HOF44 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Just received this email.

This email was sent to you by The Washington Redskins 1600 FedEx Way Landover, MD 20785 Wanna bet that the lower level seating option next year is the tailgate club?? The season parking passes available are also probably white. Interesting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renaissance Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Is that for real? I can't believe that bullet about StubHub is in there. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Harris Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 i got that email. i'm of the opinion that going to games every week is overrated. once or twice a year is enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not surprised they mention StubHub. I am suprised they encourage you to go ahead and get season tickets bc no worries if you can't make a game, you can make money off of your tickets!! What a load of bull****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFKFedEx Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 no worries if you can't make a game, you can make money off of your tickets!! What a load of bull****. Ya, good luck making money on the resale of your tickets when it's not the Dallas game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brasseli Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I mean I hate the fact that they push stubhub, but myself, I go out of town alot for business, and can't make certain games. I am a huge skins fan, and always have been. Using stubhub makes it easier for me to find people to go to games and purchase my tickets. Does it hurt to try and make a little money off a certain ticket? no. I disagree witih people that put their entire season ticket up on stubhub to make money. If you look, certain tickets are available each week on there. Those are the people that should get their tickets taken away. Not the fans that can't make a few games and try to unload their tickets.

renaissance Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 feel free to use the classifieds here on es and make sure that it's skins fans buying your tickets. Yea and enjoy people offering you a ham sandwich for a club-level ticket Unfortunately if you have to get rid of multiple tickets, ES classifieds isn't the way to make back the money you paid. Esp if you're tickets aren't on the 50 yd line or club/lower level. I do agree though season ticket holders should try their best to find Redskins fans to use their tickets.

Major Harris Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Yea and enjoy people offering you a ham sandwich for a club-level ticket does the sandwich have cheese? point taken, i don't pay much attention to the club level ticket threads because i have no interest in sitting there. but upper level game tickets seem to usually get face or close.

@DCGoldPants Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Is it true that Mr. Snyder gets a cut from Skins tickets being moved on StubHub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzyskins Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 So people off the wait list get access to lower level seats before me even though I been stuck in the upper level for 5 years? That's a great way to show customer's your appreciation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great way to show customer's your appreciationNah. This is probably the deal:Starting next season enjoy: Affordable seats with great views of all the action (upper level endzone) Purchase up to eight (8) season tickets! (upper level endzone) Lower Level seating option next season! ...IF you buy clubs for a season FIRST. Resell your tickets to other Redskins fans, at a profit via StubHub, for any game you are unable to attend! ...IF you get seats that are good enough to sell, which you won't. Stadium season parking passes available! ...IF you buy clubs. First right to purchase playoff tickets, concerts and other special events! ...IF you buy clubs.

TimmySmith Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 This is what I am guessing is happening. Thousands of season ticket holders are turning in tix this year and next. So the Skins send that e-mail to the top 2,000 (or so) on the waiting list, first come first served. I would like to see the result of you replying that will only get tickets if they are in the lower deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJeremy Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 i'm of the opinion that going to games every week is overrated. once or twice a year is enough for me. I am starting to come around to that idea also. Yea and enjoy people offering you a ham sandwich for a club-level ticket Unfortunately if you have to get rid of multiple tickets, ES classifieds isn't the way to make back the money you paid. Esp if you're tickets aren't on the 50 yd line or club/lower level. I do agree though season ticket holders should try their best to find Redskins fans to use their tickets. I am with you. People ***** and moan when you TRY to sell them around face value. The times I had to sell some tickets all I could get was LESS than face for decent tickets. I am not into subsidizing some ES member's trip to a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Clark Fan Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 so if u sell tickets on face for as much as u want the skins can't yank your season tickets? hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Weirdo Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 The Eagles have a deal with StubHub, too. I'd imagine most of the owners do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deposit is non-refundable. If you only want lower deck, and they aren't offered to you, you either a) lose your deposit or get upper deck anyways.

Mark The Homer Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 ...really. Hmm. In addition, I bet the LL seats will be in the endzone or back corners, if they're offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Harris Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Affordable seats with great views of all the action (upper level endzone) at least this part is spot on. best seats in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Kaos Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I called the TO regarding the LL seating option. What they are saying is this, Anyone who selects the LL seating option on the order form will be placed in a random drawing along with all current STH in the UL. When the time comes they will draw names at random to decide who gets any open seats in the LL. Take that for what it's worth. Personally it seems kinda wrong to lump brand new STH with veteran STH that have been waiting for a move to the LL. Oh Well, What'cha gonna do?!?

Redskins Diehard Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 All these new found lower level seats?? Could it be that the TO selling them on StubHub isn't working out like they hoped so now they are willing to lock in the full season at face value?

Those that have held the season tickets the longest should have first shot at the lower level tickets. This pisses me off! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
