NFL games are a much better overall experience sitting at home, watching in HD, and not being gouged by prices for food and drinks. For me, going to a game anymore is a pretty big event due to the overall cost. I'd much prefer to watch it at home and cuss at my tv all day long. It's a product made for TV these days. 44 minutes ago, CTskin said: 1-3" was in the forecast for Monday. Now I see that's changed... either the ticket prices are going up or the great deals have been gobbled up because there's a lot less dark green on seatgeek than there was yesterday. Still lots of good deals, but you're right about yesterday. It was crazy seeing $30 club level tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_cims Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 From what ive seen recently the closer rows to the field are being bought up/pick of litter tickets. But prices are still bouncing around. By Monday morning It won't cost much to get into the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is so much you miss from the TV shots that you get from being at the game and seeing the whole field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superozman Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 $6 for the cheapest ticket. $6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Don't care. I have great seats, 200's, Skins side, under-cover, last row backed up to a suite. We're completely sheltered from the elements and the heat from the suite rolls over us. We can stand up as much as we want. I've only had to sell my tickets, once, and had no problem getting face value for them. I gotta admit, that's definitely not the norm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to that I might be going. $13 is the cheapest on the internet with fees. It's possible its $6 without fees but yeah i would post a thread on ticket prices on a weekly basis. most of the ES tailgaters know how stingy i am for ticket prices.

It's considered a dick move, when we're on offense, and everyone else in the section is sitting. I like to stand too, which was a major factor, when we chose our seats. In any case, there are a variety of factors to consider,(the importance of the game, the section, the crowd around you, if there are fans behind you, who are physically unable to stand the whole time, etc.) When we're on defense, all bets are off, especially on critical downs. JMHO, of course. The "sit/stand" thing is probably worthy of its own thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_cims Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Lower level mostly stands. Other section do not in my experience. Hopefully Monday night, Everyone will be feeling ALRIGHT. We can get rowdy and just turn stadium into skins party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 well if you bought tickets last week, you could have bought 3 tickets at the same price today. I thought $30 dollars was a steal last week but now they are down to $10! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeTheBeal! Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 The stadium is a trash heap in the middle of nowhere. Add in Monday night and lousy weather, and that's what you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpage520 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Yeah, I can give some folks a pass here. I don't think it was really fair to use this against the "When the team is good the prices will skyrocket" stuff. That's still true. The team has had a good start, but they're also only one game above .500. Plus, There are multiple factors at play. Weather is one thing. But transportation is probably the biggest. Since Metro is essentially out of the question you've taken a lot of folks out of the equation right there. Monday night games are already a NIGHTMARE to get to unless you're on the road before about 4pm. Last year my cousin literally left Loudoun County about 4p and couldn't get into the lot until about 7:30p There's also holiday travel to consider as well as regular traffic. It's just an unsavory mix of elements in play here. Normally, I'm right there with you as someone who pretty much goes no matter what. Been there in pouring rain, bitter cold, heat, snow, on Christmas Eve, you name it. Hell, if I could get my work schedule straightened out, I'd probably be going.

skinfan2k Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 There is 0 precipitation in the forecast. Also this team even good will never sell out like RFK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpage520 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 The team also played in five Super Bowls while RFK was home. A few down years is one thing. But during the time they were at RFK for the most part the team was one of the more well respected and powerhouse teams in the whole league. They've never seen even an inkling of anything close to the same kind of success since being at Fedex. Especially having been on the decline going in.

The Mayor of Fed Ex Field Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I have been a season ticket holder since 2001. Started in section 442, row 29 and now I am in 12 rows from the 30. Ive never once sold my tickets for a loss. Us fans don't get to pick the teams stadium, we can only go to the games and support the team. FedEx isnt a "trash heap" or "sub par", and even if you think it is, its still our home field. I love FedEx Field, and I have been to most of the game played there. For those that don't have season tickets, or go to many games because of the price, then surely take advantage of low ticket prices, for a nationally televised game, that if we win, keeps us in playoff contention. And I stand pretty much the entire game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hail2skins Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Still over 200 tickets in the club right now available under $100, over half of which are below $80. Yeah, the Monday traffic getting to the stadium is likely more of a pain than for a Sunday night game. I was curious and it seems that the Skins play a disproportional number of their night games at home. I was trying to exclude the ones that were flexed (ie the 2012 game vs Dallas) and came up with 55 originally scheduled night games the Skins have played since FedEx opened in 1997.......and 33 have been at home. This season is the fourth time at FedEx where our three scheduled night games have all been at home......only once (in 2001) were our three night games on the road.

hail2skins Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Funny that, given what the prices are like on Stubhub for this contest, that not much really has changed from a demand perspective from two years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybrant Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Welp. Thanks to this thread I'll be driving down on Monday from Western Maryland. Couldn't pass up front row club seats for $70 a piece. A nice little Christmas gift for myself. So.. Thanks sf2K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
