College Football Season Tickets - Go Huskies!

One really good thing about going back to school is to be able to get discounted student sports tickets! University of Washington has a variety of sports teams - football, baseball, basketball, volleyball, tennis, golf, soccer, cross country, rowing, gymnastics & track, which means there are always some sports events going on around the year. Washington Huskies is a nickname for its sports teams. Harry the Husky is the mascot. 


Among all the sports, we are particularly interested in men's football. Both UW and Stanford are members of PAC 10. They are playing in Seattle this year on Oct. 30th! Robert and I won't be stand for the same team this year for sure. Should be fun to watch together.


UW was a power house in football in the 90's, and has always been having a fairly strong team. Its quarterback - Jake Locker is among the best quarterbacks for college football. The biggest news this year is he  made a shocking decision to give up the opportunity to go to a pro team and to stay with UW to finish his senior year, which makes this year's football games even more anticipating. I just got us season tickets - 6 home games in total at the price of $125. It is an incredible deal compared to non-discounted price $375. Seats are great, in the middle session, plus a free t-shirt. Wahoo!

To get students' tickets you will need to call Huskies ticket office at 206-543-2200 and register an online account with your student ID # & your uw email address. With your account set, you can buy another sports event online at students' price. 


Each student is entitled to get one set of student tickets. If you want to get another set for your spouse or domestic partner, you will need to go to Huskies ticket office at Graves Building at Montlake Blvd in person, and present your marriage certificate or domestic partner certificate. Cheap deals come with strict rules, uh :)


We're very delighted to have got our football tickets nailed. The first two games are before the school begins on Sep. 11th and 18th, UW vs. Syracuse and Nebraska. Both of the teams are good ones, especially Nebraska. The game will be broadcasted by ABC. Don't forget to look for us on TV. BTW, as you know we go to Mariner's games sometimes. At the Mariner vs. Yankee's game last month, the TV broadcaster gave us a close-up shot. Many of our friends saw us on TV and sent us phone messages.  Yippee!
