I plan on going with my son tomorrow (Memorial Day), and plan on getting some cheap StubHub seats tomorrow AM.

Tickets are starting at about $20 on StubHub for tomorrow's game right now. Wait until just before they close sales (2 hours before game time) and you can probably find a bargain.

Does anyone know when does StubHub cut off event ticket sales?

is it an hour before game time?

The eCash thing is nice, but the Barves give their season ticket holders a 33% discount on concessions

Bump for 2015. Has anyone seen any new discount ticket codes? I understand the SPH code no longer works.

If you are a season plan holder, you can order tickets at a discount by logging on to the My Nationals tickets website:

http://washington.nationals.mlb.com/was/ticketing/mytickets.jsp

Click on the Special Offers button and the Discount Ticket Offer.

For example, the Saturday May 9 game is a Marquee game, the L/R Mezzanine seat price is $40, but the half season plan holder discount price is $34.

Thanks for the "BID" code! Seems to be the only one that works so far.

Papa John's promotion from last year, 50% off the day after Nats win and score 6 runs has been updated to 7 runs this year. Don't they know the Nats are struggling on offense?

THANKS OBAMA

(Partly serious. They have to pay more for employee healthcare now. Promotions can't be as good.)

Between caps, wiz, dcu, skins, and nats nobody in this area should ever pay full price for papa John's.

VISITDC and a few of the others seem to still be live.

Does anyone know if there's any kind of ST holder eCash offer this year, e.g. load $x to your card and get $y bonus?

It was actually 7 last year as well, going up from 5 the year before.

Full season plan holders get 20% in ecash, half-season holders get 15%, and partial plan holders get 5% (I think).

Jr. Nats Club members have not yet received our discount codes for 2015, which is really annoying, the team pushes this perk as one of the main benefits for joining the club then stalls on fulfilling their obligation.

Right. It's actually awarded as instant cash back on concession purchases.
