Got GAs for DC and Charlottesville this morning. ;D
Funny how the pair of DC tickets ended up costing $21 more than the pair of C'ville ones ($156.70 vs. $135.70).
Thanks, Mr. Snyder.

It was the venue presale for here in Charlottesville and there was no GA at all in the sale. The general sale is on Friday and for DC the general sale will be Mon I think.

I'm surprised there's not more talk about the on-sale this morning. I had no problem getting field seats. It looks like you can still get the $250 seats and the $30 seats, but the $55/$95 tickets are gone.

Amazing.
It pains me that even one cent of what I spend to see U2 will go into this man's pocket.

by all accounts, DC has the privilege of paying the highest % surcharges of the tour thanks to additional "venue fees" (aka the snyder tax).

I got shut out for general admission and I don't want to spend $50 for a $30 nosebleed seat. The service fee for Fedex is $8 per ticket in addition to Ticketmaster. How can that ass get away with that?

See, it's all about
synergy®. Everything Danny Douchenozzle touches turns to shit so all of his businesses suffer accordingly. He can't field a respectable NFL team; he buys Six Flags, fires the dancing old man, apparently fires the ride maintenence as well, and nearly kills the franchise (and it may still go under); he can't get anyone to listen to his radio stations, mostly because they have crap signals. So he has to snort money any way he can.
And, sorry to say this, but expect to pay ~$25 to park at FedEx.

From TM.com
Parking:
Parking price is included with the concert ticket purchase.
Parking is not included for Redskins games. Follow highway signs to parking.
——————–
The problem of course is that there isn't enough parking to begin with. I assume that if it sells out it will have a larger crowd than a Redskins game?

That's a good surprise. Wonder if Snyder knows about that (one cannot be too cynical when it comes to Master Danny).

yup, since there will be several thousand additional people on the GA field.

i've never been out to fedex. i'm definitely going to look in to metro, although i can only imagine what the metro station looks like after a game (let alone a concert with several thousand more from the field).
