stupid me.  How do I buy parking passes for individual games? 

Try the Nats website at http://washington.nationals.mlb.com/was/ballpark/parking.jsp or sites like parkwhiz.com, Parking Panda, and Spot Hero.

There are lots of cash lots too. JDland has a goo roundup at http://www.jdland.com/dc/stadium-parking-lots.cfm, which needs to be updated for this season.

Is there a break for SPHs when they buy individual games?  I thought there was some sort of button to click for a SPH discount.

[Mathguy]

Given where you live JCA, why would you be concerned about parking ?

Yep, 20% for full season ticket holders, log in to your www.nationals.com/mytickets account and go to the special offers tab, that brings you into the individual games tab (which actually allows you to select specific section and seats now that the mad rush for tickets is over).

Thanks.  Bothers me that I've never been able to figure out how to click through to mytickets from the website.  I've done it, but usually through the billing section.

On of the members of my group lives far away and would like parking.  I wanted to pick up the passes for him.  He's going to do it on his own due to timing now.

You're not alone, I can't figure it out either and it bothers me too.  Maybe when they finish with the "maintenance" on the Nats Access site we'll be able to do that - I can't even figure a way to the SPH website from the main website anymore.

You will be able to begin your exchanges once you receive your NATS PLUS Card in the mail in early March. At that point, go to nationals.com/exchange to begin the process of your ticket exchange.

So fill up your exchanges on Werth Chia Pets, Livo and RZimm bobbleheads.

This is dumb.  A lot of people use tablets that don't even have a USB drive.  So this "box" must be small; no?  If all it contains is a Flat Card USB drive.

Seriously? No computer access? OK, I'll play. If you can't load a USB drive, I'm sure they will get you the information some other way.

And the box will have your cards plus the flat USB drive. But, really, who cares how big the box is? I just want the damn cards and the online portal to go live and I'm good to go.

I want to know what to look out for.  A lot of people are replacing their "computers" with tablets.  I have a friend who is not computer savvy.  She uses the library.  Not a secure place to stick in a usb.

I logged into my my tickets account on www.nationals .  com, but when I clicked on the special offers tab, I did not see anything on how to buy additional tickets at a discount.  There were no offers.  I thought that was the way to get tickets at the SPH discount?

Proceed and you will notice that the prices are automatically discounted per your plan.

When you click on the Special Offers button, you should see a line for "Multiple Dates", "2015 Half Season NATS PLUS Member
Discount Ticket Offer", and a button for "Details".  Click on the "Details button and it will take you to a list of games to select from.

not there.  "There are no promotions at this time" is what I get.  No "Multiple dates," etc...  I've got to call my rep.

Do you have more than one account? Have you used different emails?

[JCA-CrystalCity]

I have a different account on MLB.com and nationals.com/mytickets.  My rep straightened this out.  The weird thing is I tried my nationals number first and somehow must have typoed the password because it did not take it. That is why I was using the MLB.com account, which did not show the discount.

I knew it. A couple of my partners had a similar problem last year. I told them to delete all extra accounts and just work with one. I'm glad you solved it.

Off topic, but I just got an email as a Nationals Insider saying that 500 more tickets were released for OD. I logged on about 10 minutes after receiving the email and only SRO tickets were available.
