Season Ticket renewals - Leftcoast - 08-08-2023

For season ticket holders and those who attend games.  Will you be renewing your season tickets next year?  You may vote for all that apply.

For me, the answer is "probably, but it depends greatly on a lot of future events". I will want to know the state of sustainability of Stanford football, as will a whole lot of other people. Who will be in the portal? Will we have a mass exodus? IMO TT can only do so much to keep the team together. If the consensus is that everybody wants out, it is going to be real hard to rebuild a team. I will also want some insight into our schedule for 2024 so I know what I am buying. I don't need a complete, signed and delivered "future way ahead", but I will need signs that "somebody" is forging such a thing and some idea what it will look like.

We're on the same page - sort of. 

I was NOT going to re-up if David Shaw stayed.  When he stepped aside, I figured another year. I just don't see me purchasing season tickets again.  Besides the turmoil in college football, travel cost has crossed my threshold of pain.  I will continue to be a fan, but I have reached my limit.

I wish there was an option to renew my parking pass only.  Love the tailgaters and if there was a game or two that looked interesting I could always get a seat. 

That sounds like the last few seasons except I just ate the tickets for half the games.

you can always get a parking pass on StubHub or other resale sites....

Yes, for all options.  I live in RWC, have time to make the games.  I'd need a few bad seasons in a bad conference before I bail.  That said, certain conference options are certainly more intriguing than others.

RE: Season Ticket renewals - Leftcoast - 08-08-2023

Hmmhh ... I can't figure out how to see the total number of respondents.  That's an important factor in getting data out of this!  Am I missing something?  (Presumably French Rage voted for each option which is quite a bit different from 5 individual votes.)

RE: Season Ticket renewals - Mick - 08-08-2023

I'm going to buy season tickets for 2024. I want to be on the 50 yard line for the UNLV, SDSU, SJSU, Hawaii and New Mexico games

SDSU is already scheduled to play half of the Pac-4 in 2024 (WSU and Cal) and SJSU is scheduled to play WSU in 2024

I assume this is about football.  I have season tickets, but for baseball. And I don't know.

RE: Season Ticket renewals - CompSci87 - 08-08-2023

No idea about football. Before the conference collapsed, I was thinking to give our new coach at least one season to show some positive signs.

Really, I only got season tickets in the first place because I realized watching Andrew Luck play was going to be an experience not to be missed. Then I kept them because the team was still entertaining and winning for a few years. Almost gave them up after the fun was over.

I'm definitely keeping my WBB tickets!

RE: Season Ticket renewals - cctop - 08-08-2023

After 36 years of near 100% home attendance, I didn't go to any games last year.

I was planning to cancel my season tickets but after Troy Taylor was hired I wanted to support the program.

I'll likely attend the home games this year as a farewell to the Pac-12, but I can't say I'm excited for what lies beyond.

RE: Season Ticket renewals - tcufrog - 08-09-2023

I've had football season tickets since 1982.  At the point where likely to give up next season, mostly because traveling to games has gotten more difficult after moving to the desert in 2021.  Long drive and very few direct flights to the Bay Area. The current travails do not encourage re-upping.  The meltdown under Shaw the last few years also did not encourage making the trip up for games.  Did not attend a home game last season.  This season will try to go to Arizona and Oregon home games.

By the way, Jack Swarbrick was a member of my law school class at Stanford.  Stand-up guy.

RE: Season Ticket renewals - JimD84 - 08-09-2023

The mention of tailgaters above reminds me of one reason I'm cautious about possible connection with B1G or ACC:

Last fall, I planned to get my tailgate group together for one last 'gate for the BYU game.  Then the game itself was scheduled for 8pm, and folks started dropping out.  Face it, games that start long after darkness has fallen lose some of their appeal.

We will have a lot of such games if we join a conference that is mostly/entirely located in other time zones. 

Of course, the BYU game turned out to be significant because it represented the last hurrah of David Shaw, but that's a different issue.

RE: Season Ticket renewals - Leftcoast - 08-09-2023

Expect night games.  A LOT of night games for all the West Coast schools that join Mid-West/East based conferences.

When you chase conferences to get TV money then you should also expect TV to call the shots.  The ACC already has plenty of Eastern time zone game. What they don't have are games to fill evening and Pacific coast time slots.  If this move makes sense for the the ACC and television it is precisely because adding West Coast schools and games will give them West Coast time slot inventory.  Expect lots of 7pm and 8pm starts and games under the lights.
