The University of Georgia announced on Wednesday attendance at Sanford Stadium for the 2020 season will be limited to 20 to 25 percent of capacity.
Sanford Stadium capacity is 92,746, so somewhere between 18,500 and 23,200 fans will be allowed in the stadium for each of this season’s four home games. Tickets will not be distributed to visiting teams.
Following the lead of the SEC and member schools, the policy is to limit social interaction and maximize the safety of athletes and fans during the pandemic, while providing the best game day experience for players and fans.
Ticket holders who opt out of the 2020 season will not be penalized or lose their seat location for 2021. UGA Athletics is attempting to accommodate current season ticket holders with the opportunity to attend at least one of the four home games. Tickets will be made available for the Florida game in Jacksonville, but tickets for the five away games will not be made available.
Following is UGA Athletics’ announcement:
The 2020 football season has been altered to a 10-game conference-only schedule including 4 home games vs Auburn, Tennessee, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt operating at a reduced capacity for each game. As a result, we are offering single game tickets to provide as many opportunities to current Hartman Fund donors who are season ticket holders, the ability to enjoy Georgia Football home games this fall.
Should you decide to not attend games this fall, your status as a season ticket holder will remain unchanged, and there will be an opportunity for refunds on previously paid Hartman Fund contributions, season tickets and/or seatback purchases. You will be eligible to renew your previously established season ticket locations for the 2021 season regardless of your ticket buying decision for the modified 2020 season.
Single tickets will cost $150/ticket per-game. This includes a $75 ticket price and a $75 contribution requirement. These costs will be deducted from any previously paid 2020 football season ticket payments and Hartman Fund contributions. All tickets allocated will include a seatback on each seat to help facilitate social distancing and enhance the experience for all attendees. All tickets will be delivered via mobile delivery. Ticket holders will be required to download their ticket(s) onto their smartphone for scanned entry on gameday. Masks will be required to be worn when entering Sanford Stadium and while moving throughout the concourse.
The number of games in which you are eligible to qualify for will be based on your 2020 Hartman Fund annual giving level and/or involvement in the Magill Society. All donors who opt-in will be prompted to fill out an application to request a 4-ticket block to each and every game they would want to attend. In order to maximize capacity, the socially distanced model only allots for blocks of 4 seats. All 4 seats must be purchased by the same account.
