RFKFedEx Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Seven figure income? They're not that expensive. A six figure guy can easily afford club seats. But the seven figure guy is less likely to lose sleep over the costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB452 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 You'll have to clue me in on your secret. I lose $300+ bucks on every game that I can't go to, selling the Club tickets (fortunately I go to almost all of them). Prices tend to peak about 1 month before the game and tend to drop as game day approaches. I have pretty much adopted the position that if I think I can't make a game, to sell it as soon as possible. BTW, if those OV seats are within 6 seats of the aisle and/or row 19 or lower, those are some very nice seats. If your friend is going to buy the UL tix, get your money now (even if he pays with post dated checks) before you pay the invoice. If he bails on you, you don't want to be trying to unload those tix as you will take a bath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipwhich Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Seven figure income? They're not that expensive. If you are making 100K pre tax a year (or 200K) and spending 6-10K a year on club seats they are that expensive. The dumbing of American fiscal responsibility always gets me amused. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that lawsuit mess last year, I can't imagine anybody signing a club contract with the Redskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, there are 3 houses on my street with swimming pools and all 3 of them were foreclosed in the last 18 months. I know that's not helping my property value.

Not to hijack the thread, which I seem to always do, but some peoples comments want to make me bang my head against the wall. Really? You committed to a 10 year contract for 6-10K a year? Dumbfounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about allowing each individual to determine how they should and should not spend their money? Radical I know but just a thought. Just because you think that it is a bad deal doesn't make it so for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what it comes down to is knowledge (or lack thereof), research (or lack thereof), and being romanced and becoming enthralled with the idea of finally becoming a season ticket holder.

I think what it comes down to is knowledge (or lack thereof), research (or lack thereof), and being romanced and becoming enthralled with the idea of finally becoming a season ticket holder. Who is it not a bad deal for? My wife and I as well as more than a dozen club level season ticket holders that we tailgate with each week. That however was not the point of my response. My point is to let each individual party determine whether it is a good deal for them. If you think that it is a bad deal then don't buy the tickets. I am well aware of other ways to acquire tickets and parking passes so your "lack of knowledge" comments are rather presumptuous. Those ways do not work for me. They are inconvenient, for me, so I do not go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Well that's fine. I'm happy for you. But there have been countless club seat contract holders who have posted on this site who have expressed their exasperation of being bound to a legal multi-year contract - after knowing what they have learned in threads such as this one. This is a message board. We're all here to offer and accept opinions and advice. Or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipwhich Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 My point is to let each individual party determine whether it is a good deal for them. If you think that it is a bad deal then don't buy the tickets. Apologize for offending you. Each party does determine if it is a good deal for them. I know you can get shorter term club level contracts now. From a purely financial standpoint, a 6 or 10 year club level contract is a poor decision. /hijack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xavmit Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I currently have 2 lower level terrace seating(obstructed) on the 30 yard line, they are actually pretty good seats, only thing I can't see is a really high punt. I just got a letter today saying I can purchase regular season tickets now, I called the ticket office and while they don't have a location yet the rep said they would definitely be in the 400 section somewhere. Would it make more sense to keep the lowers and ignore the wait list tickets, or drop the LL and just get the upper level ones? The rep said he would probably buy both and continue to just sell the uppers until they became better (of course thats a lot of money to shell out for 2 sets of tickets. Any suggestions? Excuse me if this has been covered already. If your tickets have the words Terrace on them then I don't think they would also have the words Obstructed as well. Terrace means that you are probably in rows 14 to maybe 16 and away from the pillers. These are really close in value to the regular seats in row 13 who pay $99 per seat. You only pay $79 per seat. Keep them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedskinPryde Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I just hate to see how much tickets are going to a Redskins game... Especially when the skins go 4-12... But the box office keeps expecting people to buy the tickets at the high prices. And if enough people don't show up we get blacked out in the area.... Kinda a unhealthy relationship with fan/team if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashburn Dave Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Does anyone know what parking they get when they do the club level deal for a few years and then move to the lower level? In other words they are orange while they are in the club but when they move to the LL do they get green or start all over out in copper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
