Excitement building! FSU football sees significant rise in season ticket sales

FSU's overall renewal rate of 92% is the second highest since the 95% renewal rate in 2014

Florida State football fans are excited about the program's future.

Four months after watching their Seminoles clinch their first 10-win season since 2016, fans have purchased more than 31,000 season tickets for 2023.

That includes renewals and more than 4,000 new season tickets.

It also represents an increase of nearly 3,000 season tickets sold (28,750) last season.

Momentum is expected to continue with the start of college football still four months away.

"We have seen a huge increase in demand for season tickets for the upcoming 2023 season," Jack Chatham, assistant athletics director of Ticket Operations and Service, told the Democrat.

"As of now we have sold 31,118 season tickets overall. This represents a 92% renewal rate in the main seating bowl and a 95% renewal rate in the Dunlap Champions Club. Of note, we have sold more season tickets in the main bowl than in the previous year for the first time since 2014.”

FSU, which held its Spring Showcase April 15, opens its season against LSU in Orlando Sept. 3 on national television.

Breaking down season-ticket renewals and sales

FSU's current season-ticket sales breakdown of 31,118 features:

25,282 in the stadium's main bowl;

3,037 in the Dunlap Champions Club;

199 in Section 120 (south end zone)

2,600 (including internal needs) in stadium suites.

FSU's overall renewal rate of 92% is the second highest since the 95% renewal rate in 2014 following the program's national championship season under Jimbo Fisher.

Seminole Boosters, Inc., closed its priority deadline for members to renew their season tickets and parking passes April 18. However, season tickets/parking passes for 2023 remain on sale.

FSU sold close to 35,000 season tickets for coach Willie Taggart's debut in 2018.

As of the deadline last week for season ticket renewal we finished with 30,500 total season tickets sold, approximately 26,500 renewal and 4,000 new season tickets sold for a 93% renewal rate. Since 2009 this is our 2nd highest renewal rate, 1st was 2014 season at 95% (coming off national championship, preseason #1, Notre Dame on schedule). 3rd highest was 2011 at 91% with Oklahoma on schedule.

The 30,500 sold is 2,000 sold over all of last year and its only April.
