Tickets for Redskins Thanksgiving game vs. Giants going for as little as $7
WASHINGTON - The playoff hopes for the Washington Redskins took a big hit Sunday after they lost to the New Orleans Saints and blew a 15-point fourth quarter lead in the process. After the loss, it appears the Redskins fan base is also reeling as well based off of the ticket prices for their next home game on Thanksgiving.
The Redskins will have a short turnaround this week as they will host the New York Giants at Fedex Field on Thursday. While the matchup will be a nationally televised battle between NFC East rivals, there are tickets available on the resale market for as little $7. Yes, that's right -- $7.
On the online ticket exchange site StubHub Monday afternoon, the cheapest ticket available for the game was going for $7.16 for a standing room-only spot in the upper deck of the stadium. While there are plenty of nosebleed seats available, there are some lower level seats also available going between $9 to $15.
Maybe it should be no one's surprise that ticket holders are willing to sell off their seats. While the Redskins have not been officially eliminated from playoff contention, Washington is currently 4-6 on the season and 2 ½ games out of the final playoff spot in the NFC. The Giants are faring no better as they are 2-8 this year, the third-worst record in the NFL.
