2019 Season Plan Renewals - Schedule is out

[afscotch]

Anyone interested in being a partner on my account next year?  Believe the min to get your own card is 10 games, but I'm open to 5.  No way I'm renewing on my own for next year.  Message me if interested.

116, Row AA, 2 seats
$114/game ($57/seat)

Gotta say, that policy is incredibly stupid.

Ugh, why did I sign up for two years? My friends bought my tickets for last night and I just had to tell them that they either need to drive down to Nats Park and pay game day parking prices to exchange them at the box office or the tickets are unusable. For some reason they assumed that the Nats had a normal rain check policy.

I just put them on StubHub, hopefully they'll sell at a quarter of face value. (Did I mention that it barely rained?)

If you are thinking of buying a Nats ticket plan, my advice is don't.

I signed up for two years to shield myself from a price increase so they better as hell raise ticket prices next season

Ha! I thought the same thing. Looks like they did.

Does anyone have the actual price breakdown for postseason, by round and section?  All I have in my invoice is just a total due, with no specific breakdown.

The 2017 early renewal prices are below, which should get you close.  Remember, they charge for all possible home games so: 1*regular season price (potential WC play-in game), 1*WC, 3*NLDS (best of 5), 4*NLCS (best of 7), 4*World Series (best of 7).  Whatever isn't played is applied to the next season ticket bill.

prices are Wild Card, NLDS, NLCS, World Seres

If you're a SPH, it looks like you could have exchanged Aug 3 tickets for a future game online. See below. I had my rep do it for me because I was traveling.

Season Plan Holders choosing to use their rain check ticket for a different 2018 regular season game must visit nationals.com/exchange for processing.

Single game ticket holders, who purchased through nationals.com, choosing to use their rain check ticket for a different 2018 regular season game must bring their ticket from the cancelled game to the Nationals Park Box Office for processing.

Looks like you’re better off buying single games through stubhub

This is true for almost everyone.

I go to enough games and like my seats and neighbors that I find it worth it. And the Nats do a good job to bring value to their season plan holders. I have been a plan holder with another team and the Nats are superior.

But For most folks, stubhub is the more money efficient option.

Well said. If it's just about money and buying the cheapest seats then being a SPH is not the way to go. But there are other benefits that make it worthwhile.

Is there not one other person here that signed up for the one year Nat For Life option, and is now trying to end the auto renewal?

Sorry. I did two years.

[LoveAngelos]

I like my playoff seats last but this year they suck.
So much for longevity  of account.
It will make the inevitable less of a new disappointing

Seems like most people did the two year renewal. What a pain in the ass signing up for a single season and being hassled for opting out.

I couldn't go tonight so I listed by tickets on Stubhub for a third of face value, two sold and two didn't. Typical this season, but usually the prices don't bottom out until September.

I guess I get to be the Guinea pig. Just don't understand why they are being so obtuse about it.

Yeah, that is strange, if you signed up for Nats for Life you definitely would have known it and your prices would not have gone up. The Nats are operating like one of those shady gyms that get your billing info and then never take you out of the system.

I'm Nats for Life, which I believed to be automatic with the payment plan.  They are actually being more open and upfront about opting out than I anticipated.   I got the email and my rep called me a day or two before the email to tell me I have until Sep 1st to decide (email says 3rd). I was expecting the shady gym/SiriusXM approach where they hope you don't notice. 

Anyone want to jump on my plan for next year?

Sec 116, row AA, $57/seat, have two seats.

For 2019, if you go to the New NatsPlus Memberships section on the website, you can choose your seats (there isn't much there), but did anyone notice that sections are color-coded based on the row?  It looks like the Nats are gearing up for different pricing levels in each section sometime in the future.   In Section 203 for example -- there are 4 different colors:  Row A is black, Rows B-C are Red, Rows D-H are white and rows J-P are blue.  Right now (2019) only Row A has different pricing, but this looks like something that may happen in 2020.   (and yes this is my first post, but I am a long-time lurker)

This has not been my experience at all.

What are the prices for Row A vs Other rows in that section?

I did one year, and plan to send an email opting out.  Am I missing something?  It seems fairly straight forward (?)

I can’t get to this. Do you have a link?

I sent them email telling the Nats that I opt out. Along with a note requesting the Nats reply to confirm they received it and that yes I am opting out.

They refuse to do this. Instead they keep telling me I don't understand what I signed last season.

I'm curious to hear how your opt out email goes over.

[dunderwooo]

Go to nationals.com/2019 and then pick either full or half membership.  You will be able to select seats from there.  If it doesn't let you select specific seats use a different browser (Explorer works for me, Chrome doesn't).
