I guess we know where the $4 million is coming from.

I'm starting to get a sinking feeling here. Is this $4 million dependent on ticket sales (as opposed to a normal non-con away game where you get paid $XX for coming)? Answer: likely yes. Is it dependent upon sales of "our" half of the stadium? Answer: ????

Brand Z has an article on tickets - and it sort of implies that the $94 tickets are not many, if any.

Don't remember him. Played a total of 35 against us in 3 games in 2023. Definitely limited to inside.

Wonder how many tickets we'll sell to our home game vs. Wyoming after Thanksgiving?

I hadn't really looked at the dates on our schedule until you pointed this out. What a crapfest.

At least we have 3 home games in September that look winnable and should have good weather. Hawaii in mid-October should be a win, could be grim weather-wise. Then 3 weeks before Utah State on Veterans' Day weekend. Could be getting cold (Aggies won't notice), but unless we're playing well by then, people are going to do something else with their weekend. Wyoming on Nov. 30, 2 days after Thanksgiving? Weather doesn't even matter - that game won't break 18K in official attendance. They'll have to come up with some incentive and a promotion to get it past 10K in actual attendance, unless by some miracle us and Wyoming are both top 15 and Gameday shows up again.

Bend over.

Just tap on bowdown253 then tap on ignore. That'll put him in the dustbin.

They would definitely win more games in the WCC - ah well, guess we'll settle for the B1G.

Let me take just a moment to point out that as of this instant the uw has not won a single league game/match/meet against the Big 10/12/14/16/18 and any sport, men or women. And although it wasn't an actual league contest, the uw did gag away their big opportunity this calendar year. WHOOPS!!!

Please explain again why you continue to hang around here being an asshole. While you are at it, perhaps you could also explain how your behavior is in ANY way better than someone hoping this guy gets an ankle sprain. Because hoping for that ankle sprain will have exactly ZERO effect on anything.

Their big opportunity - They still won the last Pac championship and the Sugar Bowl. Would have been nice to beat Michigan, but they came up short. It is funny that you try to take a shot at us losing a game the cougs have 0% chance of ever getting close to. As a Mariners fan that would be like taking a shot at someone losing the World Series when we've never even made it. Then again, at least the M's actually have a reasonable chance at making it someday.

I wouldn't exactly say "hang" around here - more like stop by once in a while to see what crazy conspiracy theories are currently being floated by 75%/80%/85% of your posters.

Less. But still doesn’t mean they overpriced the F out of tix.

Reality is there’s probably enough Seattle corporate money floating around that they’ll buy up chunks of tix and will be close to a sellout. There will still be tix on the cheap and plenty of empty seats would be my guess 🤷.

Look, D1 college football is now junior professional football. We all know that. They're going to squeeze as much blood out of the fans as they can, and they'll sleep like babies at night. The Apple Cup will officially sell out. Empty seats? Probably, but they don't care. Those who attend will pay $100 for parking, $20/beer, $18 for a burger.

I'm a big ice hockey fan, and they're doing it in Canada too. $22 for a beer. $300/ticket, and there are 41 damn home games. Taylor Swift charges $1,500/ticket for 2 hours of terrible music. People pay it.

I think you can have a hashtag set to auto for every tweet. Still a pretty big miss. At least he wore the shitty purple tie to his introduction and got that part right.

His only purpose here is to keep on digging in and twisting with the knife knowing that both WSU and OSU got a crap sandwich they did not deserve. I would expect that out of a grade school kid and not an adult.

I bet it would be more if it was at least a former P12 opponent.

Like I've said in the past, good luck to the ticket office reps on sales.

Freshman highlights.

Go play a fun opponent away and drop this game. Can't wait to hear all the complaints on how the game isn't selling.

2-night required hotel stay in Pullman $600+
Reserved game tickets at Martin $75+
Gas for the driving (160-600 mile roundtrip) $50-$100

Breaks out less for Western WA alumni. They also have Friday and Sunday to themselves without have to manage the commute.

The game is early enough in the season to keep the Huskies engaged....same with Cougs

This is insane. How does the rest of the team feel? And who the F is willing to pony up that kind of money. Slays me how the traitors bail for more money, then spend it (not THAT money of course) on stuff like this.

I wish Great nothing but joy and a high ankle sprain in the first game.

Yup. Uw fans won’t show up for a top 15 opponent, and plenty of Cougs want nothing to do with this game. These tix will be given away during game week.

George Carlin was incredible. Favorite GC line. “Think about the average American. Now realize half of all Americans are dumber than that”.
