This is why forcing fans to buy pre-season tix is a scam

[hooskins]

The main thing that keeps me from going to the game is location. Landover MD sucks. Its far away, traffic on 495 is horrible and you can't do anything in landover after the game.

If the stadium were in dc I would not mind going to a preseason game for a reasonable price .

I agree. Landover (aka Raljohn) is the pits.

would you be happier if they just raised the regular season ticket prices and told you the pre-season is free, or raised the price of beer and hot dogs a little, or parking or merchandise.
either way there going to get your money.

If you are scrapping to save money for tickets, chances are high that you really can't afford them to begin with. We can't ask our politicians to be fiscally responsible if we can't even do it ourselves.

A good many of tickets holders probably cannot truthfully afford to be a season ticket holder and sell tickets of games to gain or recoup money back. These are the people that probably can't afford to go and probably have no business having season tickets. Better off just buying single game tickets to the ones you want to go to.

I don't get that whole marketing deal by the NFL. Why not just slap a $25 (or free) price on preseason tickets and transfer the rest to the regular season tickets? If you made preseason tickets free, the cost of tickets would go up $25 for each of the 8 home games. I keep hearing season ticket holders say they are at their limit in terms of paying more for season tickets and they are dropping them if they get continue to climb. Mind you, these were the same people that were in front of the line paying out season ticket invoices during a lockout when it wasn't even known if there was going to be a season.

Still can't believe it was called Raljon.

And I'll second the statement about Landover being a crappy place to have the stadium. There isn't anything to do out there besides go to the game.
