hey miller101, ever sell any tix? i would be interested

Hey dmek, the answer would have been HECK YES! last year, but I...................couldn't re-up them man. :( The tickets just got to darn expensive for me. I mean, they rose in price almost one thousand bucks in just four years. I couldn't keep pace with that. I'm sorry to have misled you, but he asked for advice and I had to mention the tailgate club to him. It was fun while it lasted! But, its over now. And thats just for now! When I get a promotion........................or a tax cut :) I'll be calling the season ticket office and inquiring about them tickets again. :headbange

40+ year season ticket holder here, just adding to what's already been said.

The last row of the upper deck at FedEx will not be a pleasant experience if you are afraid of heights. Don't look behind you at the surrounding countryside. Some of the birds will be flying lower than you are seated.

I did not like my upper deck seat when I had them (3rd row). I found them too far away from the on-field action, compared to old RFK, and I couldn't hear the Redskin band.

The problem was the Plaza Level (Sec 300s) seats. Those seats are for businesses that could write off the expense. They are a venue for customer entertainment. You get restricted access, a higher quality of overpriced food, a cigar bar, HDTVs everywhere so that you can watch the game from the comfort of a lounge chair. The Cheerleaders entertain on that level after the games.

If you want to do that, why not watch from home, or your favorite sports bar.

The Redskins, of course, hope that you never leave the Plaza level. So, if they're offering a 50% discount for the first year, ask for a discount on the second year, too. See what happens.

Any unobstructed seat in the lower bowl (Sec 100s) is great. It should be at $99 per seat per game.

But do understand, big screen TVs are priced down around a season ticket package and you don't have to buy a new TV every season.

FedEx is large enough to accommodate all comers, so tix can be had for any game through StubHub or the scalpers on the parking lot on game day.

Out of curiosity, I checked StubHub for the price of the Eagles game on Wednesday prior. Someone was offering two lower level seats on the 40 yard line somewhere between the 15th & 20th row. Asking price: $120 each.

That was a premium over face value, but not much of one. You can get tickets for the game you want to go to and avoid having to pay for stupid preseason games.

Congratulations on your seat. Enjoy the season.
