skins island connection Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Basically, Some tard thought it would be cute to misspell it during the 2005 season when we were trying to make the playoffs (forgot who) and the other tards decided to run with it Appreciate the info sir; I figured it might be something like that but wasn't sure if my 5th grade teacher was lying to me..lol.. BTW; the word 'tard'; is that short for leotard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 You are telling me season ticket holders can buy up all 85,000+ tickets? Okay... I believe the capacity is around 82,000 or so now... but anyways.... What happened last time is that invoices were sent out, and those STHs that didn't buy left left-over tickets under the team's control, of course. So the team then offered them to the public. I don't remember the fine details, but that's the gist of it... How they do it now, nobody can be sure.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a little more. Season ticket holders would be smart to exercise their right to purchase playoff tickets, whether they actually go to the game or not. Mark, I know you usually buy regular season tickets on the aftermarket...do you also have season tickets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB452 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 Well yeah, they all have first right to their seats. And all seats are season tickets. >> Yes, but in 1999 people on the wait list were given first dibs on the tickets that the STHs did not buy. I had put the kids of a friend of mine on the wait list and he was able to buy a pair of playoff tickets for the Lions game in his (at the time - 5 years old) daughter's name. He had to go to the stadium and wait in line to buy them. Not sure if they will do this again, but if you are not on the wait list already, it might be worth getting on. BTW, my brother and I each bought a pair to the first round game of the playoffs in 1982 vs. the Lions at RFK. We had to wait in line outside the RFK ticket office to buy tickets. As for pricing, Round 1/2 tickets cost more than the regular season (maybe 10-15%) and the NFC Championship costs another 10%-15%. I wonder why this is since preseason games cost the same as regular season games. If you are a STH, you have first right of refusal on your seats.

"Account holder is obligated to purchase tickets and parking passes for any postseason games played by the Washington Redskins at FedExField in the same number and locations as were purchased for the regular season, at a price to be determined by the NFL."

LaxinFish29 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Could we worry about winning our next game first? I cant speak for you but I would guess the vast majority of this board arent players. We can look past the next game for discussion because it will not affect our play on Sunday.

doom44 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Serious chicken counting here...We are still outside looking in. These ticket worries will be welcome once we actually make the play-offs Just sayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjbasford Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 How will the ticket office ask/invoice sth's? Phone/email? Im guessing standard mail wont cut the timeframe. Guess i should call and check on all my info. I'll ask then and post back and answer my own question then i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70Chip Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Rex Grossman will be over to swipe your card or pick up your check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadderCrew17 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Rex Grossman will be over to swipe your card or pick up your check. He'd then drop the check and Ndamukong Suh would recover and return it for a touchdown. You'd end up with Lions tickets. After looking through my ticket stub collection (more like organized hoarding) the 1999 playoff game ticket was $65. Regular season was $40. (Upper half of Section 418, taxes included.) I found a few teams postseason ticket info sheets on the nfl.com. The Bears' one has the regular season ticket price next to the prices for the divisional round and conference title games. It looks like the cheaper the ticket, the higher the percentage hike between regular season price and playoff game price. They also state due to the league's authorization that price structure is different for divisional round and wild card round, with the WC round being $18 less than the Div round for each pricing level. Bears fans also had to pay for tickets by last Friday, December 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshile Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 provided we win, I just bought my first playoff tickets ever. super excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC9 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Check it out... the Redskins are required to do this. They have to have these things sold and out in the mail in time to make it work logistically. This is SOP for the league. Based on what MTH was saying earlier in this thread, the Redskins have improved the process with the "Charge me when we win" payment... where you can reserve your tix, and within 48 hrs of us getting a home playoff game (provided that happens) your account is charged. You can't get much better than that. I think this is a best case scenario. I just bought my tickets, as well. Hopefully I will be able to use them.
