Going to Dallas? Before you leave, you'll want to shop for the latest Sooner-Longhorn attire and curios. But none of that will get you into the stadium - without a ticket. They're hard to come by - this year finding a ticket to the game might be harder than it's ever been. Hereâ€™s a story about one Sooner fan who believes time is on her side.

Jeanne Dobson, OU Fan: "If there's any game i want to go to, it's OU-Texas."

Jeanne Dobson has only missed only one OU-Texas game in the last thirty-six years.

Jeanne Dobson, OU Fan: "We don't have tickets yet but we will go."

She took out a classified ad seeking tickets at a reasonable price.

A glance at EBAY shows what others are demanding, and many are willing to pay. Too steep for Jeanne Dobson. She'll bide her time and wait for the price to drop.

Jeanne Dobson, OU Fan:"I know that circumstances take place where people aren't able to attend. I look for those circumstance to happen."

She needs five tickets, including one for son Kendall, but sheâ€™s done this before â€“ and always with success.

She says by the end of the week someone not going to the game will call and sell her the tickets. If all else fails, she and her family will go to Dallas and look for tickets outside at the game.
