Clemson ticket sales at the moment.

[Chris02M]

the time could come out Saturday night following the acc games

not completely comparable, but I had Atlanta Thrashers tickets for 4 years. you get to know the core group of ticket holders around you. by the fourth year, it was very clear that a large share of our section was made up of folks who got deals/giveaways. we really felt like suckers, overpaying by probably 50%+ what we could get our seats for. finally didn't renew and would use stubhub to get tix to any game i wanted for about 1/10th face value. they left town about 3 years later. if there's not demand, there needs to be some incremental value of being a season ticket holder.

I had season tickets at SU from the year after I graduated (1996) through the 2003 season. The biggest reason I gave them up (and my entire block of 11 did) was because life circumstances changed and it wasn't feasible to drive 5+ hours six times each fall for games. But a lesser reason was that there was no demand for tickets. I *knew* that if i wanted to go to 1-2 games a year I'd never, ever have a problem finding seats.

I honestly think they built the Carrier Dome 10,000 seats too big.

That being said, I wasn't in a preferred section but I never really cared if they were running a promotion and the guy near me paid less than I did.

The pricing structure for the Dome is totally insane though. Are there really face value tix for Clemson for $150?! I mean, the highest face value, non-club seat ticket for the Patriots is $185!

1st - 545
2nd - 996
3rd - 4,274


This equates to 43,435 sold.

It is showing that a lot of tickets sold today. Is it time to start getting excited? 'Cuz I'm getting pretty pumped. Maybe people got paid today and bought up some tickets or the box office decided to block off some more. I don't know, but they are scattered on the third level so it leads me to believe people bought some.

I'm sure this has been pointed out but most times people try to estimate attendance based on this kind of Ticketmaster math they're off by 10K.

That being said, I can't see this game not getting at least 45K in the building.

Yea, I've been watching it for a long time. I could be way off but I'll be interested to see. I kind of have an idea of where they have been opening blocked off sections because I have been watching closely.

Just wondering... How many away games have you been to in order to make that judgement?

Im a local, nit an alumni and I've been to Michigan, Tennessee, byu, Washington, Virginia, north western, North Carolina, Rutgers, south Florida, Tulane, and Notre dame. IMO, I'd say we travel pretty well for a small, private school from the northeast.

And I happen to know a Clemson fan that lives in Syracuse. It's usually not wise to speak in such absolutes.

You must be new to the area, or are just not that bright. We do not have a good fan base, especially when it comes to traveling. The fans we have at away games typically live near there. No one that roots for Clemson lives in syracuse LOL.

This is no secret to anyone. We have die hards, sure, but our students and the community as a whole is all about basketball.

its ok that you have your opinion, we are all entitled to one. But man are you way off on this one LOL.

Does anyone really ask those seated around them whether they have season tickets or how much they shelled out to buy that game's ticket? I know I don't. I could care less. I care about my seat. If I look around and the joint is full, I'm happy. Don't care how they do it or what price they charge. If you think you can get a better deal by waiting for the season to start and buy individual tickets, then have at it. But you risk losing the seat you like. It's called supply and demand.

I could not agree more.

 

[rrlbees]

I know that they did it vs Minnesota (marrones 1st home game)

Not sure about that. I thought all tix were the same price that year and the following season they started the addition of the donation when the number of donors kept decreasing.

It's going to be interesting to see how many tickets are sold by Monday night once everyone finds out the start time. I am still holding out hope for an 8:00 kickoff so we have a drunk and rowdy student section!!!!

I never dreamed that the upper deck middle seats were $150 when the seats 10-15 yds over were $50 until this ticket master thing came about.. if they were priced better the would sell more no doubt.

wow $150 a ticket i didn't know it was that bad?? you would think anyone in the box office with the slightest amount of common sense would figure out the pricing structure needs a major overhaul. there is no way people are shelling out that much.

does anyone know how many of these preferred seats there are?

As we get closer to the game you will be surprised at just how many of those seats will be bought and filled by the time kickoff is signaled.

 

[nocoffee]

I agree, it's usually pretty empty in my area in 319...I looked up the prices for single game tickets and they are $150 each. Not many people willing to fork over that kind of cash.

I'm a fellow 319er. Lots of room at Tulane game. Liked the little kids screaming. They are the future and got to see the Orange do well.

 

[upperdeck]

here is what they should do.. what ever section you buy season tickets for you get some kind of dibs to buy extra seats in unsold areas after the season tickets are released. the more you pay up front the better seats you can buy later at a reduced rate. now you have rewarded the long time or multi seat buyers with a special incentive.

now those people have a reason to pay the upfront cost but can also have first shot at those prime locations and they have the choice of letting them go to others at reduced rates if they pass on the games.

 

[CuseOnly]

The time will not come out until Sunday. It has already been announced. it has NOTHING to do with Syracuse University, the Syracuse AD, nor the Syracuse marketing department.

Please, no more complaints about it. Feel honored that TV cares enough about this game for it to be up in the air for the best slots.

First off, I wasn't complaining about anything just showing an ad for the game. I am fully aware that the tiem will not be announced until Sunday most likely and have no problem with it whatsoever. I will be at the game regardless of what time it is played as I am at every game.

Secondly, if I want to complain about something, I will whether you like it or not. K, Thanks.

Are you the arbiter of complaining worthiness? That is for OttoInGrotto to decide.

this is a great idea if feasible. so much easier to invite people to the game if you can get tix in the same section.

Interesting point. I wonder if I wouldn't have cared either if 6 games for a pretty low number vs 20 something hockey games that I got.

 

[Chris02M]

I just did a count I came up with 5994 seats available on ticketmaster for the game(math could be off a few here and there)

And that doesn't count hold backs...realistically I think we are at 42k sold right now...my guess is 46k at kickoff...hope I'm low.

Regardless will be one of the best game day crowds in 10-12 years.

Do you know what the attendance was for WVU in 2011? i remember it looking good and sounding good on television but not sure on the number. thought it was like 45k.

What tickets might they be holding back at this point? Just curious because the Wake seating chart is wide open by comparison.

They have many sections set aside for Clemson. Will they sell out their sections? Also, things like Empower.

Curious how many tickets that might be. Also, does anyone actually sit in the tops family section?

 

[Orange Rust Belt]

The most people I have seen at a game in recent memory was the Minnesota game where Eric Decker dominated us. It was the Marrone home opener and Paulus debut. At times it was deafening and made me wish that we could average around 45k for ACC games.

I honestly believe that a close to filled dome would be arguably the best home field advantage in the conference.

That's another holdback...I imagine it will be full though if we get a 3:30pm kickoff...most of the kid's activities will be over by then so parents can get their kids to the game.

I was going to say, I don't think I have every seen more than 10 ppl in that section.
