$192.00 for a family of 4 to see a college football game?......and I thought only the pro's were pricing themselves out of the market. No wonder it isn't sold out. That's a shame.

But where is the excitement about this game among Tiger fans? Where is another 8-9,000 fans? On a Saturday afternoon? We used to put 82,000 in the stadium for Western Carolina.

I for one have had to take a week w/o pay each quarter, equalling a month less play this year, plus a salary freeze. I am going but I still consider myself blessed to be able to do so.

Tiger TC used to post the attendance stats from the 80's. They aren't quite as high as folks like to remember. As for the economy, it's a HUGE factor. Don't act like it isn't.

TDP announces all future games will be held at 12
Nov 19, 2009, 3:24 PM

After experimenting with various kickoff times over the course of the season and not finding any one time that produced a sellout crowd, all future home games in Death Valley will have a noon kickoff. TDP noted that this time allowed him to get home and finish supper in plenty of time to watch Book TV.

Yea, this time last year my son was in Afghanistan, served 15 months there, been home since 9-4 and will have to pay $24 for a ticket when he hung his Clemson flag all over FOB Fenty in Jalalabad. That's a shame.

The seats up there that are consistently empty game after game are not worth $10 ... nobody will ever pay full price for those seats unless Clemson starts to win 10-12 games per year again.
Those seats STINK!

not to mention sticking it to the people who support the program thru IPTAY and season tickets... won't disagree that $48 is a lot to pay for a ticket but you don't change prices during a season... just sets a bad precedent

I realize they can't change prices mid season, for the very reasons you stated, but they do need to consider coming down off the total cost of season tickets next season.

Nov 19, 2009, 4:48 PM

played at home, except one (FSU) are relatively small schools with smaller fan bases. Even the FSU crowd was down this year since they're struggling, the economy is terrible, and a lot of those fair-weather fans have traded in their garnet and gold for orange and blue. MTSU, CCU, Wake, TCU, and BC are all small schools, and TCU and BC are far away and don't even bring a band with them. Next year should be better since we play some better opponents at home. I'm tired of us scheduling the cupcakes like North Texas next year though.

If I was a season ticket holder, I'd be pissed if I tickets went on sale on ebay and I could have gotten them for half what i paid for them. I probably wouldn't buy the season tickets next year and save a whole lot of money.

I think it would be ok if it was a stated policy. Season ticket holders don't pay more money for tickets just so that their sure they'll have a seat. They do it to get better seats and a parking pass. Some might even do it just to support the school/team. I don't think most people would complain so long as they knew it would only be the nosebleeds that the ticket office couldn't unload.

can't afford to buy 3 tickets at $48 a pop. I'm a single dad and I just don't have $144 to spend on football. I don't mind sitting in the upper deck. However, I can afford $68. Do I have to call the ticket office or something?
