hokie4redskins Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Redskins #1. Is this an urban legend though? I signed up for seasons tickets thinking it would take me 10 years.....when I would be more willing to drop thousands of dollars. They called me six months later with an offer. http://www.forbes.com/lifestyle/2007/09/07/nfl-football-tickets-forbeslife-cx_ls_0907tickets.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokeydog Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 1. Washington Redskins Waiting List: 155,000 You'd think they'd be giving seats away, based on their dismal 2006 performance (4-11). What's more, their stadium has the most seats of any in the NFL (91,704). But the Redskins seem to have awfully loyal fans. Season tickets have been sold out since 1966. There's still no fee to be put on the waiting list. Um we only played 15 games last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexiterp Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 This has been a topic of much confusion around here, and I don't think anyone really has a good grasp on exactly how it works. I'm assuming the offer you got after 6 months was for box seats or tailgate club, correct? Box seats are hard to sell because they're so expensive, so they're always available to anyone willing to pay. The actual stadium seats are the ones that you have to wait years for, but from what I've been hearing it's closer to 3-5 years. Even with those, there is still much confusion about how the waiting list actually works. I'm just going to cross my fingers and hope I have some money saved when my name comes up.

NewBlood81 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Cowpuke fans always boast about how loyal their fanbase is and yet they can't even sell out is embarassing. :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsHokieFan Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 You will get constantly harrased for "premium seating" If you are willing to shell out the cash, you can get your season tickets for next year However if you want general admission, you will be waiting for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwpanic Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 i've been on the list for 5+ years. i get offered tix every season also but they are overpriced "premium" package which gets you an autographed jersey, some redskins socks, and a bagel slicer. i think all holdout for some regular, nosebleed tix.

helptheSKINS Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I personally would rather buy them from a scalper each game or off the ebay/craigslist. Paying full price for preseason is BS. Also, it's got to be a little frustrating during bad seasons where halfway through the year you can get tickets for next to nothing.:2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Deadman Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I was on the list for 5 years. I was offered premium seats probably 5-6 times during that stretch and they really didn't harrass me about them. The nice thing about being on the list is that the Skins offer you tickets (via email) for individual games at face. I went to the 70th anniversary celebration game (vs. Colts), the opener vs. the Cardinals and a Giants game with great seast for face. So it's worth getting on the list if you want to get that access IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I've been on the list for a long time now, and never gotten emails for tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 OK, I signed up. So how do you know where you are on the waitng list? I hear people say all the time "oh, I've got a 7 year wait" or "I've got about 10 years to wait" and such but how do you know that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I've been on the list for a long time now, and never gotten emails for tickets. That's because you're not really on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeman38 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 The part about the Cowboys is true. I wanted to rub in how bad Cowboys fans are to the Boys fans at work. There are still tickets available through ticketmaster in the lower level 11 rows from the field. Two days before the prime time home opener.:laugh: Also, you can sign up for 2008 season tickets and choose the seats you want in the new stadium. Meaning, they are not nearly sold out for next season, which will be my roadtrip next year, to watch the Skins close the Toilet Bowl down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sikizler Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Redskins #1. Is this an urban legend though? I signed up for seasons tickets thinking it would take me 10 years.....when I would be more willing to drop thousands of dollars. They called me six months later with an offer. Thousands of dollars? If you have that you could probably get seats for this year today in the club/suite/loge or dream seats. My tix in the UL are $74 a pop. That's $740 + extortion...err fees.

They called and offered you club seats in 6 months, or TouchDown Club seats, but not the normal seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you go into the secondary market, you pay more than face value so really you're not really saving any money just opting to put your money into a scalper's pocket instead of Danny's. Don't get me wrong, that's a good way to get individual tickets if you don't want the season but let's not compare apples to oranges here. As someone posted by joining the waitlist you get offered the single game tix that the visiting teams don't use so that's a good way to get them face value.

sikizler Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 They called and offered you club seats in 6 months, or TouchDown Club seats, but not the normal seats. That seems to be a tough concept for many on this board... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praise_gibbs Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I've been on the list for a long time now, and never gotten emails for tickets. Same thing. I signed up the same time that I signed up on this site. Not an incredibly long time but, still haven't received any kind of notification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAFGA Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I wonder if the Redskins should implement a yearly fee for being on the list. I know other teams do this. Do they want to artificially inflate the wait list or do they want people that are serious about being on there? I think they would want people that are serious about being on there to help out their ticket office and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryB43 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 155,000 on the waiting list and I've been trying to sell my season tix below face value for over a month now w/ no takers.....something doesn't add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSHRedskins3ATLBraves3 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 It took me 20 years to get season tickets. I don't have them anymore but it's no urban legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[ghost]] Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Cowpuke fans always boast about how loyal their fanbase is and yet they can't even sell out is embarassing.:dallasuck Exactly. And a loyal fanbase is generally located in that team's area- most Cowboys fans have never been near Texas. They just saw a dirty star and thought "pretty."
