Braves On Warpath Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 I got a postcard the other day from the Skins wanting to know if I would like to liquidate all of my worldly assets and buy club seats for this season. Sadly, I'll decline. Of interest is my "Waiting list number" for more economical seats. I have 54,783! I suppose it will be awhile. Anyone else get the same card?

Om Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 So what's the problem? You liquidate the second house, dip into the Navigator escrow, go for the club seats ... and get used to sleeping on the couch. Priorites, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Wrong guy Om. I would buy club seats, but, I can't get the wife to sign off on the eight trips to Washington deal quite yet. But, she said if I really have to, maybe next year . ------------------ Doom is in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMP Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 My season tickets waiting number is zero. I have never put my name on the list and never will. Living in the area I can get to any home game I want to see. When playing at RFK I had several tricks to sneaking in to see games. While I haven't tried to sneak into FedEx Field I haven't had any trouble getting tickets to games I want to see. Upon my death the wife knows to have my ashes spread on the field so I don't miss any home games in the afterlife. ------------------ <IMG SRC="http://www.joegibbsracing.com/joe_gibbs/joegibbs_images/driver_prof_joe.jpg" border=0><IMG SRC="http://www.joegibbsracing.com/current_season/jgr_wc_18/jgr_wc_18_images/car/bobby_car_race.gif" border=0><IMG SRC="http://www.joegibbsracing.com/current_season/jgr_wc_20/jgr_wc_20_images/car/drive_pontiac_tony.gif" border=0> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Om Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Oops. Someone else might wanna bring the potato salad to the MENSA picnic this weekend ... I think I've been uninvited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stricknine Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 I got the same post card in the mail, but like Art, I live in the mid west and can't afford the seats and the airline mileage. I will be attending the Giants game on Oct. 28th though. My list # is 43,659. ------------------ Randy Redskin Fan for Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Horse Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Just curious and I don't mean this in a mean manner. I'm really just curious. If you live in the midwest, why are you even on the waiting list for season tickets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stricknine Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 We come to Washington every year for a game, and last year at the Bucs game we decided to sign up for the list just for $hits and giggles. Of, course we figured the number would be so high it wont matter for quite a long time. I f my number comes up and I still live out here, I will do everything in my power to get my tickets and be at every game I can. Hell, i even briefly considered the offer on the post card. My love for this team has gotten me into financial trouble before, and was even a large factor in ending my last relationship. But, like my signature at the bottom says...I will die a Redskin fan. ------------------ Randy Redskin Fan for Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 I gotta question: can you sell your waiting list slot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stricknine Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 I would imagine you probably could if you could find a sucker to buy it. ------------------ Randy Redskin Fan for Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 What's the cost for typical cheap-seat season tickets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin West Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Just under $1,000 a year for a pair of the least expensive seats (upper deck, above row 10-- I think-- in the endzones.) $1,100 a year for 2 seats, upper deck side lines. Parking is extra. Very extra. I put my name on the list the day we drafted Art Monk. The Metro section of the Post had recently run an article about a guy who had just come off the list after a seven year wait. 20 years later, I got my tickets. During the RFK years, ticket turnover averaged around 150 per year. But after they moved to The Jack/Redskins Stadium/FedEx Field, the turnover rate was close to 2,000. I put in for an upgrade this year and hope to improve from my perch in the last row of ("Hey, move that blimp!") Section 450. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyskinsfan Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Wow, I was wondering if I should have posted that same subject here too, BOW. I got a card too, but tossed it, when I saw the suites available (know it was a little out of my league and the timing may not be good for me). My number is in you range, so I thought, wow, just ten more years and I can see a game.

The Dark Horse Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 My season tickets are in section 425, Row 9. It's the upper deck between the 25 and 30. Anyways, mine run $1300 for two seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackC Posted June 18, 2001 Share Posted June 18, 2001 I'm on the waiting list 21,456. I also have two club seats in the corner of the endzone. I bought them the first year at FedEx and signed a 10 year lease. They run $1400 per seat per year plus parking. I don't think I would consider moving out of the club section anytime soon.
