Mark The Homer Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Good one! There is a "person" trying to sell up to 18 tickets together in section 121. That would likely be a travel agency such as GreatAtlanticTravel.com. Nobody bought their package so now they have to dump their seats quick.

DButz65 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 If the game was sold out, why would there be thousands of tickets available on ticketmaster through the TEAM? Also, why would they release on their twitter feed that tickets are on ticketmaster? The general admission tickets have been sold out since 1966 ... thats a fact! Whether it be brokers that buy season tickets, or plain ole fans like us, they are all sold out. Dream seats, suites, loge and club seats do not count towards sellouts in the nfl guidlines People can and do sell to ticket brokers, who in turn try and resell them, ala ticketmaster, dreamseats, atlantic travel etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
304 at The X Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Good one! There is a "person" trying to sell up to 18 tickets together in section 121. Notice, most of the in bulk sale tickets such as those are listed as "Pickup." There is a stub hub pickup location at fedex, where the team easily drops off tickets disguised as from others, to prevent a "non-sell out". ---------- Post added January-5th-2013 at 12:15 PM ---------- The general admission tickets have been sold out since 1966 ... thats a fact!

Read http://voices.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2010/10/redskins-colts_another_fedex_f.html and thousands of other articles by Dave McKenna Also, I have known plenty of people to get on the wait list and buy GA tickets the next season. Also, if they have always been sold out, why would Danny rip 10,000 seats out of the stadium??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins Diehard Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 That would likely be a travel agency such as GreatAtlanticTravel.com. Nobody bought their package so now they have to dump their seats quick. Perhaps...but there has been too many iterations of tickets showing up on ticket master for me to not think that somewhere between some and a lot of these tickets never had an owner in the first place. The same section that was offered to me before the season to come back as a season ticket holder have large blocks available now. Upper Deck...midfield. And there seems to be a lot that are available now at close to face...seems like there isn't much profit motivation to unload privately held tickets.

It is only run by the respective team's box office! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I held them for 4 seasons and gave them up for two primary reasons....my "upgrade" put me in seats i liked less than the ones I had and I had a tough time finding people to actually go to the games and could never unload them even at face. ---------- Post added January-5th-2013 at 12:21 PM ---------- Ticketmaster is not a reseller venue!

And they try to sell them over face on stubhub...and when that doesn't work they move them to ticketmaster...and then probably back to stubhub to get whatever they can for them. I don't blame this on Snyder...I am sure the ticket office gets latitude to approach this as they want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is sad that too many people in this fan base buy the fact that they can only get tickets if they buy season tickets. Call the box office any week of the season and you can sit pretty much anywhere. Also, if tickets were in such demand why would 10,000 seats be ripped out?

HOF44 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Ended up with 2 in Section 136 for 140 each. They had some dead endzone 200 section for 120, but I bought one's very near my other seats (236) so we are all kinda together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some deals are disappearing. Might still drop some if you have the will to wait until tonight. I was happy with the price though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
304 at The X Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 There are some good Loge and Dream Seats available through the TEAM on ticketmaster. Wouldn't be bad idea, if one had the funds for such. The Loge seats come with all you can eat buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFKFedEx Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Anyone know a GA STH's cost for a regular 100-200 level seat for this game? Face value, plus taxes and fees for total cost would be great. Thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx! $99 + 10% tax of $9.90 = $108.90. Thats what face is for LL non premium. There was a processing fee, forget what it was right now, like 5 bucks so $113.90 total if thats right.

MarkB452 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I was actually surprised too. >> The LEAGUE sets the price for playoffs, not Snyder (though not sure about premium seats). This fact was in an email STH got.. Dont't get your hopes up for next year. The team is playing a lot better and there are about 10,000 fewer seats than a few years ago.

Most teams automatically raise prices for post season. This makes me have doubts about a price increase for STHs next year. I was actually surprised too. I'm willing to bet 10:1 that STH prices go up next year. Snyder is a business man. He just brought in Jesus Chri... I mean, RGIII as a QB. He cut out 10% of his stadium seats. I am sure he purposely kept ticket prices down to keep enthusiasm up (he remembers the Detroit game better than I do). He has successfully brought the team back into the region's public eye at a level of enthusiasm that it hasn't seen in over a decade. 10:1. Any takers?

RFKFedEx Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 On average there about 10k seats floating on Stubhub for any game starting April. There are still several thousand seats for this playoff game. Seems like a lot of those chairs could be filled w/ new STHs or single game buyers if the demand is there. I don't see demand going up all that much in 2013, despite all of those factors working in favor of renewed enthusiasm with this franchise. If prices do go up for STHs, I don't think it will effect the secondary market all that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
