A lot better than I thought it would be right now, I'm sure they'll sell about 6k before its done. Better than the 700 the coots have sold.

Those prices are stupid

cheapest ticket should be 25 bucks. That is if you're trying to fill it out. Its a mid level bowl game. Simple fix, if you go down there and buy outside the stadium you'll get in for 20-40 bucks a piece. If not you'll have plenty of time to hit up the box office and buy the 60 dollar nose bleeds.

The game is being played the Monday after Christmas so it likely won't be anywhere even remotely close to a sell out. Buy the least expensive tickets you can find outside the stadium before the game and sit pretty much any where you want.

The tickets could be $25 dollars and they still wont be able to sell the allotment. I know for a lot of people, its not the ticket but the cost of the whole trip. I'm one of the fortunate ones. I'll be there hopefully enjoying the warm weather and a good game.

Sponsors gotta get theirs . It is technically price gouging , but it falls under the shroud of free market capitalism .

I made it to the Valley for a game this year but my wife did not get the opportunity to see her team (WVU) play. So we're headed to the Liberty Bowl. I did do a "ticket for the Troops" however.

Crazy. If you're not a big-time bowl, why aren't tickets
Dec 16, 2014, 4:58 PM
|
|
super cheap? The money comes from visiting fans...filled hotels, filled restaurants, people in stores. At the game, it's concessions and enough for the seats to cover expenses. It certainly doesn't HURT TV to have a packed game to show. Greed is out of control in college football.

Switcheroo or not, lower ticket prices or not. There seems to be just the faithful who go anyway's. Most people complain about the bowl, or the ticket prices and they had no intention of going anyway's.

We bought 4 tickets for about $40 or $50 each

Wasn't that hard to find a good price on stubhub. We only bought them through stubhub because there wasn't a link on the clemsontigers.com webpage to buy them directly through Clemson. Think we also got tickets for the "One Clemson" tailgate.

Wow, that's going to limit ticket sales.

No way I would pay that when I could find them cheaper elsewhere.
I'm surprised how high they are.

Not really/ The biggest reason is the QB replacing him.

Does anybody know why the schools that has a bowl team. Why are they excepting a mandatory number of non returnable tickets to be sold that are bull sh!t tickets compared to the tickets that are being by sold by outside sources like StubHub or Ticketmaster for less money. I just don't know why a school would except a guaranteed loosing deal as that.

Probably an ACC contractual agreement with the bowl

Which the ACC then passes along to the school

Standard operating procedures for bowls
Dec 16, 2014, 9:42 PM
[ in reply to Re: FB Update: Clemson ticket sales for Russell Athletic Bowl ] |
|
a schools "payout" includes the tickets from the bowls. Thats why the payout calculations are stupid. They include these absurd prices in total to the school.
In some ways the bowls themselves are competition for the school in that the bowl also will sell tickets.

if ticket prices weren't so ridiculous. How they justify ripping people off like that for a second-tier bowl, I'll never know.
