[quote=HoosForCooley;503899]Your missing the point with my statement. You have to protect the integrity of your venue. If only people on the season ticket waiting list have a shot at the game then opposing team fans can not get them as easy. Stubhub allows any fan to get the tickets and the majority of the time I bet they do go to the visiting team. Was anyone on this board at the Pitt game? Probably not because it was 60-40 Steelers to Redskins. It was quite possibly the lowest point of Fed Ex field history.[/quote]
So you want the Redskins to buy back season tickets and sell them to the people on the waiting list. My point was that I had season tickets and had trouble selling them at my cost. If all the people on the waiting list wanted tickets they could just as easy go to stubhub and buy them. Jut go and look for yourself [url=http://www.stubhub.com/washington-redskins-tickets/redskins-vs-giants-11-30-2008-553782/]Washington Redskins vs New York Giants [11/30/2008] at StubHub![/url] there are 14 pages of tickets for sale Redskins/Giants and if the demand like you said from people on the waiting list then they are not showing it by buying tickets. Don't say they are too expensive because they have them from $65.00 abd up.

IT IS AGAINST the LAW! You can not discriminate when selling an item to the public,you must provide a way for everyone who may be a customer to be given the same oppertunity.Being a fan of that team has no bearing on the situation at all.

Actually it is and its not. I don't think they should, but a few world series back (and my memory is foggy) one of the teams put a zip code restriction on the tickets. Theoretically it kept the visiting team from making to much of a statement. (i think it was the Rockies/Red Sox). The bottom line is still
If the Skins play winning tough football, the visiting team fans will stay quiet.

Actually it is,yes you can put restrictions on sales....zip ,amount of tickets......but if I'm a Giant fan in that zip ...you must sell to me.

Re: F... Selling Tickets to the Visiting Team
 

Fair enough. (Can I put street address restrictions? so if I don't see a Skins banner at a house it goes on the no- sell list? ;) )

Well you're wrong. A lot of people on this board were at the game and yes it was probaly 25% Steelers. Realistically. It was way more than any game I have ever seen for sure. To me it comes down to this. Unless someone was at the game they should be quiet. If they didn't go they can't complain about those who did and who they cheered for. if we want only Skins fans at the games then all the whinny Skins fans who complain about this need to go buy some stinkin' tickets. Plain and simple. The problem is not the ticket holders selling the tickets. The problem is the fans who don't buy them.

[quote=BleedBurgundy;497517]It's such a corporate stadium. Seems like the 1 and 2 hundred levels just didn't give a damn and sold their tickets to whomever. Sucks for our team, because say what you want, that has to be demoralizing. As bad as Eagles fans are, and they are the scum of the earth, no way in hell that happens in Philly, as even the MNF announcers noted.[/quote]

amen to that brother. It reallly sucks that so many fans sold their tickets to opposing fans. I am sure that there were people who sold the tickets because they geniunely couldn't go, but it sucks when people are just so caught up in making money off the redskins. I wish that Mr. Snyder would go back and limit the amount of people that the stadium could hold. It might drive up demand once again as opposed to letting anyone in. I can say that I have seen on other redskins messageboards that they had been selling tickets at face value. I can tell you at RFK for a big game that would NEVER HAPPEN!

Re: F... Selling Tickets to the Visiting Team
 

I have a pair of tix I can't use tomorrow (11/30) that I'll sell at face value to Warpath/Skins fans only. Lower level, near goal line. Parking pass thrown in for free. You pick up in Silver Spring area.

PM me and I'll get back to you this evening.

Yea an owner of a team is going to rope off 30,000 seats to drive up demand. I hope you do not own your own business.

Giantone it sounds like at the right price he could throw the whole don't sell to another teams fan crap right out the window.

Re: F... Selling Tickets to the Visiting Team
 

My bad fortune=your good fortune. My flight plans fell through for this sunday's game vs Eagles and I've got two tickets (SEct, 412) that I can't use with no time to sell them in time to get them to the buyer in time for the game. I am willing to give these to anyone (Skins fans only) on this site with only a couple of conditions:

1. You have to actually use the tickets and not resell them because you are lucky enough to live local and have access.

2. Reimbursement for FedEx shipping charges I will incur sending the tickets to you. Call me a born sucker for this, but will rely on honor system with one.

3. At the game scream like you've never screamed before. I want to hear you from here!

Anyone interested, PM me ASAP so I can get them out first thing tomorrow so they will get there in time.
