season tickets - mutoo1 - 05-04-2020

today is football season ticket renewal deadline...what are most season ticket holders going to do--renew or wait & see?

RE: season tickets - BobK - 05-04-2020

I renewed early March. Nothing to lose money back if no fans or no season

Same here.

I renewed today. I was hoping to get a bit more sense on what Stanford was thinking, but I guess it doesn't really matter and they did say that they'd refund if the season is canceled (which I imagine includes no in-person attendance allowed). Right now I don't see how it would be possible to hold an in-person season, so doing this is mostly my way of saving my seats (and I assume eating the $10 "application fee").

That ten bucks will get you two cups of coffee and a morning bun at the Bovine bakery.

For those looking to upgrade their seat location this would have to be a great year.

Team coming back from a sub-500 season.
An even year football schedule
And a global pandemic particularly lethal for those over 60.

I suspect most Stanford types that were inclined to renew decided to do it this season. If there was ever a time to support the AD and buy tickets this would be the year.

That noted even if fans are allowed to attend most games, I probably will not attend the home games. I probably would attend the Big Game as long as that was permitted by health officials.

My big fear? UCB might only be allowed to have ~10,000 people in the stands for Big Game and that would mean very few Stanford fans would be allowed to attend. I don't think I would make cut if Stanford got only a few hundred tickets to allocate.

Wow, I hadn't thought about being shut out of the Big Game by an attendance limit. I sure hope that doesn't happen!

Same here. Hoping that the silver lining of last year's bad season will be my ability to relocate. We moved two years ago and ended up in an area where a lot of people resold tickets that were bought by visiting fans. Not enjoyable when you're losing at home.

If there are games I will move to the loneliest part of the stadium. I don’t like to talk to people during a game anyway.

I've got seats at the 40 yard line, but for about a decade I sat in the end zone because my kids couldn't see over the person in front of them, especially when people stood up to cheer.

I've actually grown to like the end zone better than the sideline. It's easier to see the play developing, and except for Big Game there's nobody within three rows of us.

And if you're in 101 you're right next to the tunnel!

I'm in the front row of the upper deck, which is great because there's no one in front of me AND much more leg room!

Don’t you sit next to Bobbbbbbbbbbbb. He talks constantly, mostly about volleyball.

LOL Bob's about a dozen rows above me. I usually come up to say hi at halftime.

I always enjoy the visits QWERTY.
On one side of me is a 4 time WVB All American and her hubby who played MVB both at Stanford

On the other side sadly will no longer be the Wolfeman who passed away recently. The Wolfeman ran track and was in the Stanford band. Going to miss the great Wolfeman. During our recent sad season he developed a rallying cry for all time
“We lead the time of possession “

And he was right! We averaged over 33 minutes of TOP in home games, good for #12 in the country!
