Many scoffed when the Cowboys sent out playoff tickets to their season-ticket holders last summer.

The scoffers included yours truly, mainly since the Cowboys were stuck in a perpetual rut of 8-8, and printing NFC Championship Game tickets seemed a waste of dead trees for a team that hadn’t been there since 1995.

But the Cowboys get the last laugh on this one, as they’re having no problem selling out their wild card game, with fewer than 400 tickets remaining for Sunday’s game with the Lions.

“The convenience for the fans and making it easier for the people who approve the orders and distribute the tickets at this time of year is always difficult, and this made it a lot easier,” Cowboys vice president of public relations/communications Rich Dalrymple said, via Todd Archer of ESPNDallas.com.

Dalrymple said 95 percent of their season ticket holders had already paid for playoff tickets, making it much easier to move the balance.

The Cowboys were the only team in the league to print playoff tickets as part of season-ticket packages this year, and it makes them look like prophets.

This time.
