I tried accessing it directly (from 'To view the complete Season Ticket Holder Agreement Terms and Conditions for all 2013 Renewals Click Here') from MyNationalsTickets and it's not there either.
They had better not be demanding renewals to be in by 1st September - I need to see those 2013 prices first because we of Uncle Sam's paper-pushing brigade are under a pay freeze for a third year (and quite possibly beyond), and also in September I'll know how much the rent for my flat will be (now that the Columbia Pike streetcar has been approved, rents are going to start heading into the stratosphere and condominium conversions will return) - if the Lerners decide to go Ted Leonsis on us and sharply hike prices (Capitals ticket prices, at least in the centre mezzanine 400's where I used to sit, have doubled since the 04-05 lock-out) well something's going to have to give.
If the front office really does shove a gun in the back of my head and demands that I re-up by 1st September, it's over...I'm not signing an irrevocable election for a pig-in-a-poke...TBSITH may well have a new ticketholder-of-record next season.
How do the Caps handle the balance of playoff ticket and renewals going out at about the same time?
As far as the 9/1 date for renewals, I'm certain that the team is going to offer incentives to get people to commit at that point, but as in the past they'll give you up to right before the season starts before making your seats available for other buyers.
It will be interesting to see if they raise prices or reduce the perks. With attendance jumping up it wouldn't surprise me, but with ten thousand empty seats per game on average they still have a ways to go to increase the STH base. I suspect that they will hold the line on STH prices while jacking up single game prices in order to get the game by game people to buy plans.
