Washington Visitor Section Tickets Sold Out?!

[PatrickRU92]

WTF I got my tickets today in 332 also. You can't tell me we sold our entire allotment

F***

 

[PatrickRU92]

I'm infuriated. It was 80 bucks right? Row 53 in the upper deck??? Why don't I just watch the game from the top of the Space Needle?

Screw it. I'm buying more tickets in 102 which BTW are 45 bucks. See you guys there

I looked at the interactive stadium seating plan and IMO the Sec 332 are better than the 102 seats. The upper level provides a much better view of the field ; the 102 seats are low level end line seats in the end zone. I guess it's a matter of personal preference. I don't mind sitting in a steeply sloped upper level looking down on the action ( and also having a view of the lake).

There's a difference between the upper deck and row 53 of the upper deck!!

you are right though it is personal. I'm definitely not an upper deck guy. I like to be near the action even if the vantage point isn't as good

I think the top row is Row 67 so you are right, those seats are up there. My group is in Row 54.

Why was Arizona so low? Relatively speaking of course.

Crappy weather, starting time, and I believe there was a Seahawks home game the next morning. The Seahawks play like 20 min. away from Husky Stadium and they seem to be the hot item in Seattle these days.

The one sucky thing about Husky Stadium is the wind and rain come right off the lake when the weather gets rough and the Arizona game was in November .. cold, rainy and windy. The wind goes right through your bones on nights like that.

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

I expect the visitor section to be pretty crappy seating (e.g., endzone). But, I have a very hard time understanding how people who bought through the RU ticket office aren't all together and all in the "normal" UW visitor sections (which on every seating chart on the internet is section 101). How/why RU fans are getting split-up between 2 section on opposite sides of the stadium? -- especially for a game that is far from sold-out.

i don't understand........

I agree. Perhaps section 101 is undersized. I did find an inquiry on one of the seating chart sites from a Cal fan requesting info regarding his seats in sec 332, so it appears they use that section for visitors as well.

Schools normally break up the section where opposing fans sit. It lowers the perception that a visiting school has "taken over" a stadium. RU does the same thing. One visiting section is in the North end zone and others are in the two corners of the visiting side upper deck.

Yeah they look cool until you have to walk up and down them. They look steeper than psu's last year. That friggin Erector set, I thought to myself one missed step and I'm going 40 rows all the way to the bottom. NO THANKS, I'll never go back to that stadium again in my life.

My wife flipped out trying to come down the stairs at PSU last year. Steep, no handrails and it was raining!!!

 

[shields]

Can't wait for game even though 80 bucks was steep. Patrick I am in section 332 also, would love to finally meet you.

@PatrickRU92 @RU Husky

I'm not looking for the actual number, but would you say you have a low amount of priority points? If you have a decent #, that means we'll have a good turnout, right?

Beaver Stadium, for all the people it seats, is really a bit of a dump and I second that its a bit dangerous.

That's actually not so bad, I hate paying the 85 for those seats but if I see a win, idc what I paid...thanks RU Husky!

Those white tents on the left side of that pic .. behind the jumbotron is known as 'The Zone'. It's the UW practice field and its right on the lake shore. It's a beer garden with food, drinks, and a crap load of big screen TV's. It's messed up seeing how fans go there at halftime to load up on booze and they don't make it back to their seats until halfway through the 3rd qtr ... and some never make it back.... they just drink and watch the game on the tube. It makes for empty seats in the stadium after halftime.

I got 4 tickets in Section 332 also in Row 53. Maybe I will see Patrick there if you don't move down. 332 is even with the end zone. My group may decide to sit with RU fans but I suspect that there will be empty seats toward the middle. I also prefer lower seats which is why I chose field level 25th row 30 yard line over upper deck 9th row 50 yard line at High Point Stadium but I will wait to see what it is like at the Washington game.

Sounds like there will be plenty of RU fans in Sec 332. From the seating chart, Sec 101 seems to be an undersized thin slice of seats at the very corner of the lower bowl. As you note and as the picture I posted shows, 332 is sorta in the center of the end zone, not the back corner at field level. In either event, it's about what you'd expect for visitor seats. Ill be happy to be in the stadium to root on the Scarlet Knights.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Separate sections for visitor allotments, not near one another, started abut 5 years ago at a lot of stadiums.

At least 101 and 332 are almost right across from each other. Could make for a good R-U cheer if anybody knows how to do it correctly.

Not sure about my total priority points but it puts me in blue parking. I suspect that RU did not get all of section 332 and that the lower rows went to Washington fans.

I think that's right. Sec 332 looks pretty big. We've probably got the upper rows.

 

[PatrickRU92]

I spoke to the others in my party and we decided to suck it up and buy more tickets to get down lower. We got tickets in 102 on Stub Hub for pretty cheap.

Just way too far removed from the action for my taste being up that high. I guess it's partly my fault as I thought sure the RU allotment would all be in 101. If I had known there was a good chance we'd be stuck up in the nosebleeds like that I never would have purchased from RU and I'm one of those guys who have been a huge advocate for purchasing tickets through the University.

I am pretty sure that once you leave High Point Stadium at Rutgers you cannot get back in. I am not a fan of tailgating outside during the game but I would not mind having a beer garden next to the stadium (although, if I really think about it, with the amount of food and drinks everyone brings to RU games it is probably not needed).

You can't bring in food and drinks inside Husky stadium anymore so they go to that beer garden. It sucks because that stadium isn't near as loud when a portion of the fan base is sitting outside of it getting boozed up.

I'm dreaming of the chant with1 minute left after Grant's punt return for a TD and the lead!
BTW my seats are in 332 I'd much rather be there than 101. And a view of Rainier will be cool
