Skins sell ticket straight to scalpers

I've been to RFK and Fed Ex.

We've talked about the problem w/ the ticket brokers since the Steeler game, although the post did magnify the problem of it which included some Skins salesmen.

Maybe i'm a little older and a little more frugal now, but I just think the expense and time of going to a game is too much for me. I used to go to one game a year now I'd like to but don't always. I typically have to buy from a broker if i can't get it by other means.

At Fed Ex, the best time for me is tailgating. I'd love to go to tailgate, bring a HD w/ satellite, sit in the parking lot and watch the game. Once it ends, i'm out, and can be at home in 2 hrs or so.

If I go, it's $300+ (if my wife doesn't go) and i don't get home til 830 or 9pm for a 1pm game. That's a 13 hour trip.

RFK was more of an experience. Almost all skins fans. Cheaper. Different time. More of a "skins family" type feel that you don't always get at FE.

I see this argument and my question is this: Are you sure they're trying to get you to buy general admission tickets? Not Club Tickets. There's a difference. Club tickets aren't sold as season tickets.
I have received both but I did not even count the club ticket stuff I received. It has gone someting like this over the 4 or so things I received.

1st- Get season tics in the same section as your past tics.
2nd- Good news you prior seats are open so rush today to get them back.
3rd- Combo of 1st and 2nd letter.
4th- We now have tickets in the same section but lower down and closer
to the action.

I posted about this and others here who had let go of their season tickets are getting some of the same mail. I also forgot about the one that came to my home (others came to office which was address I used when I had season tics) that said I finally was up on the list and could call to claim my season tickets. I think that came from something I filled out before I got my season tickets about 5 years ago.

Who cares? If the fans aren't buying them then they can sell them to whom ever they want. This is what happens when you have a 90,000 + seat stadium. At RFK this would never have happened. I'd rather be stabbed in the eyeballs then go over to Fed Ex Field.

Exactly

Here's a hypthetical question, that really happens.

What about those Season Ticket holders, that sell off a portion of thier season tickets in order to finance the purchase of the following years season tickets?

Tons of people will buy season tickets, go to 4 or 5 games, and sell the remaining tickets at a marked up price and use the profit to pay for next years seeason tickets.

How do we classify those fans? They literally pay for season tickets for one year, and then all subsequent years are paid for with "house money".

Really the scalpers in return will sell them at outrageous prices I am afraid!

Ugh...not so much. Unless you have some of the coveted $99 seats then there's zero chance you're selling the other tickets for enough to pay for next season's tickets. They simply don't fetch all that much. You can get maybe face for the upper bowls in decent games, possibly a little more than face for the really popular games and less than face for about half of the games total. If you break even on the ones you've sold you have performed a minor capitalistic miracle.

For the more expensive tickets you're lucky to get face at all for any games. Just because Stub Hub has tickets listed for $200-$300 doesn't mean they sell.

Speaking about tickets: I was offered season tickets for this year in section 221 for $1400. Does anyone know if this is a good deal or not?

A piece? No. Or at least I highly doubt it. 221 shouldn't be more than $79 or $99 I think. So face on those would be 790-990. Might be wrong though

For the season and with two seats. I always sit in the lower level when i go and really do not know much about the club level. Im just fishing for feedback before i shell out $1400 for seats.
