85 Percent....

...... return sales so far on Husky Football season tickets with five months remaining to get back up to 2013's inaugural season high water mark. This of course does not include student tickets. Woody now has the stadium and a new football coaching staff which actually includes an authentic head coach, the first to walk the north sideline in Husky Stadium in 22 seasons. All our AD needs now is to pull his scheduling head out or find a new asshole. I'll try not to think about it when I hand over four UW vs EWU tickets to my grandsons costing us $571, but having an aggregate street value of not more than 60 bucks. I just hope they don't think grandpa is as big a mark as I do. They'd get far more out of it going to a Rock concert at the Gorge.

Yah, I know. TL & FU

Will they be attending the Slayer/Cannibal Corpse double bill? Should be a swell time.

Would depend on what they can get scalping the UW vs EWU rip-off,..... so I doubt it.

So, what you're saying is... ticket sales have crashed 15% since Sark left.

Being in the ticket brokerage business for a few years now, I can tell you it doesn't have anything to do with Sark. This year, it's the fucking schedule, and it fucking sucks.

Between myself and 4 guys I know, we are giving up nearly 1000 season tickets. (I'm only 50 of them.) The schedule is fucking garbage. Last year we were able to pay for the whole season off 3 games.

And it sure didn't help that the AD wanted all the tickets paid-in-full 6 months ahead of time.

Going forward, if Peterman can get us back to competing for P12 Championships, and the fickle Seattle doogs (12s included) start buying tickets again, it will be a different story.

Until then, FYFMFE.

I suggest reading his name next time. Pretty obvious he was Sarkastic.

Yes, season ticket sales excluding students are down so far 15%, and there's time to make up some of the drop-off before the first kick-off. It has nothing to do with the coaching change and everything to do with money that's saved scheduling OOC cupcakes.

In addition to better OOC scheduling, there's things the AD could do that haven't been done to enhance ticket sales and someday get back to sell-out crowds. However, I don't think more ticket revenue from football is a concern of Woody's.

As long as there's enough money from football to pay Winter Season travel and subsistence costs for softball, baseball, and golf, I believe Woody is as happy as those occasional trips to the sun-belt can make any college AD.

TL;FU

Your best effort.

I was part of the 15%. Tired of throwing money away. If I go to the games, I'll just buy a seat from an online ticket broker like Epic Seats or StubHub. By Friday, the prices are fucking plummeting faster than an Asian whore's mouth on my two inches of thunder.

Getting 60% off the day before the game >>>> paying full price plus the Tyee ass-rape fee in February

The obvious solution to this is - more Crazy Larry

But his point is still true... ticket sales have crashed 15% since Sark left.
