Redskins Tickets Available For $4: Report

WASHINGTON, DC — It's hard to believe the Redskins share the same town as the World Series champion Washington Nationals, WNBA champion Washington Mystics, and 2018 Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals, where you'd have to pay in the hundreds of dollars for decent seats. Why is that? Because you can reportedly grab a ticket for Sunday's game at FedEx Field against the Lions for just 4 bucks.

Fox 5 reports that they were able to find upper-level tickets for as little as $4. Ticketmaster currently shows plenty of tickets at $7 apiece. Is that still too steep of a price? You can get a 10 percent discount through TicketNetwork on the tickets by using the code "PatchTickets10" at checkout.

Of course, it's hard to fault D.C.-area residents for not wanting to pay big bucks to travel to suburban Maryland to watch a 1-9 football team that just got destroyed at home by the previously two-win Jets. Many would argue that this is the worst Redskins team of the Dan Snyder era.

But there are signs that discontentment with the Redskins go much deeper than simply a bad team. Longtime Washington Post columnist Thomas Boswell penned a piece last week titled, "What once seemed impossible is now undeniable: The Redskins have lost Washington."

The piece struck a chord with readers, and has drawn nearly 3,000 comments as of Thursday afternoon since it was published on Nov. 17.

"Washington has discovered that champions can live here," Boswell wrote. "So why tolerate, let alone support, an atrociously run and constantly embarrassing franchise with a moral compass that is as twisted as a corkscrew?"

Unfortunately for fans hoping for Dan Snyder to give up and sell the team, the reclusive owner is unlikely to be hurt in the pocketbook by a lack of fan interest due to the way the NFL is set up. Teams share revenues, so any problems with the Redskins fanbase are only likely to cause some long-term concern for the NFL, but not any short-term pain for Snyder — other than, perhaps, a bruised ego.

The Redskins, formerly one of the most highly valued franchises on the planet, have tumbled down the Forbes ranking list for most valuable NFL teams, but they're still at No. 7 with a valuation of $3.4 billion as of September 2019 — just ahead of the green-clad team that stomped them last Sunday.
