DMD Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 It's almost like there is a fundamental, franchise-wide problem with the Redsk,,, Commanders. Hopefully Danny Snyder can get to the bottom of the issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) A security deposit was required for multi-year season tickets for a particular seat? Like a security deposit when you rent an apartment? And it was 25% of the cost of the seats for one year? Anybody else that has had season tickets ever hear of that? All kinds of stealing going on, some of it apparently legal, others not so much. The article indicates the team was keeping 2 sets of books, like a good crooked enterprise....they pocked about $5M, from 2000 ticket holders. A pittance (about $150K per team) to the NFL revenue sharing, but an average of $2500 to those season ticket holders is pretty substantial to an average fan (though people with a multi-year season ticket may be more affluent) And of course the Commanders say they have done nothing wrong and anybody accusing them of such things is a criminal ("anybody saying this committed perjury plain and simple").

purplemonster Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Confusing to me because I would think those season tix holders would be complaining and also seems like a pittance for the trouble incurred, 5 million or a portion of that saved? I assume there will be more details coming because it doesn't totally make sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard of seat licenses, where I "buy the rights" to buy the season tickets , and season ticket holders can by and sell these seat licenses to each other. The republican party also said the same thing "Commanders did nothing wrong, and it's a democratic witch hunt) https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/apr/3/commanders-probe-partisan-tone/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
