Huh?
-
I will be watching on the plasma. Refusing to renew after 2008 was one of my smarter decisions.
I miss tailgating, but I don't hate money. -
Looks like you have all the screen shots you need.
-
How exactly does that show that season ticket sales are "Lagging"?
-
Just a guess, but finding two independent seating arrangements with eight seats in a row or two rows of four each, one basically in front of the other, might just mean that there are ample seats available.
-
especially near midfield
-
I believe season ticket sales are above 47k, which would be the highest in several years.
But probably not the bump they were looking for with a new stadium. -

Maybe that's why Sark suddenly seems under terrific duress... Woodward has perhaps told him he NEEDS to win in order to increase sales.
-
The seating options are even better if you skip the games against the Mountain Time Zone teams:
-
Mora would have it sold out.
-
Someone needs to explain to Pool Boy that limiting supply is one way to create a hot ticket, but increasing demand by getting a Coach who isn't half a fag (75K) and actually wins 10 a year is another, and the latter is the preferred option.DerekJohnson said:Mora would have it sold out.

Section 330 Row 18 are on the 35 yard line. They are also Tyee 450 tickets. So $950 per ticket for tickets in the North Upper Deck on the 35. Not sure they would sell those in the good years for that price.DerekJohnson said:especially near midfield
Section 327 Row 49 and 50. That is the 15 yard line and only about 10 rows from the top.
You could still get lower bowl tickets this time last year. So I wouldn't say that ticket sales are lagging.
-
You can still get lower bowl tickets now if you don't want to waste your time with Boise, ISU, and CU (NT).IMALOSER_ said:

I think he gets that. Sark appears to be under duress and I think this is the chief reason. Problem is Pool Boy. Can he hire a coach "who isn't half a fag ($75k) and actually wins 10 a year"? We'll see.Swaye said:

lower bowl never sold out because first 3 rows felt like you were on you were on your knees (which is why all the sororities preferred those rows). I'm curious if the front row is really worth a damn in the new stadium.
Old stadium upper deck >> west endzone and bottom 3 rows.
New stadium, not the case. Allegedly.
Still no announced capacity correct? its 100% a political move at this point. -
If you want to pay $1250 a seat(Tyee750). Last year you could still get tickets with no Tyee Donation in the Lower Bowl. I added two extra tickets in lower bowl last year, 3 weeks before the season started.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

Agree with this. From the Seattle Times comments, I got the feeling that another 7-6 season would get Sark fired. I also agree that Woodward is a little bitch (I can't get over how a guy who has watched plenty of football would hold the ball the way he does), and will probably fuck up the next hire. Hopefully he gets lucky.Southerndawg said:

Good christ....really? You do realize that UW had a waiting list at one time for Tyee seats that were worse than these. I know because I spent two years on the waiting list and was then given the privilege to sit in the second row from the top of the North side. The price today is comparable with what I paid 20 years ago.
Stop being a fucking apologist and just look at the facts for a change. Next thing you will tell us is the reason there was a waiting list 20 years ago is we didn't have major league soccer.

Woodward only fires Sark in order to save himself. Otherwise Sark isn't going anywhere if he stays above 6 wins.

Last year was in a different stadium. Not a great comparison.IMALOSER_ said:

56k season tickets in 1989 after no bowl.
Woodward would eat a fetus on national TV (in 3D) to sell 56k season tickets now. -

Wait a minute. When did we switch the conversation to ticket sales are down from 20 years ago? I thought we were discussing ticket sales as lagging in the current environment.IMALOSER_ said:

So I guess Mariner ticket sales are soaring.......... I mean if we are going to compare them to sales 20 years ago.
Ticket sales are up this year. No matter how you slice it. Mostly because of New Stadium and Apple Cup.
There actually wasn't a waiting list 20 years ago. It disappeared with James. Has nothing to do with soccer. It has to do with winning football games. Seahawks waiting list disappeared a few years ago......guess what.....it's back.
You said you weren't sure they could sell the tyee seats DJ (I call him DJ) found even in good years. I called bullshit because in the past they have done just that. Win and those seats are sold. Period. Case Closed. End Of Discussion. -

They were not charging $1000 a ticket for "crappy" Tyee Seats. Not even if you adjust for inflation.
Same seats for the Seahawks are $840 for 8 regular season games and 2 scrimmages.
UW - $142/game
Sehawks - $84/game or $105/game if you don't count preseason.
If a football fan who is not a UW alum has a choice of which one to buy, even if they both suck or both are good. Not a tough decision. -

If they both suck you can watch the Huskie game at a respectable bar, then watch a better NFL product with the Sunday ticket. Again, there is no reason to abuse your money like that. I'll be happy to take it from you, as I know better ways it can be spent. There are two great things already coming to mind.......... -

Yeah, it's nice to have extra money to just shit away. On a side note.....am I supposed to give you a tip when you pump my gas? -
