You have a lot of different factors involved in this. This is a legenday rivalry, it's for the NFC East, and the Redskins have the chance to do something they haven't don in a LONG TIME (win the division). That's going to inflate the prices. If they make the playoffs, no way tickets will go for as low as $200 because it would be the first home playoff game since 1999-2000.
You know, this makes a lot of sense. I was a capitals season ticket holder for 3 years and I would never sell my playoff tickets. It's a little different because there are several games so you can still see one and sell others but overall when you are a season ticket holder you pay a lot of money for the opportunity to see huge games like this without having to pay insane prices for them. The small amount of money you'd get relative to your overall season price usually doesnt make it worth it. So besides those who sell most of their tickets every year regardless, you're right. its probably mostly people reselling. People who have season tickets and love the redskins are most likely going to the game themselves.Quote:

They did it regularly sorta like how the caps eventually were regularly in the playoffs so people aren't going to pay an insane price for something they see as having many opportunities to go to.
We'll Im here in Los Angeles, but I'll be there in spirit!! I hope FedEx is freaking LOUD!!!
I would give anything to be able to be at this game!! Fedex has never seen a game this big. I hope the stadium holds up!!! Everyone who is able to be there make sure you represent and make sure you are not able to talk at all the next day!! We need this one bad folks!!
Clearly, you have never stood in front of me. No need to stand when we are on offense.Quote:

Big snowstorm might actually help lower prices as many may choose not to go or brave the elements. I'll be watching up through Saturday to ssee what happens.
Storm is scheduled for Saturday. Sunday is supposed to sunny and 40 dropping to low 30s to high 20s. Trust me, keeping a close eye on the weather. Gotta know whether to bring my polar suit or not!Quote:

Exactly!! This cannot be overstated. Why does it seem like we always get so loud when the offense is on the field & not loud enough when the defense is out there?!!Quote:

EDIT: I know somebody will blame this on the opposing fans but honestly, it was more so our own fans than theirs.
I fully expect a 1980's style "We Want Dallas" chant to be rolling at least a half hour before the game! When they are announcing the Cowboys payers we need to be rocking the chant so loud that they can't hear their own names!
I am traveling from LA to DC for my 3rd game of the season and am thinking of sticking around for a playoff game if the Skins crush it the way I believe we can!
"WE WANT DALLAS, WE WANT DALLAS, WE WANT DALLAS, WE WANT DALLAS!!!!!!!"
What needs to happen is the Redskins need to have a press release to the fans/season ticket holders addressing silence on offense. I think Denver did that when Peyton Manning came into town.Quote:

You would think the huge "Quiet Offense at work" images on the jumbotrons would be a hint on what to do. It may come down to your idea though....Quote:

Too many simply do not understand football etiquette. This is partly, maybe entirely, because so many STHs sell their tickets to newbies, wannabes, and stupid drunks who are attending the game for themselves rather than as die hard fans. Hopefully, as the team improves, more STHs will keep their tickets and attend games. I think regular attending STHs will be football smarter than the tens of thousands of casual fans the Redskins attract now.Quote:
