Huskies report strong ticket sales increase for 2017 football season

Twenty-five years ago, in the aftermath of the Huskies’ magical 1991 season, tickets for Washington football games sold out months in advance of the 1992 opener. All 66,000 season tickets that year — including those to students and faculty — were sold.

Tickets were in such demand that in the spring of ’92 UW held a lottery for fans wanting to buy the handful of season tickets remaining.

It was, of course, a different era then — before sanctions leveled against UW began a two-decade run of (mostly) mediocrity, before mega media-rights deals made kickoff times unpredictable, and before high-definition television made it convenient for fans to stay home and watch games from their couch.
