The report on season ticket sales seemed "ok"... but they are a bit skewed by a could factors.
However, 1000's of seats available. I know it's Labor Day and vs ID State, but... most of the games are similar. And secondary prices are as low as I've EVER seen!!
Invite some new fans... with fees tix as low as $6 in VV. And $12-44 throughout all levels on West side.

I believe they just announced that season ticket sales were about on par with last season. Seems like the general public is not exactly buying up tickets for this season like they were the last two seasons, at least not yet. How much green/yellow vs. orange/black on Sept. 14th will probably be telling how much/little most casual fans cared about attending any games this year...

How much green/yellow vs. orange/black on Sept. 14th will probably be telling how much/little most casual fans cared about attending any games this year... Season tix were 96% renewal. Overall my ticket office employees will tell you "new season tix" have been very slow since before Covid. The lower East is mainly all the folks who moved to not pay the crazy West pricing. You can sit next to someone paying $2300+ per seat on the West for under $40. Every game has dropped about 50% in a week except CW. If you go on a site like Seat Geeks you can activate a 20% discount and get "season tix" in very similar seats, with fees for under $350. Much less if someone wants to save and watch CW on TV. But, SD St and their new season facing the same issue. Right now tix are like $70-$240+ and plenty to buy. Although SD in September has lots to offer till dark to get to a 7:30 game with overpriced tix!?

I believe OSU is running a ticket special for first responders, medical personnel and educators, so that maybe the reason for the cheap tickets. And if that may turn into an individual or family that buys tickets in the future I’m ok with the price.

Which includes tickets OSU releases. Most folks getting great deals (many paying more in fees than ticket price) aren't those that attend regularly. But, looking at the other games and the prices they could!?

I think OSU is just trying to continue the impression that the fans are still with the team despite the changes and looking to pack the stadium. Nothing eliminates any talk about joining other conferences like empty seats.

Good point. Even though I think the ACC is barely a “power” conference.

There is nobody at the Stanford game tonight.
Heard estimates of 33k for us tomorrow.
