A New Revenue Stream For Danny Boy

To be clear, this isn't actually a new revenue stream for the Redskins. It's just speculation by Old Man Mudge

I take everything he posts as pure speculation. He's the WP's Florio. :laughing-

Ticket prices don't concern me personally. The way I figure it is if you don't want to pay the price, don't go. Simple supply and demand at play. Besides, whether the team is a playoff team or not doesn't drive ticket prices. Where do the Skins stack up against the rest of the league?

Ive never seen Snyder as greedy businessman wanting to stick it to the Redskins fans to make a quick buck. Never that. I think in terms of business, he is one of the brightest owners in the league.

Ive always viewed Snyder as a huge effing Skins fan who wants nothing more to win, but his damn ego has gotten in the way, thinking he can make smart football decisions. He has been part of decisions that lead this to an embarressing bottom that we are now digging ourself out of. With the hiring of Bruce and Shanny though he showed maturity that he can change for the better and I think its kinda time to lay off the bashing.

Where do the Skins stack up against the rest of the league?


Nowhere near the top.

NFL.com news: Jets, Giants have steepest ticket price increases (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d81a9c43b/article/jets-giants-have-steepest-ticket-price-increases)


An older survey:

Ticket prices don't concern me personally. The way I figure it is if you don't want to pay the price, don't go. Simple supply and demand at play. Besides, whether the team is a playoff team or not doesn't drive ticket prices. Where do the Skins stack up against the rest of the league?


I think that is where you'd determine the true answer. How much of everything else in the free world has skyrocketed in price since 2005? Oil being the biggest thing, which then affects the price of food and affects the price of other businesses. Why would it not affect sporting events? Music events that I attend on an annual basis have tripled in price since about five years ago.

The truth is, it doesn't matter how good or bad that team is, fans are still flocking to the games year in and year out. Until they simply decide to stop spending the money on the tickets, they really can't blame Snyder. Nobody has forced them at gun point to purchase tickets.

Nowhere near the top.

Which is why I don't mind going to Charlotte this year to watch the Redskins play the Panthers! :) Shoot, Panthers and 49ers are practically giving away seats...LOL!

They are currently middle of the pack is my guess, but the problem is, they have been overpriced for about 10 years now. I agree with what you said about the market and demand, and it's exactly why I don't have season tickets or go to many games. The cost doesn't justify the rewards I will get, when I can stay home and get the same for less.

I don't agree with a playoff team doesn't drive prices. A playoff team will in fact increase the demand for a team which will soon affect the prices. It's hard to say that it would for the Redskins because of the stadium being so big. Having a 90,000+ stadium works against you as much as it does for you.

Yeah, right now.

As early as 2006, the Redskins were 2nd on the list of highest ticket prices in the NFL.

NFL team-by-team average ticket prices - NFL - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2576495)


That's the whole point. They've been charging premium prices for tickets for teams that were well below the norm in terms of production. It's finally got to the point where they can't raise (or justify) the ticket price raises to the fanbase anymore without them winning first.

A lot of teams shot up with new stadiums. Dallas went insanely high with the Giants and Colts.

Jerry will even charge exorbitant fees for seats which do not exist.

$332 for a ticket? I'm sorry thats insane. That's basically making it impossible for alot of fans to ever see a game. Personally I like watching games on my couch more anyway!
