The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

I will be attempting to acquire tix on craigslist for face. I have yet to fail. Times change, though. I just saw this ad on craigslist:


To everyone listing tickets for hundreds of dollars for the Skins Cowboys game,

Remember when you didn't go to any of the cold weather Redskins games the past 8 years? Remember when you sold your tickets to fans of the other team and we got embarrassed in our own stadium time and time again? And now that we are good and all the fans come out of the woodwork, you try to charge 4 times face value for the tickets? If you have tickets for this game, you should be going to it. If you can't go to it, sell the tickets to friends who are Redskins fans who want to go, and don't gouge them. $300+ for upper level tickets is a joke. "$500 FIRM" for lowers is a joke. This fan base has too much money and not enough heart.

Go F yourself.

A real Skins fan.


I will bring this thread to the top as things evolve but until then -if you have tix and can't go, a PM would be very cool.

Needing a miracle, Deadman.

If I were going to be in DC, I'd give you that miracle (FOC of course).

May have just hit paydirt.

Having to deal with / listen to / witness bandwagon "fans," though incredibly annoying, is a nice change of pace.

I understand that there are a lot of fans in DC that have tickets and most likely will not make the effort to go ....
HOPEFULLY, next Sunday, they will ONLY sell their tickets to Redskins fans

maybe we'll convert some stupid puke fans this week - how can you root for those homos and live in the DC area?

AGREE!!!!!!!!

Being that there is a large Cowboys fanbase in DC, I am afraid they will show up and make this a 50-50 event (much like the PITT game a couple years ago or even the NYG game this year --- at least on TV you could 100% hear ther fans making serious noise).

This needs to be a home game in every sense of the word. Hopefully we'll win @ PHI this week and the Cowboys will lose to NOLA ---- so week 17 won't matter either way.

It will still matter. Actually Cowboys loss this week might make wk 17 do-or-die for them and make the game even more important. (I.e., they might lose all hope of a wild card spot.)

Provided the Giants lose one of these last two weeks, our Dallas game will likely decide who wins the East.

Nope. Dude must have found out he wasn't charging enough when the dealers started emailing bigger offers.

Back to the drawing board.

An ad from this morning:

Charging $400-$1000 for $100 is just being an ass. I know it's Xmas time and everyone could use a little extra money but get real people. I will be going through and Flagging all Ad's selling tickets for ridiculous prices. Good luck !!

I'll say one thing. If the stubhub/ebay market is any indication, that game vs. the Cowboys is going to be packed.

Another consideration when selling tickets. In the past when the Redskins were not winning, there were times I could not give tickets away and a couple of my friends turned in their season tickets for this reason. Now, with them winning again the supply and demand drives the price up. What's wrong with this, free enterprise at work.

Nothing wrong at all. Bummer, though. I'm also seeing a lot of reposting. Sellers are not getting what they're asking for. The market at work.

May have just found 2 lowers at face.

I spent multiple hundreds of dollars to buy standing room tickets from the Redskins so I could bring my kids to the game. Living in Philly I have to work extra hard to make them Redskins fans because they are growing up in Eagles country. The tickets I bought were inflated by the Redskins for this game - they usually give those tickets away. No Christmas love anywhere - plus I just had to pay twice the price plus shipping for a parking pass from some twerp on the internet as well.

All that said - me and the kids will be at the game in Philly this weekend and the Pukes game next week. HTTR.

Right? And it's an "extra" ticket which means you'll get to sit next to him while he spends you $250 on a hot dog and a beer!

not a scalper.
face value

Just replied to this:

Two tickets in Section 117 Row 18 and Green Lot parking pass. Face value is $275 for everything.

I have season tickets so I can go to the home games. After several seasons of sucking, no way would I miss a cowturd game to decide the nfce.

Sure there will be a few cowturd fans there.....but there will be far more skin fans......same as games vs the beagles, gnats and buzzards this year. All it takes is for our offense to light up the scoreboard and those opposition fans shut up pretty quickly.

Great read. I was hoping to give blood for tickets, literally (at the FedEx blood drive yesterday), when I saw those prices. Would love to go, but I gotta be wise with the funds.
