Ticket sales must be way down
- Thread starter HuskyJW
- Start date
I know of 6 people who didn't renew. Reasons provided were start times, and unable to get a beer/drink.
They should have held on. The 9 AM kickoffs are going to be special.
That's everyone on this bored.

I've made this same argument. The fact they bring in flasks and run out by halftime may say more about who I associate with than anything. I'd give them shit about waiting all year for football, then leaving at halftime to catch the end of the game at a bar or at home. Now that I think about it, I know four more, so 10 total. 8 of the 10 are hella old and live at least an hour away from the stadium. Honestly if tv timeouts weren't a thing, or much shorter, the late night stuff would be more tolerable. But when you're trying to stay warm 100 feet in the air, outside, in a moist, wet, cold climate, and the dude in the red vest trots out on the field four what feels like 10 minutes, after a post touchdown time out, then kickoff, then timeout. For old people who pay a lot, that shit gets old. Nevermind their retired ass doesn't have anything to get up for the next day.

This might be the last year I get season tickets for that very reason. I won’t belabor the point as it’s been discussed ad nauseam, but not knowing start times in advance *and* having late starts pisses me off.
This is not to say I won’t show up for marquee matchups, but the AD/conference need to fix this.
I know Jen...WDWHA.
I don't buy season tickets because it's ridiculous to pay face value for the three shit OOC games, and for games like OSU, AZ, Colorado, etc. Stubhub is my fren' for the 3-4 games worth going to each season.
Mo better seats for @MikeDamone.
The most doogish aspect of my life is season tickets. It’s my way as a pour to give back to UDub and I don’t care how much they bend us over. Still cheaper and better than being s stupid 12.
If it’s too expensive. Fine I get it
Family? Sure
Too much time out of the day? I get that also
But to say you aren’t attending a college football game because you can’t buy $10 beers is ridiculous and a lie.
I’ve been drinking in the stands for 20 years

I bought season tickets. The cheapest option. Im going to mooch off alumni tailgates and get fucked up in the morning with my friends.
Basically I’m just paying to party and scream at Bush for not running the ball enough because our WRs are complete JAGS.

My problem is an 8 year old and a 7 year old who just have to play soccer on football Saturdays.

Tell them sometimes you do things for yourself to become a better person and it shouldn't matter if you're there or not.
I promised them we're going to a game this year. Their season doesn't start until the second week for the Huskies, so we're definitely going to Eastern. Cal is a 12:00 Shanghai time game, so I'll probably be at that. My dad is a huge USC homer, so we go every time they're in town, and we've already planned to fly him in, so that's a go. I'm sure both Oregon and Utah are going to kickoff sometime between the beginning of Saturday Night Live and last call at the bar, so I should be able to make those as well (I'm the rare fan who LOVES the late kickoffs, as it all but guarantees that I can go).
So I'll be at a few games. I thought about season tickets for the first time this year, but there's always just too much uncertainty with my schedule to do it. And who wants to pay full price for bullshit non-con anyway?

Not so sure about Oregon being a late game. It’s homecoming, so it’s ripe for a prime 1pm on Fox.
