What's with FSU ticket sales?

[Triple B]

I'm more disappointed in FSU fans than anything .... If this was the inbreds up I75, it would have been sold out weeks ago.

Joe, the cheapest ticket available to the general public is 85.00 for an upper deck seat (not between the 20 yd lines) Plus a $10.20 service fee for $95.20 total.   For a family of four that's $380.80.

 

Biggest game at home in our program's history. That's an excuse for NIU or Cincy.

They had Ole Miss in Orlando. I'll give them a break.

That would be WVU 2007 .... if this was comparable, it'd be sold out.

No. We were selling $15 upper bowl tickets to that game to fill the venue, and no one knew that game was big until the week of.

This game...In state, top 5 team. The Big 12 openly expanding on the horizon. Much bigger in the big picture.

Our school probably did this pricing because they thought it would sell out regardless, and the venue was filled a few years ago for FSU...

Alumni needs to step up.

Yup, many times this. Alumni and the general public (preferably tangential fans of USF) need to step up. The more that these tickets are floating out there, the more I think we'll be outnumbered at our own stadium for this game. If it's the biggest game in our history, I was expecting a close 50/50 split in attendance. I'm rational enough not to expect an overwhelming attendance of those in green, considering our season ticket holders' propensity to sell their seats during "in-demand" games.

On top of my 2 season tickets, I've purchased 10 extra tickets to this game on behalf of other Alumni. Additionally, I will likely be purchasing 6-8 more on Sunday when I hear back from friends at work who are thinking about attending.

Exactly. So let's wait and see where both teams come in ranked at before the "biggest home game ever stuff". If USF spanks Cuse enough to break the top 20 and FSU handles L'ville it will be a similar type situation, except we had a bigger run up to the WVU game than to this one. The Big 12 crap is, in reality, pretty much a non-factor when trying to force the biggest home game moniker on it ...... except to hand wringing fans who love to fret over stuff like this. I do think that USF effed up with the 3rd level tix at $85. I think that's even more than a Bucs' game ...... What were they priced at in 2012?

As was mentioned, the option is available to get a lower level seat for $139 plus tickets to 2 other games. Comes out to $43 a game which is very reasonable. I understand it tough if you have a family, but that stands true for almost all college venues. Let's not act like USF sold us out and said, $85 upper deck or beat it. There are reasonable options available
