Quote:A few years ago Washington removed like 8,000 seats to make their capacity smaller.  The media picked up on the story, but seemed to justify it and applaud the Redskins.  We would have been crushed.

 

Agree.

 

Plus, it's pretty well known that what years ago was a bonafide waiting list, that their current so-called "waiting list" is likely a fraud.  Has been for about ten years.  The google is rich with articles on it.

 

Used to be that folks would have to put their children's name on the list if they wanted a chance to get tickets by the time they were adults.  Not so anymore.  In fact, many believe it's a bidder's market.  It's become such a sham, Snyder refuses to be transparent on the topic.  We do know for a fact that the removed seats were unsold, so that's what brought the "waiting list" unicorn back to life.

 

The story here is about seat squatters aren't getting their money back.  What this story tells us is that there are brokers and squatters giving up their seats to a new round of brokers and squatters, who will continue the cycle until no more brokers and squatters are willing to lose money on those seats.
