    So you just buy a regular Green pass and then park in the Green B3 lot. My understanding is that there is no dedicated Green B3 lot in the playoffs. General Green allows you to park in any Green lot.
    The Green B3 lot has been there for a long time. Last year was the first year they had a dedicated B3 pass for it. For the playoffs it seems that they are reverting to how it was in previous years.

    In 1999, a regular season ticket for Section 418 Row 18 was $40. Same seat for the playoff game cost $65.

    The thing that annoys me is that parking isn't included in the invoice and in order to get parking I have to pay an additional $5.25 per parking pass for a surcharge. Seems to me that it should be in with your regular invoice and included under that "convenience charge".
    I understand your concern about the parking pass cost. But the Skins probably had no way to issue parking passes electronically and chose to use an existing system used by the Super Bowl and other professional teams. Why re-invent the wheel? My understanding is most NFL teams raise the ticket prices for playoff games. The Skins did not so I'm not really bothered by the extra service charge.

    Too many people think that when something is "electronic" that there is no cost involved. But there is....the cost of software development and maintenance, the servers, staffing, management, credit card processing fees, and profit. It's not just the digital bits flying across the internet to your printer so you can print the parking pass.

    And I'd like to add, no one ever seems to ***** about the 10% amusement tax we all pay to Prince Georges County. Exactly what did Prince Georges County do for any of us to amuse us? People should ***** about the tax which costs a lot more than the service charge that allows us to order our tickets and parking passes sitting on our fat lazy asses instead of driving to the stadium to pickup our tickets and parking passes before the game.

    Sorry.....I'm on an anti-tax rant.....pissed I get so little for all the damn money I pay to the federal government. I'm fairly satisfied with what I get out of my state and local governments for what I pay.

    In addition to the e-mail offer, I received an invoice through the mail. It stated that the prices are set by the NFL

    I understand how it works but it will add to the amount of people that will get pushed to that lot earlier. Never said Ive always done it this way just afraid this will mess up my system. Im guessing they will be opening the road by the sports complex as theyve done previously.

    The NFL sets the max price allowable....it's up to the individual clubs to price within that framework. I commend the Skins for holding the line on prices...

    from a Packers story...

    A Green Bay Press-Gazette report says playoff ticket prices are set by the NFL and based on normal seat prices. A seat that generally costs $92 would be $121 for a wild-card game, $148 for a divisional playoff and $220 for the NFC championship.
