Tickets Anyone?

A lot of talk surrounding the Washington Redskins home game for the Detroit Lions this Sunday surrounds just how cheap tickets can be had for on the secondary market. We take a look at some of the buzz!

Just how cheap can you get a ticket to Sunday's scintillating showdown at FedExField for?

Four dollars! For real? If you can get into the "Hail BBQ" tailgate, now you're really cooking. 

Earlier this week, yes. On Seatgeek.com per Robert Klemko, now of  The Washington Post posted this that I put on our community page here at Redskins Maven & SI.  

On Stubhub.com Friday night, the cheapest I could find was for a pair at $14.50 each in Section 403. 

Club level seats were going for just over $20. 

Back on Seatgeek, the lowest ticket price on Friday night are back up to $12 each. 

What may have happened, and likely occurred, is that fans started snatching up the insanely low priced tickets and that caused the secondary market inflation. 

The same for VividSeats.com. The market corrected itself a bit. 

Then there was this eye sore for the Redskins: 

Redskins are selling club level tix to sunday’s game vs Lions for $760 per ticket after fees. Same exclusive seats are currently going for $15 on secondary market. #HTTR

Luxury tickets costing less than a NY Strip at Outback Steakhouse? 

However, while the negative spin is always easy - there's also the likely reality as captured by my pal Ed Sheahin. 

#Redskins crowds the last 4 years in late Nov. or Dec. The last 3 years look the same. In 2016 the place was packed and excited for a playoff birth until Cousins threw an INT. Fans come if you win. Stay home when you lose. Nature of the beast. Not dying, just down. #HTTR pic.twitter.com/9rv7H9DaLQ
