Then you are going to waiting a long time.

They have not gone on sale yet :-/! Incorrect! They went on sale a few weeks ago (1 800-GoBulls)....$30.00 ea. they will be mailed out as soon as USF receives them from UCF. I know message boarders think they know everythig, but they don't. I just bought my season tickets July 28th and inquired about the UCF game. I was told it will not go on sale until mid to late August. Just want to put you on. Apparantly YOU are one of those message boarders who thinks he knows everything, but doesn't. My credit card was charged for the UCF tickets right after I odered them from the USF Athletic Dept, as were the tickets for other road games I ordered (seperate invoices).

I haven't received mine yet.

That's terrible...thankfully you and your wife and children are ok...sorry to hear that your cats weren't as fortunate. Best of luck.

I got that figure from a reliable source... a current USF document. Off the top of my head it was 22,000 Full time students (12 Hrs min) , (approx 1,000 from out of state, and approx 1000 foreign students.) As I recall it said there are 7,000 graduate students

Stan Hixon is a coach with the Washington Redskins.

Could it just be that they really don't care that much about football?

My point is if they really wanted to go to the games cost of the tickets really isn't going to stop them.....they don't have to become a donor until they can afford it, they don't have to sit in the best seats until they can afford them....many will piss away more than the cost of tickets at the local watering hole. There are cheap seats that are equal to or better than the seats they had as students....that's better than what they could get at other schools.....ask a Notre Dame grad how they go about getting football tickets after they graduate.

The number of full time students is approximately 22,000 and is almost entirely made up of students who are residents of Florida The university is what it is today because of the solid foundation that John Allen built, and the growth of the states population. While football adds to the atmosphere of the school it isn't as important to the growth of the university as you seem to believe. Just my $.02 worth.

Correct me if I am wrong, but a college graduate usually needs to get a JOB and establish themselves before they can consider buying season tickets. This is my first year as a season ticket holder. I am a graduate of the Class of '03, but I went on to law school and now I am FINALLY in a position where I could buy season tickets. I think that this is the case for many recent graduates; need to start a family/career/finish schooling before buying those tix. Season tickets start at just $119. If what you say is on the mark...then the classes of 01, '02 and '03 aren't exactly knocking the doors down either. Remember to buy season tickets you also must give a donation. Also, let's presume that those people might want a companion ticket. SO, double that cost, add a $100 donation, and then you're getting the effect. Now, tell someone that's making say $40k, with a car payment, insurance, apartment, utilities, and [highlight]entertainment [/highlight]and misc. living expenses to insure they carve out roughly $350 [highlight]plus service charges, and tax.[/highlight] Bring your total to over $375 minimum for what's undoubtly the worst seats in the house. That's a car payment, a rent payment, etc. That's a person that's roughly making $1,200 every two weeks and the expenses I mentioned above, presuming they try to live comfortably, will be minimally $1,800, before weekly [highlight]entertainment,[/highlight] groceries, gas, clothes, etc. It isn't that easy. Oh, and don't forget your alumni association dues, and....it all adds up. Excuse me but, I believe you are wrong...there isn't any donation required to purchase season tickets for $119 each. If a college grad making $40 grand can't afford $119 a year for ($238 for a pair) seats (Entertainment)...they have a serious problem. I don't know where you get your tickets (maybe you don't have them), but the "service''/handling fee on my season tickets is only $5/account and there isn't any tax added to the price of the tickets.

Where did you read that? He said he expected to exceed 2005's total. Whether that's one tix more or 2000 more it remains to be seen. Actually something people forgot to mention that when practice started last year season tickets sold were around 15,000. I've heard that as the season draws near they always get a last minute surge from fan interest, and last minute purchasers. The fact we're already well over 16,000 tells me that 17,000 is highly likely (although my contact had told me the other day we were close to 17,000- :-X), and who knows, 18,000 or close to it could be an outside possibility. Mr Louk doesn't seem to agree with you. According to Mr Louk there was a slight drop in ticket sales from 2004 to 2005. Where did you read that? He said he expected to exceed 2005's total. Whether that's one tix more or 2000 more it remains to be seen. The Tampa Tribune.. it's been quoted a number of times on this thread already.
