Not Renewing My Season Tic's

I am pretty sure we are alright as Stubhub is "the Official Ticket Marketplace of the Washington Redskins"

See: Redskins Tickets - Washington Redskins Tickets at StubHub! (http://www.stubhub.com/washington-redskins-tickets/redskins-ticketcenter/?GCID=C12289x254-tixnav)

I got this link from the Redskins website (Washington Redskins (http://www.redskins.com/)) - just go to the "tickets" section - they have a direct link to StubHub.
StubHub is the official site to sell the tickets but if you read the aggrement with season tickets it says clearly that selling the entire season tick is against the rules. It reads like this.

Season tickets packages may not be advertised or sold at any price. It then goes on to say that you can sell individual tickets to some games and talks about stubhub. So like I sadi I would be very careful offering the entire package as they can revoke the season tickets.

Stubhub explicitly states that one cannot sell entire packages on their site somewhere.

I wish I had season tickets, I'd love to go to two games a year, sell the rest on stubhub and actually make a profit.

The profit to be had from selling season tickets is a pipe dream. Maybe some people who have 1st level 50 yard line can sell for a profit but for most season ticket holders it's a losing battle. When you figure in the 2 worthless preseason games and the fees added onto the invoice you are already about $400 down by the time September rolls around. With a 90,000 seat stadium there is only a few games where the demand will be greater then the supply. Then add in the 15% fee that stub hub takes from your sells. My tickets in row 12 of the 2nd level are $80...so I need to sell them for $94 each just to break even. There are very few games that i can get $94 per ticket for on Stub Hub. I love having my tickets and I will never give them up...but the idea that some people have that they are some sort of cash cow is just not true.

I didn't realize it was so hard to sell them for the Skins.

My knowledge is of Red Sox games, and you can sell bleacher seats for $75 for goodness sake. People will pay it too. It's extremely easy to sell your sox tickets for 2 and possibly 3 times thier face value.

The game experience is worth it now I admit the tickets are getting high and the Giants are no different but we had our seats with the Giants since 1949 in the Polo grounds of Brooklyn.No TV can match a real game and as for money we don't buy a thing at the game.Now we share I have a big family and we work things out but we all agree we must try to keep them as long as we can.

Well I only got my season tickets last year and I have decided not renew them unless someone can talk me into keeping them. My thinking is that I only go to a few games each year and it would be cheaper and much easier than haviing to sell my other tickets to just buy ones for a few games. I have four and have to buy 8 preseason tickets at $65.00 which is $520 which is a wasted because I don't go to those and could not sell them. If I add that to the games I attend at a cost of about the same $520 that gives me around a thousand dollars to spend for tickets without any hassel of selling tickets. You also have other cost and taxes which would bring that figure to around $1,200. So if I wanted to go to two games a year and its just me an the wife I would have $300 per ticket to spend and could get much better seating than section 428. So what do youu guys think?

Email me, I'll buy them from you. Then I will scalp them, make a nice profit and tell you how much money I made!!!!

Polo Grounds of Brooklyn? Polo grounds were in Manhattan, up past what is now Spanish Harlem.

My friend and I stub hubbed our season tix last year. He spoke to the Skins office and they gave him the go ahead. The Skins sanction resale through stub hub and, in fact, advertise it at the games.

I don't think they sanction other ways of resale. It may be one of those where DS says - "If you do it this way it's okay (since I get a cut). If you do it any other way, I'll revoke your tix since I get nothing out of it".

As for those who oppose reselling as it may give opps the ability to take our seats, I say then buy my tix. I buy them and resell them, not for a profit but so that I can hold onto them year to year and get better seats. The Preseason is a bitch but I look forward to being able to take my son to games in our seats. That includes those games that may be prohibitive (Dallas, Philly) in years where there is something at stake.

For the Dallas game this year, tix for seats comprable to mine went for 3x there face value on stub hub. Sorry, it's worth it to me to hold onto them and stub hub them until my financial situation improves.The Rangers do the same thing with the Rangers Ticket exchange. I sold a game against the Bruins for 70/each and a game against the Flyers for 80/each and my tickets face value is 30 each. They take a 5% commission. In the literature they send with my tickets, they make it clear that the ticketexchange is the only permissible re-sale method. Do they monitor Ebay and StubHub? No idea, but no point in risking it, imo.

The Redsox stadium is smaller and they have been very good for the past several years which is probably raising demand even higher. And they are also not the best comparison since the historic venue they play in makes it a tourist attraction for everyone visiting Boston, not just Redsox fans.

There is a very high demand for Redskins tickets but a 92,000 seat stadium does a lot to curtail that demand. The problem in selling Redskins tickets is that you are always selling up against 5000 or more people, and non season ticket holders do not understand the price structure of the stadium. Row 15 and down in the upper deck is $80 but above row 15 is like $60. So what happens is that people with the real cheap tickets can mark those up much more and still make it look like they are selling them at a discount, whereas like I said in my first post I need to sell at $94 a ticket on stubhub to break even. Unless it's a big game in order to get sells I need to drop my price closer to what the top upper deck seats cost and I end up taking a loss.
