You got a parking lot I can get into that'll cut my travel time from the 5 hours it takes me to get to DC?

I'm much more into going to college football games than pro. I enjoy the atmosphere more.

For me, it's about value vs cost. I think the tickets are overpriced, and have been for a good amount of years. Up until a few years ago, the Redskins had some of the highest ticket prices in the NFL, yet were one of the worst teams in the NFL. Now that other teams have new stadiums and expansions, our ticket prices have gone to around middle of the pack. Hell, the only reason he hasn't raised prices is due to the team not winning.

The money I would have to spend to get to DC, stay in a hotel, parking, concessions (or tailgate food) is simply not worth it to me. I personally think the NFL is probably going to price themselves out before it's all said and done. The sad thing is, I'm quite sure many of these fans really can't afford to be paying for tickets but they still do. Hard to ask Congress to be fiscally responsible when our own people can't do it.

Time. To me, that's more valuable than anything. At home (or a bar), I don't have to fight lines for drinks/food/bathrooms. Don't have to wait in lines to get in. Don't worry about having to ignore drunk obnoxious assholes. Don't have to worry about missing a play and able to see reviews on a whim. Trust me, I know all about live game days. I live about 1/2 mile from the stadium here in town and walk to a many of the games here. Love it, but then again, I get special access where I don't have to wait in lines and get free food. :cheeky-sm

Don't get to excited he was giving the wink and thumbs up to the girl behind you.

Re: Season Ticket Renewals

I drive 4 hours each way from North Jersey. Actually takes about 5 hours after the game. I go to about 6 games a year and love it. Football on TV is great to but there's nothing like being there live for me.

Re: Season Ticket Renewals

How much are season tickets for first time buyers? I know you have I sit in the nose bleeds to start, so how much would it be for a pair? Also what/ how are the payments done? Monthly? How much a month?

Re: Season Ticket Renewals

It all depends on where you sit at. I believe how the pricing works is endzone rows 16-29 are $44 each/game, 1-15 $64 each/game. Then sidelines 16-29 are $64 each/game, with 1-15 as $79 each/game.

I own four seats and green parking, which comes out to $3,864.00 for a season. If you buy season tickets before March 1st, you have a three-month plan, you pay March 1st, April 1st and May 1st. I think it came out to like $1,287.00, $1,284.00, $1,283.00, or something along that line for me. So just divide your total price into three.

I don't think first time buyers will pay anything different than a life long member.

So it depends on where you want to sit, endzone / sideline as well as what row.

Re: Season Ticket Renewals

My father, brother and I split it all up. Lets just say we don't buy anything unless we absolutely need it so we can keep anything saved for the tickets.

Re: Season Ticket Renewals

It's tough sometimes, especially after seeing what the $$$ turns into, but I guess that's why we're fans.
