In that past, I've heard talk of other team's fans (ND, US.C, even Ca.l) buying Stanford season tix because they are so cheap, just so they have their seats booked for the one game they care about. People have used this dynamic to explain why the number of butts in seats doesn't match the announced tickets sold, etc. Is this really that widespread a ticketing strategy? I guess if I were a hard core fan living in the Bay Area and this was my once a year chance to watch my team in person, I would consider that strategy, but it seems like a high cost to pay ($250 for cheapest season tix).

I've definitely been surprised (and dismayed) by the number of opposing fans who flooded my sunny side section on game days against top opponents. It would be even more disappointing to find that my section-mates where just trying to turn a profit for the games where their support would be most valued.
