Wow..."maybe" sell 10K out of 17,500 received! What's up....

with TiGER Fans? I know we haven't nearly sold 2/3's of our tickets to other recent bowls..maybe more like 3/4 to the Chick last year..
Guess the recession or bigger TV sets or disinterest in attending bowls is the cause..But hopefully not the interest in our Team.
Heard that EVEN Nebraska is a hard sell to the Gator this year vs UGa (well, will they even field a team what with injuries!!).
I didn't want to attend OB either..but got $50 tix & $125 room at SouthBeach across from ocean..so what the heck..we just decided to drive down for 4 days/2 nights from Savannah area..and soak it in and pull for TiGERS!

It's not what's up with Tiger fans

It's what's up with college football. These days it's pretty rare for a school to sell out all its tickets to a bowl. (Occasional exceptions being for schools who are in a "oh my god we actually got invited to a bowl?!!" game and/or within 150 miles of home)

Like Duke? I heard some alumni bought tickets and gave them out for free to students since Atlanta is a reasonable distance from Durham and they haven't been to a decent bowl in like a bajillion years or something like that.

Clemson fans are more enlightened. Cheaper and better seats

available on stubhub and you get the tickets right away.also, the OB hasn't sold out since FSU-Penn State in 06. There will be great seats available from scalpers on game day for way less than face.

I got tired of having to wait for the AD to decide where I will sit. I left IPTAY after the SEP a few years back. Still a Tiger fan. Still travel to bowl games. I am sure there will be a lot of Tiger fans in Miami...a lot more than the 7500 who have bought tickets through the AD so far.

I am going. Didnt bother me near as much as you
Dec 20, 2013, 9:25 AM

So is my daughter, son-in-law, son, his girlfriend, a friend and his finance, his sister and her husband and their 2 kids.
Car magnet says " On the way to watch the Tigers play".
Doesnt say anything about -- "and only if we won our last game."
You stay home and watch it on TV and post each and every play about how you would do things different. By the time I get home your thread will be buried and I wont have to read it. Works out for everyone!

I really do wish they would start swinging the ban hammer. I'm tired of getting on here during away games and there are a billion different threads in all caps about the play that just happened. Like everyone else didn't just see that.

Skip the honeymoon

Hell, skip the wedding too. You can save TONS of money that way (for the marriage, reception, honeymoon, divorce lawyers, etc.)

got mine through stub...

If iptay had stubhub type system..maybe they would do better. I doubt I have ether points to get a good seat which is evident of my post season tickets. If rather just pick my bad seat and pay less for it.

Miami is entirely too expensive
Dec 20, 2013, 1:06 PM
|
|
The bars down there are too expensive, restaurants are too expensive, bottom line, it's just too dang expensive. I knew I was in trouble when I went to a bank machine there, pulled out $200, and the machine shot two bills out. Have you been to an ATM that spits out $100 bills? I haven't, until then.

I honestly couldn't afford to go even though I wanted to. $400+ (each!) flights for 2 + bowl tix + place to stay + food would run us nearly as much as a summer vacation if not more. So, I did the next best thing I guess, I ordered 2 tix to be given to some of our Armed Forces.
Go Tigers! Merry Christmas to all of you!

The problem is that after the bowl itself gives out its tickets to their gladhanders, they'll dump the rest on the open market while the schools pay the full retail price on their "allotment". Extortion might be a better word as the school is left being responsible for paying for all of their full price tickets.
It's common knowledge that the same tickets you get from the University are usually available for a fraction of the cost online.

Stub Hub Club Level - $125
Dec 21, 2013, 9:41 AM
|
|
And before you speak about loyalty, our family shells out well over $10,000 a year in Iptay, Tickets, Accomodations, shopping in downtown Clemson. It's time the universities stand up to the bowls and demand better seats for the schools. Why would we pay $125 for an upper level prime seat when we can sit in what has been described as a luxurious club level? The current system is broken and will get worse with the playoff next year. How in the hell are fans of semifinal winners going to plan another trip cross country on a week's notice.

Its probably because no one wants to travel such a long distance and pay all that money to watch a team play with a high percentage that they may implode for no reason (WVU orange, FSU home, etc). Since you never know what Clemson team/which Taj Boyd is going to show up to play, people probably would rather watch from the comfort of their home rather than risk paying all that money/driving that distance to see a disaster unfold. There is just too much inconsistency in the program right now when it comes to playing big teams on the big stage.
