We are first time season ticket holders. The athletic department reached out to us at the end of February by phone and indicated that we would likely not be able to purchase single tickets for tOSU game and that season tickets were our best path. A large portion of the cost is considered a donation and when I looked at what we paid for individual tickets for family weekend and OSU in 2023, knowing we would want to be in Autzen for Illinois, Ohio State and the Washington game, it was a no-brainer for us.
There were not a lot of options (we purchased two seats) to choose from but we are in Club Level. Our seat mates next to us marveled at the fact that we got Club Level in our first year, and we think the seats behind us were Ohio State season ticket holders. So far we have been to every game but Boise State and are so happy we did it. Had Oregon not reached out to us, we would never have considered it! So, no wait list. No deposit. GO DUCKS!
