F... Selling Tickets to the Visiting Team

Probably not because it was 60-40 Steelers to Redskins. It was quite possibly the lowest point of Fed Ex field history.

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.

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.

I wonder if we'll see a lot of that this week with Giants fans coming to town. [Or already in town. Plenty of them live in the DC area.] We need a service that guarantees tickets will be sold only to home town fans.

Our money is just as green as yours, and that is all that counts.

We do. It's called Winning Football games. We do that and more "fans" will want the tickets.

400-level available on stubhub for 120, not bad for stubhub. Unfortunately, I am getting married in less than 3 months, so liquidity is not at its highest.

Giants fans are going to be paying tons to get into their new stadium, especially the "good seats", so expect more and more fans coming down here to see the games. I think that will be "just the way it is" for some time to come.

Not sure with the economy as it is ticket prices are staying the same and are dropping in some places.

Also did anyone notice there were a ton of Skins fans at the Seattle game. They didnt stand out as much becuase they werent waving annoying towels

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? )
