So you really think because someone is old and on a fixed income they should pay less than what others would pay for their seats? Fuck, what's next? Hey, I just had a couple of kids, cut me a break. He my kids are in college, but I'm a huge fan, cut me a break. Pay or GTFO.
Also, "can't afford it", or choose to spend the extra $1500 on other stuff this year and come up with a woes me I'm old and fixed income line of bullshit. -

Why do you love the smell of burning money?MikeDamone said:"Grandfather clause". LOL. Well done.
I actually hate the "I'm old so I shouldn't have to pay what everyone else does " bullshit. Fuckers do that with their taxes too.
It's not just old people, many people can't afford to go to sporting events. Just like a lot of people can't afford to go to Europe, or a 5000 sf house, or a new car. Tuff titties. Revenue is what's needed. If someone will pay $3000 for what was $1500 seats, then good for UW. btw, those seats sound pretty close to my new ones.

I call bullshit. Everyone knows half brains watch the games from their moms' basements.MikeDamone said:btw, those seats sound pretty close to my new ones.

I think the issue isn't so much about old people being poor but about not rewarding or helping loyal customers - 46 years is a long fucking time.MikeDamone said:"Grandfather clause". LOL. Well done.

I agree with ****** that old fucks shouldn't get a discount but something should be done to at least acknowledge their time as paying customers.

this. 100% -
Disagree. If the seats can be sold at a higher price, they should be. If a fan is loyal, then the increase won't be a problem. Maybe give them a free chowder bowl or something. Again, I call BS on ditching 46 years of tickets for an extra $1500. Sounds like they were looking for an excuse.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:

They couldn't have found anywhere else in a 70,000 seat stadium to go that would have worked?MikeDamone said:

A location on the 50 yardline ten rows up were not Tyee seats in the old stadium and are now not only Tyee, but are Heritage theater seats requiring a donation of $750 each....... so yah, the cost including season tickets went from (approx) $1500 to $3000 for two. Welcome to the new renovated Husky Stadium.
I believe the lower rows in the six Heritage sections may be difficult to fill at the $750 donation rate and should have been designated something lower, say somewhere between $350 to $450 per seat. However, the days when prime seats in the lower horseshoe below the drip-line (row T ? or lower) and between the 30 yardlines can be had without some level of Tyee membership are over.
Tyee sections have been expanded significantly on both sides of the stadium while the nosebleed zones in both upper decks no longer require Tyee donations as they never should have before. And lots of high priced (donation level) luxary stuff now available has sold like hotcakes. We now have an expensive stadium to pay for and maintain with private financing. Never again can Husky Stadium be allowed to be neglected and become rundown as it was before. And of course, there's softball and volleyball to pay for.
I'm retired with grandsons who are now starting college and most earnestly want me and their parents to keep Husky Football going until they can assist with and eventually take over the cost. As for Husky Football, I've become conflicted about the value received over the past 10 years for my buck. I think it's possible that without family interest, I might have dropped my support long ago. My oldest grandsons did attend games at Husky Stadium back when we had a good competitive program, but they remember little about it and have never been to a Rose Bowl. Imagine how avid they might become if we ever go to Pasedena again. -
First off, the UW Ticket Office is retarded, unprofessional, and rude. They might have changed over the past few years, but I doubt it.
Second off, this is the trend around the cuntry, college and pro. I don't like it, but from a business perspective, it's hard to argue with their new procedures. I will say that they should have made a greater effort to accomodate long time (say 5 or 10 years plus) season ticket holders.
It's kind of sad, and it's too bad that the crowd will probably be filled with one percenters and corporate hacks who don't like to make noise, but that's the reality.
