We need to ensure this doesn't happen vs the Cowboys, and that it DOES happen against the Ravens...

supply and demand, when you have 20,000 more seats than everyone else, you subject yourself to season ticket holders who aren't as "die hard"

Wow this is still going huh? Better buy up those tix, because Dallas will have a big following on Sunday night.

With continuing the theme of this thread, I blame last night's loss on the Philly fans that sold their tickets to the obnoxious giant fans. wait JK. Defeated fair and square.

Another divisional loss (0-3). How dont know how many opportunities we were given to win that game, but we just couldnt capitalize. It was poor play calling at the end. McNabb should of been throwing screens instead of westbrook running the ball.

But, thats spilled milk. Maybe the Ravens will have better luck next week.

Hey if it makes you feel any better they have the Eagles above Dallas in the division standings.

Im not sure why that is. They should be a half game up. Thats cool though.

So when the redskins beat dallas next week, we wont be tied for last, if we can win too.

Or an even crazier scenario, God forbid i say this here, but if the skins lose against dallas AND philly wins against Cincy, its three way tie for second (or last, however you see it) in which we will still be at the bottom of the division.

I am hoping for the first one so that we can all distance ourselves from the cowgirls.

But thanks for the inspiration.

Re: F... Selling Tickets to the Visiting Team
 

Hey! I just recieved an email from the Redskins and.................Apparently, This is how bad Dallas sucks, the visiting team has returned alot of their tickets back to the Redskins. I must say that I've been a season ticket holder since 2002 and this is the first time that I've seen Dallas return some of their tickets. So, if you guys are interested in going to the game just call up the ticket office and ask for tickets.

The tickets that are allocated to the Visiting team are in the lower level (at the visitor tunnel, and the 50 yard line on the visitor side), Obstructed view (quite a few of these are always available), the club, and finally the loge (booth) level.

Two of my friends are now going that weren't going before! Join them! Join them before Cowboy fans do! Be loud! Tell Tony Homo what your REAL thoughts are of him! Make fun of TO! And be sure to jump up everytime you see Campbell throw the deep ball against these "VERY GOOD" rookie corners of the Cowboys!

People are complaining about people selling tickets to visiting fans?

The team should buy back season ticket holders tickets for face value if they can not make an event and resell them to other people on the season ticket waiting list.

Re: F... Selling Tickets to the Visiting Team
 

I wonder if we'll see a lot of that this week with Giants fans coming to town. [Or already in town. Plenty of them live in the DC area.] We need a service that guarantees tickets will be sold only to home town fans.

We do. It's called Winning Football games. We do that and more "fans" will want the tickets.

Re: F... Selling Tickets to the Visiting Team
 

Giants fans are going to be paying tons to get into their new stadium, especially the "good seats", so expect more and more fans coming down here to see the games. I think that will be "just the way it is" for some time to come.

Well why can't the people on the waiting list go to Stub hub and buy the tickets themself?

[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]Some people do this; the problem is that some tickets are a 400% mark up over the original seat cost. A season ticket holder could essentially pay for his season tickets by selling 2 games.[/FONT][/COLOR]

I and others here have all said that we had trouble just selling them at our cost. When we would get to Thursday before the game I would have to sell them on craigslist at a loss. Some people jack up their prices alot but there are also a bunch of tickets for sale at a very small mark up if any.

I bought 2 tickets from stub hub for the Dallas game with no parking pass. Section 101, which is LL 50 Yard Line. The price listed on the 2 tickets themselves was $99.00 or $198.00 for the 2 of them.

I paid 1,130.00 for 2 seats after Taxes and S&H on stub-hub which was actually about $100.00 per ticket less than those who were offering Parking passes as well.

Now my question is do season ticket holders pay face value for the ticket or is that print on the front of the ticket BS?

This is good to know because I just reserved my seats for next season. All I have paid is the reservation fee (100.00 per seat so far). I am under the impression that I pay a fee which is a little over 2 grand for the 1st season on top of the face value for each seat. After the first year I just pay for the face value of my seats...Right?

Disclaimer: I have stated before that my uncle has season tickets and that he sells his every year and buys better seats. Sometimes I attend games with him, but in no way were those season tickets ever actually mine... Just in case somebody tries to pull the old "I thought you already had season tickets" bit.

Re: F... Selling Tickets to the Visiting Team
 

400-level available on stubhub for 120, not bad for stubhub. Unfortunately, I am getting married in less than 3 months, so liquidity is not at its highest.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.

I have season tickets. Trust me it is only possible to break even if you sell a set one game at a time. Besides the huge games most other tickets fetch less than face. And the reason the big games get so much money? OTHER TEAMS FANS ARE WILLING TO PAY IT. Firstdown had it right. All the people complaining need to be going to stubhub and buying the tickets. Until then, zip it.

Please read my previous post and answer the questions then.

Edit. These tickets are listed for $265 to $750 each. When you get the tickets in the mail the cost on the ticket itself is $99. So who is cashing in?

We pay face value, on the front of the ticket.... but we also pay the exact same face value for two preseason games and at least 4 games a year that fetch less than face. A $99 dollar ticket will run $1040. Seeing as 2 games of the year are worthless and AT LEAST 4 games are worth maybe 3/4 face(being generous) that means to sell the other four games and break even someone has to sell that $99 for 173.25. It just doesn't happen. The people who drive up the prices are the opposing fans to the big games. If our fan base went to more games then it wouldn't be a problem. It isn't the season ticket holders at all. Blame those who aren't season ticket holders (and could be) but still complain.

The Dallas game is the exception to the rule when selling tickets but when I couldn't go I sold mine to a friend for $100 each (that was about my cost). The price on the ticket is the price paid by the ticket holder. When I had my tickets I paid ticket price, taxes, and some handling cost which was not that much. I don't know what that 2,000 is unless your getting one of those packages that you have to pay for something besides the tickets. The one deal I saw like that you have to pay that every year to keep the season tickets.

Now I kind of see where you are comming from. It still doesn't make sense as to why I paid $1100 for 2 $99 tickets. In reality that guy damn near paid for his season tickets with that 1 game.

I am basing this off of what I remember reading when I put my name on the list 6 years ago. I thought that it read something like 2,000 (plus or minus) for the [B]first season only[/B] and the cost per ticket. After the first season it was cost per ticket only.

That is just what I remember from the reading (6 years ago) I could be wrong or mistaken though. All I know is that I reserved 4 seats for next season; I have paid the refundable $100 per seat, and I requested lower level. We will see what happens.

Did you shop around for tickets or just found the seats and paid what they were asking? If you purchased the tickets way in advance they knew they could lower the price as the game got closer. The Dallas game is one that people know they can sell their tickets so they can hold them longer trying to get top dollar.

You will probably get uper level because people who have had season tickets are waiting to get lower section. They get the first offer and then it goes in order from there. So you would be last on the list for people wanting lower level, but its a start. If you were just on the list you should not have to pay that 2,000 your talking about. For upper level it averages out to cost about $100 to $125 per season game depending on you seat location.

If you watch those tickets on stub hub you will see them dropping in price over the next few days. The best place to find tickets is craigslist a couple of days before the game. Thats only true if you live in an area where ther are alot of season ticket holders. This is what I see here in our area and these will drop alot as the game gets closer.

I bought them 2 weeks in advance and I purchased the lowest priced ones located in the section that I wanted to sit in from Stub Hub. I did not shop around on other sites, maybe I should have. On the other hand I feel more confident purchasing from stub hub than from an individual seller from something like "craigs list". With all of the fraud and scams these days I like to purchase from a trustworthy source even though it may be a tad more expensive.

Your missing the point with my statement. You have to protect the integrity of your venue. If only people on the season ticket waiting list have a shot at the game then opposing team fans can not get them as easy. Stubhub allows any fan to get the tickets and the majority of the time I bet they do go to the visiting team. Was anyone on this board at the Pitt game? Probably not because it was 60-40 Steelers to Redskins. It was quite possibly the lowest point of Fed Ex field history.
