2026 Football Season Ticket Renewal

[Irishsecra1]

Now if Angeli had not gone down with a season ending injury, I firmly believe we would have won 7 or 8 games. Especially with our defensive improvements.

And we have made defensive improvements, fans just don’t really realize it because our defense usually gives up by half time due to a blow out and no faith in the offense.

It just shows how incredibly important a good QB is.
Fran went from hero to close to a zero in many fans eyes because we lost our QB, have no serviceable backup and can’t score points.

I’m always confused by ticket price conversations on message boards full of fanatics. The demand should be completely inelastic for those of us who spend our time here. There isn’t a price that exists where I’m not renewing.

True but there is definitely a price point where I might consider moving down the field 10-15 yards.

Just remember next has several games which will get premium resale pricing

7 home games and a home slate many would dream of yet we have people complaining on here because our prices are middle of the road for season tickets and we asked if people wanted to renew earlier than normal and only for people who did auto-renewal.

Some folks on this site just want to complain to complain.

Im the first to be uber critical of Syracuse Athletics and this is one that makes me just simply scratch my head.

I believe most seats are taken in the lower level but if you are near the aisle in B (35ish yard line) you would save $225 per seat by moving near the aisle in C (25ish). That is the biggest gap between levels by far.

Home games against Notre Dame, Clemson, SMU, Louisville, Cal. Pretty good.

Looks like I've been Otto Pay auto renewed for November 15, but probably need to read that closer.

Otto pay I need that app

Middle of the road compared to what? To the P4? Then we should be no where near middle. To our peer programs? Then middle makes more sense but is still probably too high. Last time I checked a few years ago we were more than BC, Pitt, Rutgers. Not sure if that is still the case for the 2026 pricing.

In the ACC our average season ticket price is something like 10th.....

Avg can be skewed by Club seating. Some schools have more than others. IMO comparing seating levels is more apples to apples. Our A-D levels shouldn't be more than our peer programs IMO. There isn't enough demand for SU FB. Outside of parents weekend we have struggled to surpass 90% capacity for a stadium that hold less that 45k.


Edit
Back in 2021 A level was $500 and next they are $850.

I am not complaining about my prices because I love SU FB. I just think things are out of whack. Especially the B vs C gaps and the upper decks.

 

[Millhouse]

Unfortunately we currently have the worst or close to the worst P5 product in the country.
QB is king and our cupboard is apparently completely bare.

I dare say only true die hard fans will rush to renew their season tickets after the horror show Friday. And the previous Collins led games were not much better.

I will renew , after 30 years the loyalty is deep.
But the average fan will look at these last 4 games, with the holidays approaching, and find other things to buy.
We go to games for entertainment, not to get a migraine from sheer frustration or a sore throat from yelling ourselves hoarse.

I will renew but probably not go

I went to one game this year and it sucked

That's because I wasn't there.

I gave up my tickets last season (for age, distance, weekend costs, etc.). I felt bad at the time but am so thankful today. I follow the team on sites like this and watch on TV. I have to turn the TV off for games now.

 

[tbonezone]

attendance is down so you jack prices ? well that's some 3D chess level Keynesian economics.

There’s one more game to start with. But you do you.

The prices are whatever. I am peeved about the parking though. I lost my West parking passes this year because they apparently reduced the number available, so I got moved to Harrison. Now parking is locked in and renewable, so I likely won't get back to West. Sucks.

 

[upperdeck]

Parking is a great unknown. Makes you wonder how many people will not renew and how many spots will open back up. In theory say you donated enough to jump 2 levels which may only require $500 or so in many cases. If you do that and no spots open when you get back in line are you upset. You could find spots in some lots open but spots in West dont as well?

Now that they are being renewed, I might have done that last year and tried to jump people, but not knowing renewal was going to be a thing why would I bother.

Spots will open back up as some people won't renew or they will change lots etc. Stay in touch with your rep and let them know you want West and be sure to review for a donation to get you up to the next giving level.

There is an upgrade process next Spring.

I'm sure you can upgrade your seats or parking at that time.

I would be useful to know what donor level got into what lots last time. We have enough people here to get a general idea of where people stood when the various lots sold out.

I was Group 6. I could have just barely gotten into West, but I had a meeting when my selection time came so I couldn't log in. My rep, to his credit, called me because he saw West was selling out. By the time I got out of the meeting, West lots were gone and the best available was Harrison. Which isn't terrible but it's a kind of a long, uphill walk to campus.

Anyway, in 2025 you basically had to be Group 5 or better to get guaranteed West parking. But it's kind of irrelevant now because next year everyone that's in West can keep it if they choose to, regardless of donor level. So to get back there I'll need them to add spots or hope enough people don't renew that I can get back in.

 

[upperdeck]

The issue is that we have no way of knowing if spots even open up. Maybe your rep could give you glimmer of hope in time to know if donating to move up a level would even be worth it.

Jumping from 6 to 5 would be a $1k + donation bump.

I know when I got my parking spot 2 yrs ago I was in 6 and most of my lot was still free when I chose. Now that same spot would need to be level 5. I wont donate $2000 to get into level 5 when being in level 8 got that same lot for several years before all the seat moving was done. If jumping from 8 to 7 would do it I would gladly donate a few hundred. Even a one time bump to get to level 6 I might do, but hard to justify not knowing if it would even help.

I guess the real question is how far in advance do they find out people are not renewing compared to the donation deadline to set your donor level?

Still I think the whole concept of letting people buy 2 spots before many were allowed to even get one is the bigger issue for the avg person. I suspect far more people have 5+ tickets to get two spots then those with 4 or less who go no spot at all.

OttoPay will automatically bill the same credit card I used for last year's tickets.

Is there any way to change credit cards without calling my account contact?

I didn't see anything on cuse.com

Okay looks like you have to go into your account and then go to Payment Methods and change your card.

I did it on an actual computer vs mobile
