Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About FedExField

[RedskinsFan72]

Im looking to travel down from Massachusetts for a game this year.
I really dont know the stadium at all.
To be safe, would it just be easier to buy seats in the 400 sections? As long as I can see the whole field, I dont care how far back I am.

I've been to FedEx 4 or 5 times and I'm always in the nosebleed. What exactly is blocking your view in the obstructed view section? Everything seems to be open from what I could tell.

you can't see the obstructued view seats from the 400s

they are underneath the overhang, behind some pillars

thnx for the heads up...we should have a ticket warning section

Yes, RF72 any seat in the 400 section is upper deck and unobstructed (unless the guy in front of you is 7' tall and stands the whole game). I have season tickets in the upper level and am wary of upgrading, given the possibility of getting "upgraded" to obstructed view seats. I also like the bird's eye view of the game.

In the 400 sections, not only will you see the whole field, but also the entire eastern seaboard and if you look down and to the left, you will see helicopters buzzing about.

Mark, are the face value of these seats the same as the others?

You also have to watch this one guy who says he is from UK. He says he is selling them for his boss. $1000 for 4 club seat level. He didn't realize he was being dumb and said the payment would be done through an escrow. His problem with the escrow scenerio is legit escrow companies say that the money is in a seperate account until the buyer gets the item and notify' them that it is what it is. He said all of this in his advertisement. The only thing is I thought about it and the Redskins don't release any tickets until the end of July. I called Redskins to verify that there wasn't certain corporate tickets that got released early. They indicated nobody gets tickets until late July. Everybody need be aware of this. I almost fell for thinking I was getting a lifetime deal and was anxious as I don't know.

That stinks when I buy me tickets I am going to make a thread to rate them.

[chef8181]

I've bought upper level tickets on eBay 3 times and never been burned. But I always ignore the marketing BS and look at the seat numbers. Then I check out the stadium seating chart which along with my knowledge of having been there a few times keeps me from buying something I don't really want. Also I try to buy directly from individuals not the ticket brokers. If you look at a sellers reputation and listings you can tell if they are a broker. You'll get a better deal from an individual most of the time.

My wife fell for the same thing last year. When I realized that she sent a western union transaction and noticed that eBay stronlgy urges people not to do this, i started doing some research. None of the email adresses matched employees of the so called "third-party-transaction" . . . they even hada bunk website (I was able to see the links were all bogus by viewing the HTML source code). Luckily for us i called Western Union and cancelled to order before it had been cahsed. Luckily the guy lives in England so it was probably 4am their time. I filed a fraud report with eBay and his auction was removed immeidately. I'm surprised he still has the balls to keep shqwoing up. Someone needs to put his butt in jail. Be very careful, only use Paypal . . and worst case scenario, you can find scalpers in the lot if need be.

Mark you are on the case. Thanks for the informative posts concerning the seating. I am working a deal with a close friend of mine for some "Obstructed View" seats. We are discussing me purchasing half the season with the parking pass for face value. He insists that there is a great chance that the seats will be upgraded but he will not know for sure until mid summer.

He has been clear that a pillar blocks some 15 yards of view, so I know what I am getting into. The price is right and it is a good way to lock up half the season early, after all, can you put a price on a good Redskin Tailgate?

When I have the exact Section, Row and seat number I will PM you if you dont mind and get your input on these seats specifically.

Thanks. See you for the Jets game.

The problem with the upgrade is the new cost. Two years ago, an upgrade would cost you $10 per seat per game. Now the upgrade costs you $78 per seat per game. That is a significant amount of money. And, suddenly, the obstructed view seats don't look so bad, particularly when you consider they are under cover from the rain, and if it's not raining, you can simply move to unobstructed view seats somewhere else in the stadium later in the game. There are always empty seats somewhere.

See you there!

Hi, the new price on the obstructed view seats for 2006 dropped down to $32 each, per seat per game. There are other "limited view" seats in the area where the block is not so bad, usually just a corner of the endzone. I'm not sure what the price of those are this year. Last year they were $59 or $69 depending on how far back you were (the obstructed views were $49 last year). There are other seats in this area with a clear view. They were $79 last year. I'd imagine they are $110 this year with all the other lower levels.

[LoudMouth12thMan]

Man that is just some funny stuff. Tickets aren't even issued yet and if you know the stadium you know where the obstructed seats are. Silly, just plain silly. At least the guy will be there though. Just a hell of a lot of money for a fine view of concrete.

Wow, you got lucky.

I saw that guy too last year. If you checked his other items for sale, he had "tickets" in ten different stadiums he was trying to sell. I turned him into ebay repeatedly, and they shut him down over and over. He'd just open up again under a new seller name.
