    Default Free season tickets for 2011 season if you sign up for 5 years.

    Got an email today from redskins to saying they are giving away season tickets for this year, if you sign up for 5 more years. Club level. All you have to do this year is buy parking pass and I think taxes. I asked how much I would have to pay in 2012 for my seats and he said somewhere in the 7k range. Must buy two tix. There is no way I'm taking up that offer but just thought I'd put it out there. 4% cap on tix increase over the 5 years. So no locked in price.

    No way I'm doing it. I'd rather just buy tickets off craigslist to the games i want to go to and I have a great scheme on doing it. Just wait about 2-3 hours before kick off, or an hour if you don't tailgate, call all the people on craigslist that haven't sold tickets, and then low ball them. Tell them "hey, game starts in an hour, might as well get what you can for them now." worked like a charm the past couple years. Sorry if this is taking advantage but hey, I'm not trying to make friend while buying skins tickets.

    Anyways anyone taking up this offer? might be just for ex club level sear holders. Got scammed into buying them one year after I drove 2 hours to pick a seat day, just to find out they were sold out and all they had were club. Oh well. You live and you learn.

    Yeah, I got both the e-mail and also something in the regular mail today about it. Both say "a number of game-day enhancements will be ready for 2011, including:

    * A larger than life Redskins History Wall, measuring 100 feet wide and 12 feet tall, recounting key periods of Redskins history through the decades. (comment: this sounds cool.....I'm wondering if this in on the club level, since the e-mail/mail were addressed to premium club)

    * Addition of more ticket takers, supervisors, ushers, and other staff to get you into the stadium more quickly, and to promptly address any game day issues

    *Enhanced in-seat waiter/waitress service

    *All restrooms will now have attendants throughout the game

    *Complimentary Redskins FanVision handheld devices to view replays, fantasy football updates, and scores from around the League

    I bet all of these things are club level only. I wonder what sort of enhancements they have for us Joe Twelve Packs in the Upper and Lower Levels?

    Free jerseys. Star player autographed jerseys if you buy four or more seats. Same deal as last August.

    When the Skins came clean about the removal of seats/party decks, they claimed that enhancements would be in store for the lower levels in 2011 and 2012. One e-mail cited by Steinberg in the Post a few weeks back mentions a new lower-level sports bar.

    I'm not going to attend the game this Friday, but would appreciate any pics people can take of this sports bar on the lower level, plus this history wall on the club level.

    Wow. I wonder what this says about:

    1) The amount of season ticket sales droppage, and

    2) The ticket office's opinion of how the season will go this year...

    Probably nothing. The club seats have never sold that well.

    Oh my bad. I didn't see "club level" in the OP.

    Yeah, time to get creative to fill those!

    Edit: By the way, I'll be down in Mandeville, LA starting in September for 6 months! Love the New Orleans area.

    Mandeville huh? Any plans to come down on the southshore and check out any Skins games in NOLA?

    (sorry, but oh well, this thread doesn't really have legs anyway)

    Where's a good place? I've read about the place on Bourbon, but that's about it.

    Re: in-seat waiter service

    I've sat in club seats many times and I've NEVER experienced any kind of waiter service. Unless you count the usual "beer here!" guys.

    So what does it mean that they are enhancing this service? It will actually exist?

    I asked my rep about that a couple months ago. She said there will definitely be servers taking food and drink orders this year, and if there are not, to let her know immediately. FWIW
