Re: 2011 Season Tickets available

I have season tickets, waited over 20 years for mine, but the line is no where near that long now a days. My seats are in the lower level now but I started upstairs in the corner endzone. With the exception of the Dallas game, there are few circumstances where you can make a profit off of selling an upper level Redskins ticket. When you factor in the online selling fee for Stub Hub or Ebay you actually have to sell for over face value just to break even...that is the biggest obsticle to making a profit. And when you factor in the pre season games that you get nothing for it will be a decent size loss.

In my experience I was actually able to sell the seats way up top for more of a profit then i could when i was lower in the upper deck. The reason is that not a lot of non season ticket holders realize that there are different prices in the upper deck. Row 15 and down goes up like $20 but when you list the tickets online they show up with all the tickets from that section and it looks like you are not pricing them competitively.

Anyway to summarize...you will not make money at first but if you can afford to take some moderate losses each year in the meantime then by the time you can actually use them maybe you will have been upgraded to better seats for your troubles. Once you get to the lower level selling is easier, and you can even make a little extra to cover some preseason losses.
