[...] 5. Little Danny Snyder’s crash and burn. He’s obnoxious, he’s cocky, he hangs out with Tom Cruise (which is just gross enough without continuing), and he never met an overpriced free-agent he didn’t like. This year, Snyder’s front office sued a little old lady long-time Redskins season-ticket holder who has fallen on hard economic times and couldn’t pay for her season tickets through the life of the contract. (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/09/02/AR2009090203887.html) Yes, I know she was legally obligated. I get it. But the Redskins could very easily have let Granny out of her contract and sold that seat license to somebody else two minutes later. Unless the speculation the once legendary Redskins season ticket wait list has evaporated as a result of Snyder’s mismanagement and general assholery is true.

I was on the "old" waiting list when you once received a postcard, yes postcard, with your updated position number on the waiting list. When JKC stadium opened, I was @7k range on the waiting list. The expansion went from @57k to @90k, I should have clearly fallen inside the nearly 30k seat/ticket expansion. Never heard a word. Contacted the tix office with every card I had recieved including my most recent waiting list #, I was awarded with a new starting #. YEA RIGHT1

I was on the list for 6 years and was shocked when I got my chance for season tickets. Knowing the history of the tickets, I never thought I'd get them. I'm waiting for my most likely sucky seats and a big bill. Being a lifelong Skins fanatic, I was very excited. Now I feel sad and used and am considering giving up my $200 deposit. This season's schedule stinks anyway. I still love my Redskins and I still can't stand Snyder. What's next -- will I find out there's no Santa Claus???

Not only did i get the offer from the Redskins for season tickets, but after i ignored it, the same letter was sent to each of my (divorced) parents' house. Last month i got married and moved in with my wife, and when i used the USPS change of address service, a season ticket offer showed up at my new address.

i signed up for the waitlist many years ago, and each of the past 3 seasons i have gotten offers, but never with this vigor.

Insert joke about the team working this hard here.

I've been on the waiting list for 6 years and have received nothing like that.

I have received the same mass mailing for the past three seasons. I always thought it was truly remarkable that 200,000 people could process through the waitlist every season (sarcasm included).

Figures that Snyder lied about the Skins waiting list! Danny Boy and Vinny destroyed what was once a proud franchise. What a bunch of lying liars!
