I've been asking USF for season ticket numbers for a while. They aren't disclosing anything right now.

Must be bad.

I beg to differ.

Ok, then what is the answer?

[BullyPulpit]

Let me clarify the FSU group ticket issue that has been discussed. I have a close friend who purchased over 50. They went for $80 each and included ANY additional game for this season, not just UT Chattanooga. His group opted to go with the UCONN game as FSU has a bye that week. They are a group of Tampa Noles, and a lot of them are actually planning on attending the UCONN game.

With that being said, this was a horrible idea by our ticket department. First, the right of first refusal should have been given to existing season tickets holders. Then, and only then, they should have just forced the FSU fans to purchase season tickets or upper bowl seats. The lower bowl is going to be full of Noles now, especially in the corners of the endzones.

Yeah... I'm pretty sure it's going to be at best 60-40 Noles fans... could be closer to 70-30 the way they're selling swaths of tickets. The corporate STH's on the sidelines are more than likely going to be FSU that weekend and in the South endzone is going to just be ugly...

Only 30% USF fans? Hard to think only 19k USF fans would show, especially with the student section being around 12k (take a few out for their FSU friends...)

I really don't get that break down. 60-40 USF

Very disappointing that season ticket holders did not get first right.

We always go through this every summer. The number usually comes out in August. I'd have a difficult time believing that sales are not ahead, especially with FSU on the schedule.

I'm sure they are holding better seats for the season ticket holder purchase.

that's what I'm saying, they FSU fans are getting tix in the top level, to get tix in the lower level you need to have the high donation season tix

Not true. There was a post on here with a picture of the tickets that an FSU fan bought and they were not in the upper level. Why is it so hard for some of you to believe this?

That's not the point.

The issue is that FSU was offered before season ticket holders.
What if all season tixket holders decided to buy large amounts (I know its a fantasy situation, but still possible)
They would then need to limit the amount of tickets that USF holders are entitled to, because of the # of tickets already sold to FSU fanes... rather than it being the other way around AS IT SHOULD BE.

My friend at FSU sent me a question about tickets to this game yesterday. Says he has a few fraternity brothers just paying the $150 for the season ticket. Those are STUDENTS doing that.... I don't want to think about the boosters. It's 2 months from the game and their students are planning this far ahead. ****, I doubt half of our student body knows we are playing them this year, let alone in Tampa.

This one will be ugly my friends.

[crambone]

It looks like we may be outnumbered

[mviusa]

The AD doesn't seem to give a crap about USF fans. I was going to buy the 4 extra tickets they promised, but if they offer them now, they can stick up where the sun don't shine.

so here's confirmation! The ones you saw may have been in the lower bowl team allotment

John Lewis who works in the ticket office just tweeted this to a fan

The $150 are south endzone and upper deck only. If our fans (even casual fans that want to get into this game) aren't scooping these up, then shame on us. Can't blame our ticket department or FSU fans for that.

Just spoke to John Lewis. We will get an email in the second half of August to buy FSU tickets before they are sold to the public. He also stated that season ticket sales should definitely surpass last year.

^{My buddy, a filthy Nole, just received his 50 tickets for the game in Section 232. Apparently, they are making you buy a ticket to another game this season to get them in the group packages. The tickets came to $80 for both games.}



MY COMMENTS:
Unless those tickets are forged they are a HUGE stack of tickets in section 232, not 332. They are not from FSU, the season tickets holders still don't know if they'll even get tickets.

232 is part of the visiting allotment along with 132 so this makes total sense. That's where the visiting fans sit every game I went too when I still attended USF. I doubt it changed
