Considering the tickets are going for as low as $12 on Stub-hub i'd say the same! My wife and I are going down though! Flying out of GSP on Friday morning.

Agreed. Disappointed that the schools and coaches unilaterally bought into the NCAA's latest politically correct manifesto. Wish we had more backbone, but more than likely this part of Obama's agenda will go the way of the Dodo bird. (Compared to Obama's executive order on this issue, I feel sympathy for the Dodo.)
Sorry I can't make if to Orlando, but Go Tigers!

Lol Obama's agenda? This is bigger than a president - it's about basic human rights.
Let's support our persecuted friends in NC by showing up in force to Orlando!

Persecuted friends? Are you serious? Trans Phobia?

Dude you have this so wrong, first of all until this game got moved causing me to miss it I could not have cared less about this bathroom issue. I could care less about peoples sexual preferences or their desire for attire if you know what I mean. Now though the issue has had an impact on my life I feel compelled to take a side in the issue. Congratulations perverts you now have an otherwise neutral person pissed at you.

How does a football game being held in any town ever get tied up with a bill being considered by politicians? The folks who tied the two are the problem. I agree with you that I don't care two whiffs about the bathroom deal but some have made it their mission in life to disrupt others lives in an attempt to push a political agenda..hold them hostage in other words...it's ridiculous that on a site set up for following anything sports concerning Clemson we are talking about politics. The two should never meet. Go Tigers!

Deciding which bathroom to p*ss in based on what gender you chose to be on any particular day isn't "about human rights".
It's about mentally deranged people with severe emotional issues and the liberals that find anything not "totally accepted" by society as obscenely offensive.
Obama's agenda? Most likely. It was a federal law that NC refused to acknowledge. I stand behind them and will not be going to Orlando just so the left coast President of the ACC can feel "high and mighty" about his decision - hopefully, the ticket sales are so bad that they return the game to NC.

I am in a similar situation. Me and 3 of my family are going.
I will say one other thing. I bought mine via groupon @ $35/each. The tickets through Clemson were $150-$200. That is ridiculous.

thus artificially inflating the price. It's cheaper to buy through the stadium or stubhub because they face no such restrictions.

I would recommend going downtown. Lots of bars to choose from and easy in and out. The bars are mostly on Orange Ave a couple blocks East of I-4. There is a shuttle that runs from there to the stadium.

And no one will have to worry about which bathroom. T total horse crap. I have a meeting at noon that will take about 1 hour, after that I could have made it to CLT by gametime but because some guy that thinks he might should have been a girl and needs a bathroom that is neutral to ponder this over in I am going to miss this game......want to ask me again why I voted for Trump???

I'm cool with transgenders, I don't care what bathroom they use...really I don't. I care about football. I don't see how the two issues ever came into the same freaking conversation but they have. Undoubtedly it was to get my attention, it has done so.

Wait, so you never cared about which bathrooms transgender people use, and there was never a rule against transgenders using the bathroom they chose...and then a political party comes out of nowhere and creates a rule under the guise of "protection", and you're upset at transgender people for causing the problem?
I would have preferred the ACC keep the game in Charlotte, even if I oppose the law, but it sounds like you're mad at the wrong people.

Believe you'll fine that was a personal position. WRT public policy DT has been consistent in the Constitutional position that matters of health, education and welfare are left to the States. He ran and won on an anti-PC platform. That does not conform to your statement, "in NC."

We respectfully disagree entirely on HB2 and who is to blame for the game's relocation. The fault is not with the NCAA, nor with the ACC.
Many have swallowed the thin veneer fed to you about what HB2 was about, allowing your sensibility to be played by conniving politicians who shoveled through an ill-thought, illegal bill based that was bound to fail upon legal inspection.
But because someone cynically told them this was a threat to our children, rather than spend the time to research what a specious, venal argument that is and conveniently ignoring the added wording that was really behind the bill's passage, they accepted it.

Was in Southern Europe last week. On a p-break, women would line up "10 deep" to go in the stall which had walls and a door, next to the guy's open urinal. You can argue child safety, but not personal privacy. That is a personal choice.

Oh, it's about the NC law that responded to "conniving politicians who shoveled through an ill-thought, illegal bill based [sic] that was bound to fail upon legal inspection" in Charlotte? Because it really seemed like you were talking about a city ordinance that would've allowed people to sue for not affirming transgender ideology, rather than a law that would've allowed private entities to do whatever they wanted while preserving the status quo sex separation in public spaces.

Three post-season travel games means a lot of money must be expended on tickets and travel. Something has to give.
ACC needs to have championship games at higher-ranked team.

Nowadays, human rights & constitutional rights . . .
Dec 1, 2016, 1:01 AM
|
|
are routinely dismissed as "political correctness". We're truly living in dangerous times. Consider the gravity of this - N.C. has stripped its gay & transgender residents of all legal protections. Yet it's deemed an outrage for the NCAA, ACC & Clemson University to take a stand against this law?
That said, I've always been ambivalent about this whole boycott effort, because such boycotts are seldom effective in bringing about the political change they purport to seek, & they often provoke a backlash that does long-term damage to the cause. About the only thing boycotts are effective at is allowing certain people feel righteous. Moreover, boycotts are kind of like the political equivalent of chemotherapy - aimed at treating the cancer but causing great suffering for the entire body & only occasionally successful at eradication. Likewise, this boycott is ostensibly aimed at the state of N.C. for its anti-gay law, but in the end it's Charlotte - the city that tried to do the right thing for its LGBT residents only to be overruled by the N.C. General Assembly - that takes the brunt of the punishment.
In the end, there are no winners at all in this. Charlotte & the state of N.C. both lose the economic impact, the tax revenue & the TV exposure that this game would've brought. Clemson & Virginia Tech fans both lose - with both schools less than 3 hours' drive away, just imagine how hot these tickets would be right now if the game were still in Charlotte. The ACC loses too, because its football championship game, after struggling for years with poor attendance, has thrived in Charlotte, averaging just under 70,000 fans each game (2nd among all conference title games) & frequently selling out. No doubt about it - this game BELONGS in Charlotte. What has happened this past year fills me with sadness.

Agreed. This was a nonissue that both parties served up to satisfy the extremes of their respective bases. Niki Halley called it as such when SC pols in General Assembly tried to create same nonsense in Columbia. McCrory got his just desserts in recent election. Jennifer Roberts won't be mayor after next election. ACC Championship belongs in Charlotte!

purposefully or not, misunderstand the meaning of "Right". There are no rights that were being violated, because pizzing where you decide to #### is not a "Right" anymore than "healthcare" or streaking. Stop falling into the trap. PC has dumbed you and many others down. It's uneducated people thinking they have a "right" to everything they decide should be a "right". Please name for me all of the LGBT community persons who were having their "rights" violated in Charlotte.

Yea, as someone who never has & never will live in North Carolina, I'm not an expert on HB2...but back when the game was originally stripped from NC, it took 5 minutes to discover that the bathroom issue was really just the tip of the iceberg and and extremely critical things--like allowing employers to legally discriminate based on race, sex, or religion--were passed by this bill.

Not complacent - just refusing to support the left-coast ACC decision to move game all the freaking way to FLA over some perverts beef with wanting to pee in the wrong bathroom.
Hit the ACC where the money is. I'll watch it from home this year.
Go tigers!

There's just so much wrong with this post...
...first, as others have mentioned, there is so much more to the law which people are opposing. The law legalized employers' rights to discriminate based on race, sex, sexuality and religion...do you support that?
Even if you do support those things, your protest against the "left coast ACC" makes no sense. You're going to "Hit the ACC where the money is" by not going to the game...instead you'll be watching them on TV, thus supporting the ACC's main source of revenue: TV contracts.
You're essentially protesting AmBev by refusing to buy your normal 6 pack of Budweiser, and instead buy a 12 pack of Bud Light. Good job.

There's nothing wrong with the post.
No law gives anyone the ability to discriminate based on any of those factors - NC is an "at will" state - private entities can do as they wish regarding transgender bathrooms or employment (as the bill breaches that as well).
You can call "firing" anyone that isn't a white male "discriminatory" if you like - we've been hearing that garbage for 8 years and I'm sure there isn't a person alive that hasn't been fired or laid off. Likewise, you can call anyone who doesn't want a trans-male-pervert pissing next to their 8 year daughter, "discriminatory" - I'm sure all women would love unisex bathrooms @ games where drunken men have peed all over the toilet seats as well.....why not?
The "left coast ACC" is derived from the fact that a menial percentage of people are put on a pedal stool above the majority in order to obtain some social justice award that negatively affects said majority attending the game and commerce of an entire city. If trans-people want to take a p*ss - who cares - let them - just keep your leftist "you should be ashamed of yourself" BS politics out of sports.
Hitting the ACC where the money is? Yup. Not attending the game will cost the ACC and the teams will lose money from ticket sales as well. Why does this not matter to me? Well, I already send thousands per year to Clemson for IPTAY - and I'll watch the game from my FREE ESPN app - which won't contribute to the ACC either. Last year I, and many others, attended the game in Charlotte and b/t tickets, hotel, meals, pre game festivities and menial extras, spent quite a bit of money that won't be circulated this year.
Your last statement makes absolutely not sense.
Good job.

Regular season Clemson games are a 5+ hour trip. I still go. This trip is about a 4 hour drive. The cheap ticket price and splitting the hotel room makes this less than the cost of a regular season game for me. Food and gas will be more expensive in Orlando, but there are ways to mitigate that. People were trying to sell South Carolina game tickets for more than I will be spending on this trip. ?? To everybody crybabying over then moving the venue, get over it. Some of us regularly travel long distances to see them play. We don't just go because it's conveniently down the street.
Regarding that bill they passed, as a female, if a man feels transgendered and wants to use my bathroom, let him/her. At least he'd look the part. It's much more unnerving having a transgendered female who looks like a man waltz out of the stalls. Are we now going to further insult masculine-looking chicks by accusing them of being genetically a male? Nobody's doing a genitalia check. If a man is a creeper, he's going to be a creeper.

The ACC is responsible for any light crowds by Clemson or VT. It would have been set up as an epic crowd in Charlotte. Last year was awesome! 70/30 Clemson maybe more.
Second to that it just cost too much and decisions have to made as to how many of these games you can attend.

1. From north metro-Atlanta, Orlando is 9 hours. Just did it in September. 2. NC is much better for us, with friends/family support in Greenville. 3. Big Education has gone radical PC and forcing the tyranny of the minority on decisions which are still in court. Outrageous! 4. It would have been nice if TigerNet had written something like "proponents of Bill 2 are trying to protect the privacy & safety of children, especially little girls" ... right after the opponent's party line: "...protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity." 5. Move the game more to "center of mass" of the conference and back to NC, so fans can more easily attend. 6. Clemson: Please tell the NCAA & ACC that a significant number of us are not happy about current PC mindset and the way they are letting it impact negatively on collegiate sports, before it has been settled in court, elections & state legislatures. - A Clemson Grad.

Please educate yourself before commenting on HB2. I find it a bit ironic Charlotte of all places is getting the most punishment for a law they thoroughly opposed, but that's life. That doesn't change that this law is terrible for any person, not just LGBT people, and was only passed through using the veil of perverts in bathrooms..

....and has said they support transgender folks using whatever bathroom they want. It gave the folks what they wanted but the NCAA and ACC had to "take a stand". Stupid. I had tickets through the Charlotte Sports Foundation. Cancelled!

Why isn't the ACC moving their offices out of Greensboro? Why aren't UNC, Duke, Wake Forest, and NC State not allowed to play in the league?

I would love to go, but I just can't swing driving to Orlando, spending the night, and then driving back to SC. I would be all over this if it was still in Charlotte...easy day trip.

Yea sorry that stadium will be half empty. Staff should of spoke up when they were moving the game and said we aren't gonna play there, good reason to cancel the game and take a break like osu.

Two things that may be causing the low ticket sales
Dec 1, 2016, 10:22 AM
|
|
1. Sports needs to get out of politics. It is hurting the NFL and I believe now the ACCCG. I never liked the ban on SC having ACC games. I am tired of it and will not help them punish NC. I may go to Charlotte for the weekend and spend my money there.
2. Last year I went on all the events and as the credit card bills hit it was time to send my IPTAY donation. And now this year I am expected to pay an additional $800 to IPTAY. There is only so much of my budget I can spend on Clemson Football. It is getting to the breaking point. Apparently the University thinks there is an endless supply of money in IPTAY donors budgets.

I'll be at the game in Orlando because I love my Tigers. But, just like most Tiger fans, it is a much longer drive for me. And I think moving the game was a huge load of BS.

Accounting of the ACC Financial Loss
Dec 1, 2016, 11:23 AM
|
|
I too had purchased tickets to the Championship game at BOA, but was refunded my money when the game was moved to Orlando. And my family and I are not able to go to Orlando this weekend.
However, I do hope it is a sellout to those in Orange and White and we bring home a win.
As an IPTAY member, I feel that the conference needs to provide each university with an accounting of the total loss that WE ALL will share from the burden of the decision by the ACC and its member schools to relocate the conference championship game from Charlotte to Orlando within only nine weeks of the game being played. And if they don't, the member schools should request this from Greensboro.

With the cheap tickets and low gas prices, i suggesred to my wife that we take a quick trip for the game. She said there was no way we were going to orlando and not doing the theme parks. That was just too much for me to make the trip.
