Orange Bowl Tickets from IPTAY

Long time IPTAY member. We are thinking of ordering Orange Bowl Tickets. If we decide not to go how hard do you guys think it would be to sell them?

Last year I bought 2 Sugar Bowl Tickets thru IPTAY and ended up not going. Sold them for $75 below what I paid so ended up eating about $150 Total.

i understand having to sell for cheaper and losing money on these games, i did on a couple of games during the regular season, but luckily i have made money off the acc tickets i purchased back during the summer when nobody knew who would be playing, gonna use the extra money to go toward the semifinal trip, as long as clemson takes care of business the next two weeks.. i lost money when clemson played virginia tech in orlando, i practicly gave them away to get rid of them. so its a guess what people will pay and where they will travel. lot of tickets will bottom out closer to game times on stubhub and other secondary markets. I hope i get lucky from iptay with semifinal tickets and final tickets but nobody knows how many will put in for them.

First of all, there is no assurance that Clemson goes to the Orange Bowl. If Bama is the top seed, they could select the Orange Bowl which would send Clemson to Dallas and the Cotton Bowl. Granted, that's unlikely but still a possibility albeit a remote one.
Since the National Championship game is in San Jose this year, I think you'll see quite a few fans forego the semi-final game in order to save their money for the trip to California and the Championship.

Orange Bowl you aren’t charged so it’s not like you’re taking a chance on where we end up.

Bama does not get to choose. That’s false.
The number 1 seed is “assigned” to the semi-final location closest to their home campus.
If Bama is 1 they’re going to Dallas.

It is assigned but not necessarily to the closest location. If they decide the 4 seed has an advantage at the location the committee has the option to send the 1 seed to the farther location. It could be an issue if Oklahoma is the 4 seed, but I doubt it since they sent us to the Sugar last year. If the 4 seed was Texas it might be different, but Clemson to the Orange should be a pretty safe bet this year.

That's not my understanding. I believe 1 seed gets to choose. I wouldn't put it past Saban to choose the Orange to put us at a disadvantage. It's about 200 miles closer for them to go to the Cotton though. It may depend too on the 4 seed. Oklahoma getting the 4 spot could be a reason he would choose Orange over Cotton.

Actually I just re-read the criteria. It says preference will go to the number one seed. I have taken that out of context to believe it meant the coach got to choose. It actually says the committee makes the assignments.
"When assigning teams to sites, the committee will place the top two seeds at the most advantageous sites, weighing criteria such as convenience of travel for its fans, home-crowd advantage or disadvantage and general familiarity with the host city and its stadium. Preference will go to the No. 1 seed."

Orange Bowl.....

If Clemson is #1 or #2 in the final rankings, then we will go to the Orange Bowl based on the ACC's affiliation with the Orange Bowl. Got this from my Clemson roommate who is a past president of the Orange Bowl.

I don't think the rules say anything about a conference's affiliation with a bowl game venue. If we go to the Orange Bowl it won't be because of the ACC's affiliation with it. Let's beat Scar and Pitt first!

prices are listed on the application fee you have to fill out, it gives you the price levels you wish to choose from, I may be corrected but i think orange bowl was 275 and 175 for some tickets, for some reason cotton only listed 125 tickets..
national championship tickets will be 675,575 or 475 prices.. but you can check the application fee. as far as an iptay member getting to sell the bowl tickets, its a risk not knowing whether people are gonna go to the semifinals or finals. but i think more people might opt for semifinals since both are driveable and would be cheaper than two three or more family members having to fly to california and paying higher ticket prices..
