I wonder if we'll see a lot of that this week with Giants fans coming to town. [Or already in town. Plenty of them live in the DC area.] We need a service that guarantees tickets will be sold only to home town fans.
We do. It's called Winning Football games. We do that and more "fans" will want the tickets.

Giants fans are going to be paying tons to get into their new stadium, especially the "good seats", so expect more and more fans coming down here to see the games. I think that will be "just the way it is" for some time to come.

Not sure with the economy as it is ticket prices are staying the same and are dropping in some places.

People are complaining about people selling tickets to visiting fans? How bout somebody write Dan Snyder a letter asking him to give back the millions of dollars stub hub pays for the Redskins to put their logo all over Fed-Ex. The team should buy back season ticket holders tickets for face value if they can not make an event and resell them to other people on the season ticket waiting list. Don't hate the playa, hate the game!
Well why can't the people on the waiting list go to Stub hub and buy the tickets themself?

Some people do this; the problem is that some tickets are a 400% mark up over the original seat cost. A season ticket holder could essentially pay for his season tickets by selling 2 games.

I and others here have all said that we had trouble just selling them at our cost. When we would get to Thursday before the game I would have to sell them on craigslist at a loss. Some people jack up their prices alot but there are also a bunch of tickets for sale at a very small mark up if any.

I bought 2 tickets from stub hub for the Dallas game with no parking pass. Section 101, which is LL 50 Yard Line. The price listed on the 2 tickets themselves was $99.00 or $198.00 for the 2 of them.
I paid 1,130.00 for 2 seats after Taxes and S&H on stub-hub which was actually about $100.00 per ticket less than those who were offering Parking passes as well.
Now my question is do season ticket holders pay face value for the ticket or is that print on the front of the ticket BS?
This is good to know because I just reserved my seats for next season. All I have paid is the reservation fee (100.00 per seat so far). I am under the impression that I pay a fee which is a little over 2 grand for the 1st season on top of the face value for each seat. After the first year I just pay for the face value of my seats...Right?
Disclaimer: I have stated before that my uncle has season tickets and that he sells his every year and buys better seats. Sometimes I attend games with him, but in no way were those season tickets ever actually mine... Just in case somebody tries to pull the old "I thought you already had season tickets" bit.

400-level available on stubhub for 120, not bad for stubhub. Unfortunately, I am getting married in less than 3 months, so liquidity is not at its highest.
