    especially near midfield

    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.

    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).
    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.
    Last year was in a different stadium. Not a great comparison.

    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.

    56k season tickets in 1989 after no bowl.

    Woodward would eat a fetus on national TV (in 3D) to sell 56k season tickets now.

    is that better than clubbing a seal to make a better deal?

    Why do you hate money so much? What did it ever do to you?

    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.

    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, bad comparison. I should have used one from the 1990's, that's fucking relevant. That reminds me...........my pet rock needs to go for a walk.
