the endzone for a game or two - but thats a pretty hefty bill! :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stwasm Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Why can't the Redskins just do a payment plan on the season-ticket packages like the Mystics do? It would be MUCH easier to absorb the shock instead of getting it in the tookus all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gridironmike Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Mine went from $59 to $70.40 with the increase and tax. My $59 tickets went to $71.10. I'm sorry folks, but upper level tickets are just not worth $70 plus. I'm in 448 row 24. $70??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
