Snyder unable to sell out Sunday's Commanders-Cowboys game

[Skinsmaniac]

The Commanders are still trying to sell individual game tickets for this Sunday's game on their website. You have to be a season ticket holder or waitlist member to log in and buy the tickets. Just goes to show how FedEx is too big and the downturn has hurt people's ability to pay for sporting events.

Except that DC has one of the lowest unemployment rates in America, thanks to the Feds and gummint contractors.

I think this is why Jerry capped the new stadium at 80k seats instead of making the default 100k.

Please don't forget this folks.

Hmmmmmm......

If I left tomorrow morning.....

Wow. Thats terrible.

Opening day, Sunday night football, nationally televised, big time rivalry game, new coach, new QB.

Pathetic. Cowboy fans would sell out to see Campo and Chad Hutchinson.

Washington area sports teams rarely sell out. It's because they suck.

It's easier for Philly fans to come down here to watch the Phillies play the Nationals because there are always tickets available.

 

[Venger]

No excuse for the Commanders not being able to sell out the season opener with the Cowboys. None at all.

 

[bbgun]

Holy crap. Does this mean I might not see the game this Sunday due to a local blackout?

wrong. when i lived in dallas (the henson, hutch vinny days), single game and season tix were not sold out. in comparison, the skins had a 20 year waitlist for season tix and it was common for them to be passed down in wills. i'm a diehard cowboys fan but that statement is just false imo. sorry.

But But But they have one of the most LOYAL fanbases in the entire league. I wonder how Doc Walker could spin this crap since he loves to bag on the Cowboy fanbase. Just goes to show that the Commander fanbase is no different than any other.

why was I under the impression that the Commanders held the league record for consecutive sellouts? Was that like 10 years ago or did they move into a larger stadium while I was in a coma?

I don't know that nationally televised games can be blacked out locally. However even if they can, the league instituted a rule allowing owners to avoid blackouts as long as the visiting team receives all of the money the would have received if it had been a sell out. So Snyder has had to in essence buy his own tickets. The blackout deadline has already passed - it's been announced that the Bucs are being blacked out.

i know they lost a ton of fans when danny pulled some crazy stunts by suing season ticket holders who were out of work and couldn't live up to their season ticket contracts. it was really a class move by danny boy....

Does that effect NFL Sunday Ticket subscribers too?

Only if you live within 75 miles of the stadium being blacked out.

If he increased the size to 100k, but cut all of the prices in half, he'd sell out every time. I don't see why he didn't, especially considering the larger economics of scale and size.

I'd imagine if he cut the ticket prices by about 25% across the board and increased the seating capacity to 100k+, he'd more than make up the difference in concessions and merch.
