I think the students contribute to our success in Death Valley ... maybe more than the coaches... I do not mind paying Dabo 5million+ but not on the the backs of the students!

Students don't deserve $250 tickets. They can sit up top. Less seats for GT fans

That's a misleading title to the article. Clearly, students can still attend football games for free as the information posted under the article outlines.

Agree. They can choose to pay for better seats or go for free in the upper deck. Plus if they pay, they don't have to take the time to try to go get the tickets.

So what. Free is free. Students can get into the game for free, the title of the article leads one to believe otherwise.

Is this because

They've been using profanity in the fight song? Or just to raise money to put seats in the east endzone?

With they have to buy the ticket at face value as well? Just wondering?
If so, on average, that puts a student cost approaching to $100 per game for the season with the Iptay fee for the lower seats and hill?

The way I read it, it's just a fee of $225 for the entire season and that comes to a little over $30/game. That's not too bad but I can't speak for everybody. Seems fair, times are changing and despite our desire for things to remain the same, they can't...Its just life, I guess.

Non students have to pay 800-1600 I think for similar seats.

So they get a pretty good discount.

A big discount. But there will always someone petitioning for something free bc they feel they deserve it. IMO, every student that enrolls at Clemson, they enroll bc of the quality of education offered at Clemson University, and surely not to go to sporting events for free But, Clemson is offering their students the privilege to attend sporting events for FREE. Rightfully so, the free seat privilege doesn't include seats of the student's choice. There are a lot of people paying lots of money to sit in the upper deck. and anyone that cries and complains about sitting in the upper deck for absolutely FREE of any cost for the seat, they should keep their AS$ES at home where they can have a choice seat in front of their TV. And if they are watching at a friends house, please don't pisss and moan when they can't sit in the home owners chair!!!!

Football tickets aren't "FREE." They are included in the cost of tuition, which is raising every year. There wouldn't be a football team without the University.

Did you read the posting about the athletic department

getting ZERO funding from the University? It's actually the other way at Clemson. The AD gives money to the school, and all students benefit from the parking lots that get paved, etc. using IPTAY funds.

Well, that is great! But still the Football Team exists through the University, and not the other way around. Otherwise it would be the NFL---
Just my opinion as a Clemson student who studied hard, counted every dime, and attended Clemson Football games! I think the student section should be on the lower level and that all students, even those with less money, should be able to attend. Some majors are really demanding (architecture, engineering, others) and you can't really have a job and work. Once you get a job, it's a different thing to charge.
At the same time, I wish students would stay in the section until the end of the game! If you take a ticket, you should respect the game....

Without the college, it's called the NFL!!! When there is College without FB, there will be training centers everywhere for out of HS pre NFL football centers that will play games just as college does it. And the center will recruit basically the way colleges does it. There will small cash offered under fair guidelines, I'm sure!!!

I am 40 year iptay guy and students need to be (a good portion any way) in the lower deck in the section by the hill to create crowd noise. the upper deck by hill is also good but dont fix what works for a great atmosphere.

alone and please do not move them to a worse spot as the noise near the hill is great. I think that the price is too high for a student and not sure this is a good move. soemtimes if it it broke dont fix it just because you can. new ad's love to screw some things up inspite of having a vision about other things. us old iptay folks sure aint gong to be able to create that atmosphere.

Students should go to games free but the AD needs to pay $1000 per game.

I would have loved the ticketing cost to get a ticket. I had one for every game, but had to wait in line (a Pain). I would have worked extra jobs to pay for it because I wasn't one of the haves, as they say! It is all about priority. Students sell tickets, just like everyone else to make money. Hopefully, this will eliminate that. It's all about greed too. You have to pay coaches and provide for the professional experiences we are seeing at Clemson. When I was at Clemson we were terrible. Winning has a price to play. Go Tigers!!!!

Paying it on the backs of students who by and large have no reliable source of income as it is. It's shameful.

My understanding is that the student will have to join the IPTAY Collegiate Club, which cost $40 per year or $130 for four years if you pay up front.....this then gives them the right to purchase their lower level ticket for $225.
Is this correct Nikki?

Exactly, and I assume that a parent that has a kid at Clemson would gladly pay 225 a FB season for their kid to attend a game. That's $32 bucks a game. Concerts cost much more, about anything that young people want to do away from home cost much more, and they don't have to risk driving home drunk!!!
