Had them since 07, and if it wasn't for the fact I met one of my best friends who happened to be sitting next to me and is as hardcore fan as I was (we always say the odds of that happening were astronomical) who got his tickets the same year we did, along with a two other people sitting below us that we tailgate with, went to the PAC-12 CCG/Rose Bowl with, etc that I would be more inclined at this point to turn them in and just cherry pick the ones I want to go to on the 2ndary market.
Nostalgically, seeing how empty the stadium is most Saturdays is sad and depressing. I have likened it to working at the old GM on a factory assembly line for 40 years before it went bankrupt in 2008 and going thru 2003-2007 seeing it was inevitable what was going to happen.
I am that 40 year guy w/ Husky Football. I have ran out of hope we can consistently be anything more than a jag team in a jag conference. CP gave me hope, but he left 4 years earlier than I thought he would b/c of burnout.
I went to the Michigan game, and would 10000% rather take my money I spend on season tickets, parking, game day, etc and go watch a Red River, Iron Bowl, LSU night game, Penn State White Out, Michigan/Ohio State, etc and experience that atmosphere than the "Greatest Setting" where half the stadium dresses as empty seats 3 out of every 4 games five minutes before kick off.
And here's the kicker to all this. I PRAY PRAY PRAY we have been on the phone with the Big-10 to get a seat at their table when they eventually expand to 16 or 18 teams (which is inevitable). The good news is b/c of media market and University Reputation, I think we do. Bad news is once it happens as it pertains to the football arms race in that conference, I have no belief our AD or Univ. Administration (or even our serious fan base as there's simply not enough of us left) has the conviction or stones to try and compete, so our ceiling at best becomes 2/3 under Wolverines/Ohio State/Penn State/Wisconsin/SC (assuming they join unless they go indy) along with Iowa, Michigan State, Nebraska, etc.
In the end, it feels like we have become the Minnesota of CFB on the west coast...... -
I think I’d be happy to be Minnesota at this point. He hasn’t been what they expected but P.J. Fleck was a hot commodity when they brought him in.

I moved back to the area in 2002 from Austin. Fall of 2002 through 2005 I was gifted tickets here and there. Finally got a ticket and Tyee pass in 2006. the original guys I used to go in with are no longer part of it due to divorces. the tailgate has morphed into about 9 vehicles of us all. The last few years, I have been more amped for the tailgate than the games. I can watch the game in the parking lot. We eat like kings and there is way too much food and beer/booze. We have power, satellite TV, 80K BTU heater, and we can enclose the canopies to make a sweat lodge if we wanted to. I bought an extra E1 pass so we could have way more room and have a bigger party and that is what I look forward to now.
Next year? I think I am going to ditch the tickets and just buy two E1 passes on Craigslist and buy the tickets on Gametime if we decide to go in. I will spend my money on doing kick ass food and leaning back in a comfy chair watching the game on TV in E1. -

Never had season tickets. Want to every single game as a student, then left to learn how to blow up Baze and his people. I'd catch a game here and there during the War on Terror if I was in town, but since Ty and Sark were there that actually seemed worse than the terrorists I was fighting in Iraq. Now I no longer care at all. Watched one game this year. Montana. Laughed the entire 4th quarter. Haven't watched since.

That must have been a lot of M80's. -
I prefer spending my hard earned money traveling to big away games where we inevitably get embarrassed, it’s a ton of fun.

tickets since 1886 - 2014 then kids took them over. Kept my name on it for points - still crappy seats. Kids dropped them 2 years ago.
Plus I would get 2-4 extra for many games to take kids + friends. I could drop the price of a season ticket just buying lunch and drinks forthose leachesmy lovely kids +
I haven't gone to a game since 2015 when Pete lost to Oregon -
This is where I'm at. Dad is a hopeless Doog season ticket holder and I'm supposed to be taking it over soon.RaceBannon said:I kept them as long as I did because it was what my mom and I did together since 1973
By 07 she sometimes forgot there was a game.
Kind of used that. Never actually told her and by 08 she didn't ask
They are great seats and were easy to sell online during the Pete era if we couldn't go, but now the bottom has really fallen out.
If there was a waiting list I'd feel some pressure, but I think I have him half convinced to stop paying all the tyee shit and I'll just pick them up on a per game basis from here on out.
We'll still go to the yearly Bay area game and watch us lose in front of dozens of people. -

Gave them up in 2018, after giving them up originally in “the Gilby era”…PAC after dark is now conducted from the couch, with a bedroom option for shitty first half play…”hope I die before I get old”

I've been lucky enough to have family friends that have always had an extra ticket for me. Their family has priority going back to the 50s. One year they wanted to give back 2 of their 8, and I paid for them. I couldn't let them break up the 8-pack.
I'm the hopeless Doog that would likely keep going to games. I keep telling myself it will get better. The CV restrictions may end of being the death kneel. It's really sad because I've loved this program since my childhood. It's really painful to watch.
Traveling to away games is infinity more fun and will likely be the focus going forward.

Lulz, I was trying to come BACK in '19 and '20.
Gave mine up after '06, Suddenly Senior. Haven't been to a gayme since.
It was always a pain living two time zones away anyway; I wasn't going to travel for that shit-show (or the current iteration).
So, I can't exactly threaten Jen with taking away my $ when I haven't spent a dime on the progrum in 15 years. Actually, no- I bought an overpriced shirt when in town last month; damnit I'm such a simp.

More depressing stories. We should all meet and drink purple kook-aid together. My treat.

So if UW hired Matt Campbell, Kalen DeBoer, or Jamey Chadwell would you get tickets again?
If UW managed to hire Luke Fickell, I will sell my baseball card collection and donate the proceeds to help with the budget!
