The dumpster fire that is the Washington Redskins has reached its lowest moment yet (we say “yet”, because — somehow — we feel rock bottom hasn’t been hit in D.C.). The Redskins are playing the St. Louis Rams on Sunday in a game clearly nobody wants to watch. Thousands of tickets remain unsold for Sunday’s game, with standing room tickets at FedEx Field going for as low as $3. If you want to park your butt in an actual seat, that’ll cost a dollar more:
According to SeatGeek — a site that tracks ticket sales to sporting events and concerts — the Redskins’ tickets are selling on the secondary market for as little as $4 apiece, with the standing-room-only tickets listed for as little as $3. Lower level tickets are on sale for as low as $25, and even the “Dream Seats” behind the Redskins’ bench are listed on the re-sale market for well below their value, at $91 per ticket. Those tickets normally go for several hundred dollars apiece.
The average price of the tickets to the game is just $31, which would represents the cheapest average price for a regular season Redskins home game since 2009, according to SeatGeek.
Since September, Redskins ticket prices have dropped 64 percent. Originally, tickets went for an average of $87 apiece, and the figure dropped to $51 in October, $38 for November home games and then $31 this week.
Meanwhile, parking pass rates for FedEx Field aren’t following the same trend, as getting shitfaced in the parking lot has never been more vital to the Redskins experience.
