The ticket sellers won't know until they turn on their TV sets...
Simple solution: All the folks here who are so offended about having all those Steelers' fans in FedEx need to go to places like Stub Hub and buy up all the tix to future Redskins games. That will put them in "friendly hands".
For the record, I had the opportunity to score two "premium" seats for last night's game but had to turn down the chance because I had commitments early this morning and I probably would not have been home before 2:00AM had I gone to the game. I have no idea who got to use those seats or what their "rooting affiliation" may have been.

Thanks SC. My friend and I have season tix. I have had to sell them two years in row b/c I couldn't afford them. I have offerred them first here and not gotten any serious interest in them. This year I was able to sell one set to a Skins fan but I had to stub hub the other set and lost money. BTW - they are lower bowl seats which I was selling at cost.
Also, in the past, I have offered tix for single games (either mine or my bud's) through this site and have not once had anyone offer to buy them. And so we're clear, I have never asked for more than face value. I just am trying to avoid losing money.
Sorry guys, but these tix are expensive, I try to find Skins fans but sometimes I can't. When I can't, it's stubhub to the rescue. I simply cannot take a the monetary hit.
I expect that everyone who is bitching about opposing fans in the stadium will now make a run on stubhub, ebay and other ticket outlets to ensure that all outstanding tix are the hands of loyal fans. I, however, can neither afford the time or money this time around. Here's the link:
Washington Redskins vs Dallas Cowboys [11/16/2008] at StubHub!
I look forward to seeing you on the TV rooting hard for the Skins at the at the Dallas game Dynamite, Ruhskins, BleedBurgundy, mooby ...
