dgreen Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Got an #HTTR t shirt via FedEx today from the team. no. i imagine they're trying desperately to get more season ticket holders before they schedule the upgrades.My account rep said Monday the 16th is the deadline and then they'll be released. He's holding mine longer, though, since I asked him to as I try to find a buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevhow Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 This will be my first year as a season ticket holder. I currently have 2 tickets in section 426 row 7. I'm considering changing to club level seats in the end zone or corner. Anyone have a preference between these two options? Keeping in mind that I will be going to most games with my 8 year old son... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so you know you can find clubs for about $100 a seat on gameday. And you can sell for uppers for just under face. Around $60-70 a ticket so you are only spending an extra $70 for club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I'd prefer the 426 because you're much closer to midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to sit in the club level, I doubt the Redskins will offer the seats below the $250 per game (per seat) price point. I would go the Stubhub route. Given the opponents coming into FedEx this season, clubs might not be as cheap as $100, but you should be able to buy them for significantly less than what the team will ask.

chipwhich Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Stubhub is a ripoff. Save yourself money and use something like seatgeek. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFKFedEx Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 You have to know when to use Stubhub. Typically SH is over priced until game week. Tues-Weds, and sometimes Thurs before a Sunday match-up are the best time to capitalize on what the TO dumps. Most people don't have the patience to wait. It pisses me off that Stubhub removed the 'no-fees' rewards benefit for frequent customers. I'm sure ticket costs still balance out to normal market values over the long run, but it was really nice to pay the price seen advertised, and nothing more. That feature ended last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And honestly.... if you go to one game in club and decide that's really where you want to be, I'd be willing to bet you could call them Monday morning and upgrade your seats mid-season to club and still get a 'deal.'  One thing to consider, if you do upgrade to club, is they often offer a 'deal' where you get club seats for 2-3 years and then you can move down near the 50 yard line and skip the rest of us chumps. As far as I'm aware they've honor those deals, but I would definitely get something in writing from someone that matters on team letterhead. So if you were interested in eventually making it to the lower level near mid field you could go that route if you can afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkB452 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I've used seat geek for other events and thought it was solid. Would definitely recommend ...I have been very happy with seatgeek, though they do NOT stand behind the tickets that are "sold" through their site. One time, I had a problem with a seller never delivering my ticket and seatgeek basically told me to deal with the actual seller. I believe that seller is no longer on their site. Stubhub will stand behind what they sell (as they have the credit card info of the seller). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFKFedEx Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 The beauty of Stubhub is the customer service reps are onsite at Fedex, in case there are complications. On two occasions I arrived at the turnstiles in Landover to find that my SH bought tix had already been scanned in. A quick trip to the SH trailer and they had me all set up with replacement tix. The replacement tix weren't quite as good, but I still got to sit in he seats I had paid for. Plus I got 50% of the purchase cost credited toward my next event, which was like $150 each time. Conclusion, the TO gave my seats to somebody else on gameday morning after I had purchased my tix online. In both instances my purchases were prime, club seats. Just the kind the TO dumps, and certainly not the kind a club seat holder would sell at a deeply discounted rate during game week. Nobody else came to the seats with a claim at either game. If hadn't been an experienced SH user, my gameday would have been ruined by the TO.  But even better than SH, the hustlers outside still provide the best ticket deals for most games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â One thing about StubHub, they only stand behind their sales if it's within 30 days of the event. This is something MTH put in one of those big threads about tickets/the stadium. So the standard advice for StubHub is to not buy your tickets too far in advance, or that service you paid extra for won't actually help you.

kevhow Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 What do people think of NFL Ticket Exchange? I have never bought or sold anything with them. I know it's Ticketmaster so I'm sure there are a ton of fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 When i tried to list my tickets on there they wouldn't let me list them for below face value. Â Which is a huge problem if you're trying to sell redskins tickets these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtle2328 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I thought we'd have seen it by now. Last year the option for addition tickets came in April. The Seat Upgrade announcement came mid May. My actual upgrade day was 5/29 last year. I haven't heard word of anything since I started paying the invoice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just654 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Just called the ticket office. Last day to renew is this Saturday. Once that day passes the upgrade process should start not to far after that. No date given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
