Solution to 10+ ticket situation
Dec 15, 2017, 9:33 PM
|

Make people provide a name for each pair on the application and pick up at will call. Any issues? This should stop the people buying just for reselling.

They should have 10 people that need tickets and should have no problem providing names right?

No, they give more money so have a right to more tickets.
We want these fancy buildings, fancy coaches and 5 star players but don’t understand where that money comes from? Can’t have it both ways. Would you prefer 8 win seasons and everyone who donates anything get tickets?

If they need 10 tickets that's perfectly fine
Dec 15, 2017, 9:53 PM

It's the people that immediately have them posted for sale that is bothering me and most people I would imagine. I want orange in the seats that give to IPTAY. Not resold.

If people give 6 figures to Iptay they can do whatever the hell they want with their tickets as far as I'm concerned.

I don’t give 6 figures...

But if I buy a ticket to any game, I can do whatever I want with it because I own it.

agreed. folks give the $$$.. they should get the perks. but i would look at one caveat- the # of bowl tix you order can't exceed the number of season tix you order. your point level makes you eligible to order 10, but you only bought 8 season tix.. so you can order 8 bowl tix. certainly, there have been (and will be again) bowl games where we couldn't sell all our tix. you may have to make adjustments once in a while. but matching season tix numbers to bowl tix numbers makes sense to me

No one donating at those levels is concerned about flipping a ticket for profit

So a person that donates 500.00 is eligible for the same amount of tickets that someone that pays 2,00-15,000

Well I donated double this year And got four season tickets but zero championship tickets this year. I got two from iptay last two years. It’s ######## and no, not eveybody that gets ten Tickets are big donors , some are living off great great great granddads points. Sorry a better system should allow more people a chance to go

and verify the dude is still alive. There are Life Donors from before they phased that out, but I hear WAY too many people talking about “their family’s seats in Death Valley” for x number of generations.

I've been in IPTAY over 30 years...
Dec 15, 2017, 10:17 PM

and I'm only getting four tickets.
It's better than zero but nearly as many as I needed.
Oh well...someone will be watching from the couch.

Its disappointing. I have 4 lower level season tickets, pay more to Iptay than what is required for the seats and parking I use, yet I can only get 2 Championship tickets? Not sure what is the best way to do this, but I'd really like the 4 tickets for my family.
Also, why do schools only get 20,000 tickets? Clemson fans alone will fill up 60k seats. I guess its all about the money.
As far as perks for mega donors, I know some (unfortunately, I'm not one). Most tickets are given away to friends, clients, etc. Great thing to do, but maybe when it comes to Bowl games, there should be a 4 ticket limit. If you can donate a half million or more a year to Iptay (and there are those that do), you can afford to buy tickets on-line and give more Clemson Iptay donors a chance to carry their whole family to the games. Just saying!.

High level donors should get more tickets than others
Dec 16, 2017, 8:29 AM
|

Why would they not?
You can reduce high donors to 6 tickets. But that would push the mid level donors down to 2 from 6. And, in that scenario, regular donors would get none.
Life ain't equal. Those that have given more should get more. The fact that you can have 1 IPTAY point and get 2 tickets to Semi is pretty fair, in my opinion. Only 40 IPTAY points to get 2 for Natty.
So is 10 tickets for big donors.

Actually it was 16 points for semi.
The last for playoff games they allocated everybody at least 2 tickets. They could had done the same this year to if they wanted. They just adjust the levels accordingly. We had less tickets to Tampa and high demand.
Very simple math problem to ensure everyone gets something. They will turn the younger donors off . These are the ones that have many more years to give.

If you need tickets, go on-line and buy the ones ITPAY donors are selling. As the game draws closer they will be selling for a little over face value and the money you saved by not donating enough to get 10 tickets will pay for them.

Tickets for natty won't be anywhere near face value
Dec 16, 2017, 10:37 AM

as game time approaches. If CU vs. Dawgs it will be the most expensive ever for natty.

What world are you living in? Didn't you see prices last year? Cheapest on stubhub right now are around $2000. When we win on the 1st they are going higher.

People with that many points deserve everything they get and more. Those are the people that fund the bulk of the scholarships, leave endowments, pay for naming rights on everything. They are the ones we cheer for during breaks in the game for donating gazillions of $ to Clemson. They have been doing this for decades even when we’ve sucked.
Without these donors we would not have the program we all enjoy today. We wouldn’t have a football complex with a slide. We wouldn’t be able to afford our awesome coaches. You should be thanking them rather than bitching about how many tickets they can buy. Were you complaining about how many Russell Athletic Bowl tickets they could buy years ago? No. Because you only care when it’s the “Natty”.
I wish I could get more tickets but my 114 points I’ve accrued over 18 years pales in comparison to what these people have done.
I say “thank you” to the big donors.
My $0.02.
