They've had my season ticket money for 44 years.

The Skins have a 90,000 seat stadium and still have 140,000+ names on the waiting list.

or so they say. people tend to move through that list very very quickly though. It could just be a marketting ploy.

[Big C]

we have a deep fan base and very loyal, which helps us have highest attendance...other teams also hav that but we have biggest stadium in league!

i applied for 2 tickets to see how long the list was and i was 244,406. That was last week.

Thats because they are buying into the Tailgate Club, Club Seats or Dream Seats. Those are available pretty quickly. However, they are extremely expensive. For normal, face-value tickets the line is actually years long...

The list works very differently now that Snyder owns the team. He was unhappy with the long waits people had had so they institued policies that to diminish it. Basically now whenever you get a letter with some type of offer for general admission ticks you have to accept or you are removed from the list. They tell you that in the smal small print. There are lots of people now who think they are on the list and aren't really anymore.

Now the list for getting parking passes? That list might be 10 million strong. Or so it seems.

[cpayne5]

There are two lists now, also. One for regular admission and one for "premium" seating.

[That Guy]

if you're on the list, make sure you actually call them to get your current queue number. people that call in every so often seem to move faster.

[cpayne5]

I am number 67,984. I try to request it via email a couple times a year.

They told me that there are Premium Seats available now.

I've been on the list for 10 years and get a call every summer asking if I want tic's. Some day when I have a little more $$ I will jump on them. Then again once we win the Super Bowl this year I'm sure the tickets will become a lot harder to get.

[NAVYSKINSFAN]

I put myself on the list a few years ago with the intention of leaving my spot in line to my children in my will
