If the waiting list for season tickets continues to be a mile long, Dan Snyder will continue to raise prices. I think every Redskins fan could agree, long miss the years of Jack Kent Cooke. HTTR

I personally would like to thank all of those who do buy tickets to go to NFL games so I can watch them on TV. Unless you have great seats, I don’t get the frustration and the experience.

Another reason why the Baltimore Ravens is Maryland’s team

Another example of how obnoxious ravens fans can be. How is paying those sweet PSL’s M and T Bank has?

Going to the game is awesome for me!! I LOVE IT!!!

Sure its expensive, sure concessions are expensive (we drink a few beers b4 going in and rarely buy anything inside), cheerleaders are better in person, this year i finally got over how crappy the parking is there – its all the price of admission. Sure watching a redskins game is awesome on my hd tv and i do it for every away game.

You cant compare the two experiences though. Watching live on tv vs live in person – anything, just different animals and for.those who choose to pay for the adrenaline rush that being at the game can bring, more power to them

Well at one time the Patriots and Redskins were 1-2 in ticket pricing but as of 2012….

Team Ticket price
Jets $117.94
Patriots $117.84
Giants $111.69
Bears $110.91
Cowboys $110.70

The Pats have dropped to #2 the Skins don’t even make the top 5, of course that could change now with the ticket price increase the Skins might move up…

Simply put: if you’re willing to pay $40 to park for the “privilege” of paying already ridiculous prices to watch an NFL game………you’re an idiot.

$40 to park a car for 4 hours is totally obscene just to watch the Redskins lose. If l lived in that town you can count me out. The NFL has gone bonkers!!!

People in the comment section are funny- oh my god concession prices and parking are so expensive!! Tell me what NFL stadium you can get cheap concessions. And OMG parking went up a whopping $5 per game!!!!!!!!

this article also fails to mention that this is the first time in 7 years that the ticket and parking prices have gone up.

Perhaps the Redskins might consider an upgrade to the playing experience and fix their damn field.

Maybe they can use the extra money to put in some fieldturf instead of playing on a sandbox.

$40 to park. And Kommissar Goodell wonders why people are choosing to stay at home and watch it there.

It’s a fine line, if they lose games tickets don’t really go up and fans lose interest, but if they win some games the cost will shoot up and fans that want to go to the games have to pay more. Either way I think it’s stupid to get that pumped as a fan base, to lose in the first round of the playoffs just like either two previous attempts.

The economy is in the crapper, the value of our dollar is at an all-time low, and prices for NFL tickets have pretty much doubled in the past decade. No wonder blackouts are increasing. Pretty soon, the NFL will be a game only the rich can follow.

You know I don’t know why people complain about the traffic before and after the game. If you look at the number of vehicles trying to exit all at the same time it’s to be expected, me and the wife went to the Redskins vs Vikings game and actually it wasn’t that bad leaving the usual backup in the immediate stadium area but once out on 495/95 it was actually pretty good. Now for those who like to take their time and arrive at the very last moment you get what you deserve in that case…proper planning will eliminate most of the traffic headache…

This is comedy. The NFL knows their operating costs are going to plunge in about 5 or 10 years. Squeeze us now while they can!

Just think. They now pay half of what they used to for rookies, and once the Brees’s, Manning’s and Brady’s of the NFL are gone, I don’t think they’ll ever shell out more than an $80 million contract again.

Ive gone to every skins game for the past 7 seasons and watch the mess they put on the field. Now one decent season and you want to raise prices? Thanks Redskins for showing your loyal fans some loyalty. Unbelievable! !

Well, as long as teams are continuing to sell out games, then the prices will continue to rise as greedy owners look to bleed the public as much as possible. It’s pathetic, though, when these billionaire owners of billion dollar teams in a league worth hundreds of billions cry poor and threaten to leave when the cities don’t build their lavish palaces.

Considering this is the first price hike in 7 or so years, no big deal…but as one poster stated earlier the NFL needs to wake up as the only thing growing monetarily is the income of the sport(s) and it’s players…the fans a great majority have had to make sacrifices i.e. no raises pay freezes etc., fans might sacrifice and make it to one or two games but to try and puchase season tickets is going to be tough…

I used to be good for at least 1 Skins game a year, but I quit that 3 years ago because the absurd refreshment prices, and Jim Zorn. Now $40 to park? I can get a case of beer, pack of Dogs, Buns, Chips, Dip, Chains and a whip for under $40. And that doesn’t even include tickets.

Instead I will continue to be in my warm house, watching my fabulous HD TV and never have to wait in line for the pisser.
