Michigan will not sell football tickets to the general public in 2020 (if there is a season)

Soccer games at Michigan Stadium will not be the same in 2020, that is if you can even play a season of college soccer.

The University of Michigan athletics department announced Wednesday that if the Wolverines can play this season, the capacity of the Michigan stadium will be reduced or games could be held without fans as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

There will be no tickets for the football season, and all home games will be sold on an individual game basis, with sales limited to season ticket holders and students. There will be no sale of tickets to the general public.

“We have been working closely with a wide variety of leaders to ensure a safe and healthy environment for our student athletes, coaches, fans and support staff associated with a game at the Michigan Stadium,” said Michigan Athletic Director Warde Manuel. , in a press release. . “We will follow the direction that all these agencies and experts continue to provide during this difficult time.”

Michigan also announced the following policies for the 2020 soccer season.

• For season ticket holders who chose to adjust their location / quantity of season tickets during the June update period, that new location / quantity will be retained for the 2021 season.
• Details about a possible sale of individual games will be communicated once a decision has been made about playing with or without fans.
• In the event that Michigan may have fans at any sporting event this season, all forms of ticket sales will be moved to a mobile platform.

Season ticket holders will have three options to choose from regarding their previous Preferred Seat Contribution and season ticket payments: convert the previous payment into a tax-deductible sports gift, apply towards the 2021 season, or request a refund. Once a final decision is made about the soccer season, the athletic box office will follow up with additional details on how to apply for the PSC option and season tickets. Season ticket holders do not need to take any action at this time.

As COVID-19 positive cases continue to rise in most parts of the country, the likelihood of a 2020 season is increasingly unlikely. The Big Ten announced last week that they will play conference games only this season, and Commissioner Kevin Warren noted, “We may not have a college football season.”

The Michigan soccer team, along with several other varsity teams, are back on campus participating in volunteer training. According to a July 10 university statement, Michigan has evaluated 514 athletes and staff in total, with four positive results.
