The probability of getting a ticket for a game against the Snakes is the number of games against the Snakes divided by the total number of home games:

P(Snakes game) = 7/55

The probability of getting two tickets for games against the Snakes (both tickets are for games against the Snakes) is the product of the probabilities:

P(both are Snakes games) = (7/55) * (7/55) = 49/3025

Therefore, the probability that both tickets are for games against the Snakes is 49/3025.
