Michigan will have no season tickets for 2020 college football season

The University of Michigan has announced there will be no season tickets for the upcoming college football season, as the ongoing coronavirus pandemic lessens the odds of games being played at all.

The school announced that all season tickets will be put on pause until next year, meaning that fans won't have to risk their safety just to hold onto their season tickets. If games are allowed to be played in front of fans at all, season-ticket holders will have an opportunity to buy tickets to the game and no tickets will go on sale to the general public. Additionally, all tickets will be sold via mobile to reduce the risk of COVID-19 spreading.

"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 Michigan Stadium," said Warde Manuel, Donald R. Shepherd Director of Athletics. "We will follow the direction that all of these agencies and experts continue to provide during this challenging time."

This policy of no season tickets has already been implemented by several NFL teams, including the Chiefs and the Ravens, and it's likely that as we move closer to the fall, more teams will do the same. After all, the coronavirus second wave hit before the first wave fully died down and, as a result, cases are spiking all across the country, with Florida becoming the first state to report more than 15,000 new cases in a single day.
