    The poor sales reps are selling the product that season ticket holders with better seats are currently taking a giant loss on in the open market… i bet they are looking forward to each and every business day with great enthusiasm. This is the death march experience for salesmanship.

    I’m guessing the athletic department is really holding their breath and that this has worked its way up the food chain to the chief financial officer of the UW and that he / she is reporting the debacle to the board of directors at the present time.

    Does "The House That Sark Built" get built, if the UW Athletic Dept could have foreseen the 2022 College Football Landscape?
    An army of stadium staff walking around telling you to put your mask back on, checking you out like they're the police if you've had too many beers. Have to wait almost an entire fucking quarter to get food/beer after halftime. The vaccine mandate stuff was made a lot worse by waiting in a giant fucking line to go get a shitty wrist band. Pubs and Breweries close down at a fucking 10-11 last season so after the Cal OT game you're looking around for a place to get food and a night cap. It's like they're trying to get fans to just say fuck it and watch from home.

    So maybe the AD should take a look around at what some of the other schools are doing.

    Other than the retarded line to get your vaxx card validated, the Beavlet experience is 10x better with better food and better beer. Definitely a bonus that in one of the bars I was at I got to watch a Duck fan cheer and talk shit during the Stanford game only to watch that last drive + OT in complete silence and horror.
    It just means less in Seattle.

    a 7:30pm kickoff for Kent State??????????????????

    There will be 15k actual people in the stands for that one. After halftime, 5k.

    It might be a bit more than that. UW might have a backup plan.

    Really good point. If you wanted to wait until week b4 any game this year minus Sparty (which will be a wash vs. season ticket price on ticket) you will be able to get as many seats as you want that are 2x as good for 1/3rd of what you paid as a season ticket holder.

    On secondary market 1st two games of season are cheaper than a extra value meal at Mcdonalds. Week of, will be cost of a big mac. Colorado in November are allready at $25. Imagine in a couple months what those beauties will be flying off the shelves at.

    It used to mean less. Now it means little or nothing.

    It’s unreal to me that people jumped through proof of vaccine shit to go to games.

    Yep.

    It was a good use of the Arkansas St game to wait in that line.

    Then in the Apple Cup I took a coworker who is a UT Austin grad who obviously didn't have a wristband and the basic line to just show your vaxx card was no time at all.

    His general summary of the experience, "Northwest college football is gay and you're all fags. Let's head to the bars at halftime."

    He’s right. And my response to “we need to see your papers” is go fuck yourself.
