Email from Redskins ticket office

[44Dieselfan]

Thought I would share this with you all. It is an email I just got from the Redskins ticket office. Not only did my season tickets go way up, but I also have to give full payment by March 31. How am I going to convince my wife that I need to pay $4900 by March? I am not 100% pissed with the ticket increase, but I am pissed that they are giving us about 2-3 weeks to make full payment!








Dear Season Ticket Holder,

Your Redskins season ticket invoice is on the way! We look forward to your support in 2006 as Coach Gibbs and the team make a run at the NFC Championship.

With five straight wins to close the regular season and an upset playoff victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 2005 was one of the most successful and exciting campaigns in years. You won't want to miss a minute of the action this upcoming season at FedExField!

Please keep in mind invoice payments are due March 31, 2006.

If you have not received your invoice, or want to discuss relocation to lower priced tickets, please contact the Redskins Ticket Office at (301) 276-6050.

Hail to the Redskins!

[Combatant]

It said you can discuss relocation to lower prices tickets:laugh:

[StevieInferior]

SO I read the post article...I buy my seats in the lower level from a friend at face value. After the article, I thought my $79 seats had jumped to $109....but I just got an email from him saying the face value is the same and that they just added the tax. I was paying $1600 for a season, i am now paying $1752 according to his invoice...I can live w/ that

I own six seats in the upper level in my name and just got the email you postes...I am interested to see what the price will be.

[Lombardi's_kid_brother]

I wonder how much interest the Redskins earn on that money between March 31 and the opening pre-season game.

Someone smart: please calculate this.

[mikeyf316]

Are you sure they can't put you on some payment plan due to the short turn-around provided in the e-mail?

[HailRiggoRanger]

I got the same email but still haven't received the invoice. Does anyone know the new price of formerly $59 tickets?

[HailYeah]

Was it really necessary for them to fill you in on what happened last season? I dont think anyone who shells out that kind of money for tickets needs to be informed what happened to the skins last year.

Or maybe im just being an ass :)

Ditto. I'm still waiting too.. :(

[pseto]

I got the e-mail today too. I wish they would put how much you owe on it. I thought we had more time to pay last year, didn't think we'd only get a few weeks. Thats a lot of money to come up with in a short amount of time. I guess thats one of the ways they turn over the waitlist.

Where are your tickets in the lower level? I thought all of the tickets on the lower level (other than obstructed) went for the same $79 price. I know that in some stadiums (Texas Stadium) that lower level tickets cost more the closer you are to the 50 yard line. Corners and End Zones are cheaper.....wonder if they have adopted that sort of strategy here. Something like in baseball..you'll pay more for lowers between the bases. IF this is the case it might explain why your lower levels only went up by the tax amount.....

What section are you in? My dad's lower level $79 tickets are now $109.

Mine went from $59 to $70.40 with the increase and tax.

[MarkB452]

When the stadium was built, the lower seats between the endlines were one price and the lower level endzones were another. Not sure if this is still the case. My dad's $79 seats went up to $109.

It's not like you didn't know you were gonna have to pay for tickets around March. Yes the prices went up, but you knew money would be due. You could call the Ticket Office and ask how much your tickets are too.

how do u guys think i feel i have the dream seats to pay for, thats $8470.40 by march 31

I've got two accounts. I've paid late before. My experience is, if you don't pay on time, they will call you after a couple weeks and warn you that you must make the payment.

Another thing you can do is pay half on your account, then pay the rest when you get the nut up. This method at least lets them know you want the seats and intend to pay for them.

[Thanos]

Heck my invoice came weeks ago.The email arrived two days ago.

[SkinsLover]

I got my invoice and a day later I got the email LOL. What irritates me is that the invoice DATE is March 1st, IMPLYING you have thirty days to pay it. I received that invoice in the mail on March 9th, basically losing a week and a half. Whole thing due March 31st. There is no payment plan boys and girls LOLLL. That Prince Georges County tax of $88 bucks irritates me.
But oh, well. I love my Redskins!!!!!

That's a rack of $$$. Do you find that the dream seats are actually worth that amount of money?

I sit two rows behind the dream seats - and have the same view - and watch these people get sodas, peanuts, and hotdogs ....

I don't know if I'd pay that much for those tickets. I think that it would be amazing to sit in the seats in the endzone for a game or two - but thats a pretty hefty bill! :doh:

[stwasm]

Why can't the Redskins just do a payment plan on the season-ticket packages like the Mystics do? It would be MUCH easier to absorb the shock instead of getting it in the tookus all at once.

[gridironmike]

Mine went from $59 to $70.40 with the increase and tax.

My $59 tickets went to $71.10. I'm sorry folks, but upper level tickets are just not worth $70 plus. I'm in 448 row 24. $70???

Are you interested in selling your tickets and the rights to them? I know someone who wants to get in on tickets....

[skinsman4u]

I pay the same price and didn't get that message.

[rlhjr34]

yeah my mom had upper levels in row 27 section 419. They were TERRIBLE seats and were a total scam even when they were $45 ea. There is no way a price adjustment should be put on upper deck seats (unless they are in the first 10-15 rows) then maybe.

[Walking Deadman]

Yeah, I love it.....March 10th and I've still yet to get my invoice and it's due in 21 days.
Great, although, I think I only had about 15-20 days to get my invoice in last year as well.

[skinsman4u]

Now that's why I can afford an 06Escalade, but rather drive a 99 Blazer (I do my own maintenance) to afford those tickets. Geez glad the wife is ambitious and works. Lets see here 2400 sq feet home, a 7yr old truck and Redskin tickets....the kids better get scholarships.

[wsniper1]

@ $850 per seat and 90,000 seats @ 2% interest over 6 months.
they make an extra $765,000.

[skinsman4u]

Are you sure they can't put you on some payment plan due to the short turn-around provided in the e-mail?
I'm on a payment plan must be paid by 1 June...but I've been paying all year...the wife lets me save 440 a month and my fiscal is June 1. I'm paying 3k, 1 APR.

[Smokeskins]

I just got my first chance to get season tickets. they seemed extreamly happy to sell me 2 seats @ 2500.00. i was reading the contract over and it stated that there was a 6% increase if your contract was less than 6 years and a 3 percent increase if it was a 10yr contract. Are all the seats like that?? i thought they said in the paper that this is the first year that they have raised prices in a while. But they did give me until june 1st to pay everything

[Die Hard]

upset victory over Tampa? huh?

It was. Tampa was the 3rd rank seed in the NFC, they were at home, they were favored in the spread... they had more wins and they won their division.

I think beating Tampa was an upset by definition.

Hell, I got so much administration and John Grisham to read at home during the low tide of the off-season, when there's no reason to read the newspaper, that I haven't read my contract in years...I just drive this 99 Blazer (rear wheel drive :) ) do my own maintenance and save throughout the year. I also send flowers after every Dallas win with words of support and flowers after each draft with words of thought...so maybe some one put a word in for me on payment arrangements....worrrd. But nah I'm 5yrs right now and will increase my contract term in the near future. Hey man you got to send more flowers :silly:

Might have something to do with the NFL being a "sport" that people actually want to see ?

What section are you in? My dad's lower level $79 tickets are now $109.

[SkinsNut73]

I got the same e-mail yesterday.

I absolutely loved the subject line of the e-mail:

Your Redskins Season Ticket Invoice Is On the Way!

:)


Ooooo...yippeeee...a bill is on the way....how exciting :)
