Washington Post Apparently cashing in
on the success of their first playoff appearance since 2007, the Washington
Redskins announced Thursday that they are increasing the cost of tickets and
parking at FedEx Field for 2013.
The price increase of
general admission seats, which the team reports is “no more than 10 percent,”
is the first in seven years for the Redskins. The cost of parking will increase
to $40. The price of reserved spaces, and spots for buses, RVs and limos remains
unchanged for the 2013 season.
Last season, an upper
deck ticket cost $64. According to a team marketing report conducted by
FanCostExperience.com, the average Redskins ticket in 2012 cost $79.13, which
ranked 11th in the NFL and third in the NFC, behind the Giants ($111.69) and
Cowboys ($110.20).
The Redskins announced
that even with the increase, their tickets will “remain among the most
affordable in the NFC East.” The Redskins are one of four teams in the
division.
I should have known better. For the past few years, Daniel
Snyder has shut the fuck up and stayed out of the spotlight so that actual adults
could run the Redskins. For years Snyder and Vinny Cerrato treated free agency
like a fucking 6th grade girls sleepover. Once March 1st
rolled around they’d call up all the boys they liked and asked if they “liked
them back” aka offered them ungodly amounts of money. Now, fucking Skybox
Napoleon wants Redskins fans to know who they’re really cheering for when they
throw on that RG3 jersey.
Snyder tries hard to say he’s a diehard Redskins fan and
will do whatever it takes just to see them win a Super Bowl, but it’s all bullshit.
The NFL is a business and Snyder is a great fucking business man. Don’t let
that $40 parking fool you. That’s for the cheapest spots a mile away from the stadium.
Want a good one? At least $100. Snyder isn’t adjusting prices for inflation, he’s
penalizing us for being born as Redskins fans.
But still, tickets “remain among the most affordable in the NFC East.”
Meanwhile Daniel Snyder remains among the biggest douchebag owners in all of
Sports.
