    I travel to away games more frequently than home games and have only bought away tickets through the UW twice.

    Much better luck (location and price wise) buying from the other school directly or buying scalped tickets.

    Plus, its a bunch more fun to be among opposing fans - even during the dark years.

    Wow, I must be kind of a high roller. I'm 7 rows in front of Whiskeydawg, and 8 rows in front of Tequilla.

    yeah, I'm kind of a big deal apparently.

    Depends on what section you are in.

    What I've learned about buying away game tickets from the UW is that they start with the best seats, go upwards and then over a section. Personally, I'd trade seats at the 30 for seats at the end zone for if it was lower and closer to the action.

    Easy to arrange that for home games ... for road games you just take what you can get, find a bar before the game, throw a few back, and enjoy sitting in a section of purple.
    Doooooog.

    It's interesting you say that. I've had bad experiences with both.

    One time I had to sit away from a couple of friends in AZ Stadium. It was a total blowout so I moved to the visitor section to talk to them in the 4th after it was long over. The stadium was almost half full at that point anyway. I sat down in some empty seat. A few minutes later some guy behind makes some real passive aggressive sarkastic comment to the effect that I was sitting in the seat his elderly mother used as her footrest (so what the fuck did they do when other people sat there earlier?). I moved a little but made a really sarcastic remark to him. He seemed like what TucsonHusky or Sucktion14a would be like in real life.

    The visitor section seems like it's some mix of middle aged Doogs and blue hairs. I'm probably not going this time around after three straight Tucson plungerings unless there's a really good deal out there.

    The day it jammed up the site and wouldn't let people log on, was its last day.
    Whoosh!

    The pac 12 never sells out games. Why buy in advance at inflated prices. Hth.

    I bought the cheapest tickets I could find online (StubHub) for the Colorado game and just moved to the UW section once I got inside.

    CU's little stadium was half full, so you could have sat anywhere.

    UW ticket office charges 2-3x as much as street value for away games.

    How else can they pay Crazy Larry's salary?
