FSU almost sold out season tickets

"Florida State’s ticket office is preparing for the start of college football, too.
The Seminoles have less than 300 season-tickets remaining for their six-game home schedule, while less than one thousand single-game tickets for marquee home showdowns against national championship runner-up Clemson (Oct. 29) and Florida (Nov. 26) are available for purchase.
Additionally, less than 500 single-game tickets remain for the Oct. 1 game against North Carolina for Parents’ Weekend.
Overall, Jack Chatham, FSU’s Assistant Athletic Director of Ticket Operations and Service, said the Seminoles have sold just shy of 40,000 season tickets – an improvement over last year’s mark of 38,500.
“I think season ticket holders have definitely responded well renewing their seats this year with the difference in the (priority) levels,” Chatham said Monday.
“That’s really not been a huge problem for anybody honestly. Single-game sales have been strong this year along with the special packages.”
FSU has also sold over 600 non-club three-game packages that include the UNC, Wake Forest and Boston College games along with over 400 of the Champions Club three-game packages.
Champions Club three-game packages include your choice of the Clemson or Florida ticket along with any two of the remaining four home games.
The season-ticket number includes the near 3,000 tickets sold in the new 5,000-seat Champions Club in the south end zone of Doak Campbell Stadium. The construction has replaced about 9,000 bleacher seats, reducing stadium capacity from 82,300 to about 79,000.
FSU also is selling $200 single-game tickets for the Clemson and UF games.
While those tickets only are available to FSU boosters, fans who are not boosters may purchase the premium tickets by joining Seminole Boosters, Inc. The appropriate booster membership will automatically be added to the ticket purchase.
There is not a donor fee associated with UNC single-game tickets.
Fans will have until Friday to purchase tickets for FSU’s road game against South Florida (Sept. 24) at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. Chatham said the Seminoles have sold around 5,000 tickets.
Chatham said the response for FSU’s Friday night game against Boston College on Veterans Day (Nov. 11) has been favorable.
FSU’s ticket office and marketing department have been cross-promoting the game with the concert at Doak Campbell Stadium the following night.
Tyler Farr will co-headline with Old Dominion in what is believed to be the first ticketed music concert at the stadium in at least 25 years.
FSU has not played a Friday night game at home since 1957. The ACC showdown against the Eagles Nov. 11 is being billed as “Military Night.”

Concert capacity will be between 10,000 to 12,000, with ticket prices ranging from $40 in the Champions Club to $20 in general grandstand seating.
“I think it’s going to be a fun game; there will be a lot of opportunities for families,” Chatham said. “There’s going to be a lot of events going on.”
Earlier this month, the University of Miami announced that all single-game tickets were sold out for its Oct. 8 home game against FSU.
