look down at us and think they are so much better just because of their decade plus run in the ACC. It took all the hype in the last week to sell this one out.
We had a team beating good football teams for a long time while FSU was still a woman's collge. Sorry but true Noles fans. We have more tradition and championships than you do in this league. We are not Duke or Wake Forest.
GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The tickets I bought on Stubhub 2 weeks ago were actually sold by Florida State. So they can thank the Nole fans all they want, but I'm guessing a lot of the credit goes to the Clemson fans.

This is funny considering Clemson didnt sell out the visitor section. You cant talk about being the best fan base and not have enough fans come down for the biggest game of the regular season. Your school requested less than the full allotment of vistitor tickets and then act like its a big deal when that gets sold out yet FSU has to make up for your fans not holding up their end and has to buy up the rest of the visitor section.

Fl. It's an 8 hour drive for most clemson fans. like the poster above said, we were full for furman and it looked like yall had half a stadium for a conference game against a team that has beaten you more times than not in the last few years.
Just give it up.

FSU was selling tickets on Stubhub. I bought tickets in Section 10, right behind the Clemson bench. The tickets were delivered electronically by the seller. The seller was Florida State.
Giving the choice of sitting in the "Visitors Section" or on the 50 yard line behind my team, I chose the 50 yard line. No doubt, many other Clemson fans did the same.
The real fact is that FSU has had trouble selling tickets for nearly 10 years. There's no way of spinning a sellout only a few days before the game other than FSU fans having little interest in their team. You may be a super-fan... but FSU as a whole doesn't seem to have as many folks like you as does Clemson.

You did not buy your tickets from FSU.
The tickets FSU has been selling are in the corner, with the CU fans, as they were tickets CU returned.

Kind of a pointless argument.....BOTH these schools

have a well-earned reputation for putting big crowds in a big stadium and especially for travelling well to away games. In fact, other than VaTech, there's not another school in the ACC who brings the kind of numbers to away games that FlaSt and Clemson bring......and both the 'Noles and Tigers have bigger home stadiums than VaTech.
There's no question that FlaSt and Clemson carry the football fanhood banners for the entire ACC

Big stadiums are getting harder to fill across the board

I would think the two main factors are what is often thrown out there: big High def TV's, and the cost .

and ticket costs and booster club fees will only get higher in the years to come.....not to mention concession costs, parking fees (for those who don't get parking passes), gasoline, hotels, etc, etc.

Here's the text from the email w/ my tickets

I purchased these tickets on Stubhub.com.
"Attached please find the Print-At-Home tickets you recently purchased from the Florida State Athletics Ticket Office. Please print these tickets on any standard 8 1/2 x 11 paper and bring them to the event. Each ticket is individually bar coded and required for admission. If your tickets are lost or damaged please call the Athletic Ticket Office at 1.888.FSU.NOLE or 1.888.378.6653 so that your tickets may be reprinted. Note to purchaser: Treat these tickets as you would any other ticket. Do not attempt to duplicate or alter the ticket(s). Please Note: Adobe Acrobat Reader version 4 or higher is required. Go to http://www.adobe.com to download your free copy of the software if you don't already have it. Go 'Noles!"
So you tell me... Does that appear to you that FSU is selling tickets on Stubhub.com? Looks that way to me.

The email containing the tickets were sent to me from ticketoffice@seminoles.com.
Again, purchased on Stubhub.com
To me, the proof will be all of the Clemson orange in the stands outside of the allocated visitor seating in the corner of the endzone.
That FSU is selling tickets on stubhub, especially excellent seats on the 50 indicates that they have very poor season ticket sales.

FSU is partnered with Stubhub. I guess what you got is what it looks like when a booster sells his tickets electronically. i assume you paid over face. FSU would not do that.
Those are some booster's season tix. That area has no empty seats.

Most fans I know buy tickets elsewhere to get better seats. Nobody wants the crappy visitor section when we can sit in your good seats and watch you get beat from a better perspective.

remaining allotment. Which is what was reported on Clemsontigers.com. That clemson sold out the allotment. Was that after we sent back 3-4k? Or is that an FSU rumor? We sold all of the allotted tickets from FSU, which is what? 7-8k?

around 3,000 tix last week. That's how one of the FSU ath dept twitter accounts spun it.
We will have a good crowd, but I think the bowl game and Auburn game really made it tough for a lot of fans who usually travel regularly.
