But the Redskins have always stated how they have a mammoth waiting list for season's tickets.

While I don't think they should let anyone ditch their contract, there does need to be some way to make this work for both of them.

And if she is forced to pay this amount she had better get those tickets. If they are resold the 'Skins will be double dipping.

There was also an article today about how some Redskins staffers were redirecting tickets to resellers.
Quote:
For more than 70 years, the Washington Redskins have boasted that they have sold out every game. Seats are so scarce, the team says, that the waiting list for general admission season tickets has 160,000 names on it.

But the reality is that those who want tickets can often find them online through ticket resellers such as StubHub. And in recent years, the Redskins ticket office itself has sold tickets into this secondary market, making it easier for fans of opposing teams to invade FedEx.

Thousands of general admission tickets were sold to brokers, who resold them on the secondary market, often at higher-than-retail prices, according to interviews and internal Redskin documents. These were often tickets to the very seats that Redskins fans have waited years to get.
