How dost thou pay for thy season tickets?

I've been on the waiting list for 15 years. Sounds like I may be in luck in another 5 years or so...Yippee!


I would send them a letter/email each season asking for your place in the line, becasue it wasn't until I did that during last season that they then sent out a letter telling me that my wait was up. I wonder a little bit if they forgot about me and then saw how long I was on the list and decided to make room for me. I don't know how they keep track of the list or if thats possible, but it just seemed a little suspicous that I came off the list shortly after contacting them. So if you have been on 15 years I would definitely keep track of where you stand each season. They say the average wait on the list is 10 years which is total BS, but I would think at 15 years in you should be getting somewhat close. At least close enough to ask...

All this season ticket talk got me curious as to where I currently stand in line. All it took was a couple emails to tickets@redskins.com to get my current status. I'm #88,246. I was 103k+ last year. Moving up 15k spots in a year isn't bad, IMO. They said they "have a number of Club Seats available at this time". If I had the money right now and could get good seats, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

These last few years have been great for moving up the list. At this point though, with Gibbs back, id expect to be waiting for a while. You can pretty much always get the more expensive tickets. They send my dad offers all the tiem to upgrade to the suite level and crap like that.

I heard that when Gibbs and Co signed back on, 20k+ people signed up for the list. I'm glad I signed up when I did!

The 'Skins contacted me via postcard every other year about my waitlist number before I got my seats for this season. Yes, I'm nosebleed, two rows from heaven in the corner of the endzone, but IT IS HEAVEN finally having the seats. They contacted me last October telling me my waitlist number came up and told me I could purchase up to four seats. Only wanted two so they asked for $50 per seat down payment. Faxed it to them with credit card number that same day. The bill showed up two weeks ago and had five days to get it in. Mailed it from PA on Tuesday; they received it on Thursday. They give you seven days to get it in.

I just got my season tickets this year after more than 20 years on the wait list. I charged them to my credit card. My seats are up top in the corner of the end zone. It came to about 1200 for 2 season tickets.

And here's the great club seat conundrum:

My friend got the two club seats that I buy from him as a ten year package under the John Kent Cooke administration. This is important, because JohnKC didn't put an escalator clause in his contract, so there is no cost of living increase for the tickets - I'm paying 1998 dollars. Snyder has corrected that flaw in the ticket system.

My cost for two tickets and a parking pass - $3000. And that's why there are empty seats and a waiting list.

In '99 I got 2 Redskins season ticks for $2000. 8th row, 20 yd line. Great seats and worth every penny. Year before we were in wildcard game at home against DET and I was hooked. Bought those single game seats for the playoff and was eternally hooked. Can't sit in upper level anymore. I'm on the waiting list, but this season my friend sold me 2 tickets for 1500 bux in 200's 20 yd line. Pretty much cost. Parking pass may cost me an extra couple hundred bux. If there is a will there is a way. Hunt on ebay and talk to people. Always friends bailing on sunday morning.... Joe Crisp give me a shout! Or c me at Sticky Rice! Can't wait til Training Camp!!!

GO SKINS!
