I can't speak for other season ticket holders, but personally it doesn't bother me if the university sells tickets for a greatly reduced price to fill seats in the stadium. I would rather see the seats filled even if they have to give tickets away. As a season ticket holder I view the cost of the seats as a donation to the football program, not based on the value of attending a particular game. I would give X amount of $s each year even if I didn't plan on attending one game, but since I do attend, I just subtract the amount of the tickets from the amount I was planning on donating for the year and give the remaining amount as a cash donation. The program gets the same amount of money from me if I buy tickets or I don't. Anyway, that is how I look at it and why I don't get upset if somebody attends the games for next to nothing.
Outrageously priced single-game tickets went on sale today...RU is going to sell dozens and dozens

- Start date
I’m an alumnus of Rutgers College and GSM, not RU football. There’s shouldn’t be an expectation that I donate to football.
Sorry, just meant for alumni to donate in general for better outcomes for all of Rutgers.
Could the school be selling parking passes above face value? I see single offerings of eight scarlet passes on stubhub at inflated prices. Who is the seller of these? The school would never do that with their preferred ticket partner, I'm sure. $$$$
No one is making excuses for anything; people aren’t buying tickets because the current football leadership is terrible. You seem to think buying tickets = donating. You can donate without buying tickets.
...know what might be more lame than people not donating enough? Blaming fans for not buying season tickets to a program that has won 11 games in 4 years, loses their conference games by an average of 3+ scores and was frequently in the news for all the wrong reasons.

It's a two way street.how about Barchi and the BOG allows the school or Donors to get rid of Ash and show they are serious about creating a program that can compete at power 5 level,and not just money grab the B10 share money?
Not even a topic worth discussing. Show up 30-60 min before kickoff outside the stadium and scalp 2 tickets for $20 then sit wherever you want inside the stadium.
every season tix holder gets 2 free tix to that game. There will be plenty of free ones out there. Finding 2 more people to go with me will be the real issue.
I'll be excited for opening game on a friday night into the holiday weekend...just not yet...let the summer run for a bit...
I'll be at the Friday night MASS game
In the lots very early
Hope to see a RU win too, but I don't think they will cover

Maybe Hobbs should do a National Lampoon and rent some billboards with this message:IF YOU DON'T BUY RUTGERS SEASON TICKETS,WE'LL KILL THIS DOG
This is absolutely true. Barchi has one goal and only one goal when it comes to Rutgers athletics, and that is to reduce the deficit. He is quite content with Rutgers being in the bottom of the B10 for the foreseeable future. Therefore, he may very well give Ash another two or three or more years regardless of the win/loss record.
there is no way that the following groups will ALLOW Ash to remain after another disaster season.
1.Fan Base.
2.Media.
3.Donors.
4.B10.
he should NOT be here for this season.
Hobbs needs to be FIRED if ASH remains after this season.
Hobbs should be aware of the Bus driver,and go back an revisit the Mike Rice scandal if he wants to survive.
IMHO.
At this point, just send my an extra end zone ticket for every season ticket I have and they can sell the rest for $10. I’ll do a better job filling that seat than someone taking a paycheck to fill the seat.
The first three will influence whether Ash stays or goes. The B1G will not get involved, and I have heard the argument that they don't want the program in their largest market to be pitiful, but that is exactly what they allowed to happen for over a decade in their then largest market, Chicago, without interfering. They want access to Chicago and New York markets, the conference is not concerned whether we produce a competitive program to the level of actually interjecting itself into how we run our program.
We've come a long way since the days of the waiting list.

You post the same message over and over. Why exactly should we listen to you?
Blame it on the fans. You are a complete idiot.
BTW the way the more we pay the less the school donates. Some of you clowns just don't get it.
Yup, the other schools could give a rat's ass if we remain the doormat of the conference for the next 100 years. As long as we keep providing those BTN subscriber fees and making them rich they could care less.
The B1G does care that the money you receive from BTN goes to Athletics. As they do have a product to protect.
However with our subsidy, Barchi and the BOG have made sure they get their share 1st, then athletics can have the rest once they're done. Like I've always said the Rutgers Administration treats Athletics like a foreign entity and not part of the University.
Proof that if you build a winner at Rutgers the support will undoubtedly be there.
until Ash is gone and others (maybe like you) stop enabling Hobbs and Barchi to put an embarrassing effort into fixing football,the message will continue .
Barchi and Ash both need to be fired before Rutgers can field a good football team that New Jersey can be proud of.
Just for the record, I supported the last years' strategy of giving our best freshman and sophomores significant playing time. We will see immediately in the MassU game whether this yields improved football. But to say that I am enabling the Athletic Director and the Head Coach to continue to put out an embarrassing effort is silly and naïve. I strongly suggest you say less in future posts.
