Re: Looking for Advice from Season Ticket Holders

If your just going to sell the tickets on stub hub I'd pass on the season tickets and just buy better seats to a few games each year. I had upper level tickets and you will loose money trying to sell them unless we are having a very good season. Remember you have other cost like taxes, fee's, and you also have to buy preseason tickets at the same price as regular season tickets. I found that I'd have to sell them at $100 per ticket to break even and there are a bunch of people selling them for less. Yea, they might ask more at first but they tend to drop their prices as the season get closer. I had to sell a few on craigs list for just about nothing for a game or two I could not go to and I was not the only one selling tickets on craigs list. It might even be harder living in the are as people will just go to the game and pick up cheap tickets at the last moment. You will find people here who say they will buy some tickets from you but I found no buyers when I posted them here for sale.

Very true...Redskins season tickets are not money makers. Only game conistently worth more then face is Dallas but what season ticket holder wants to sell the dallas game. I go to most of the games so I don't have that much trouble but the most frustrating part of trying to sell a game to me is that the non season ticket holder does not understand the price differences in the upper deck. Row 15 and down is priced higher then row 16 and up...so non ticketholders think they are getting a bargain buying row 20 when in reality the owner of row 20 is making more profit then the guy in row 12 just trying to get his money back. I had a much easier time selling my extra tickets when i was in row 25 then I do now in row 10.
