Are There Any Clemson Fans Out There Confident Enough To Go Ahead And Buy Tickets To This Event?

Dr Pepper ACC Football Championship
Saturday, December 2, 2006
ALLTEL Stadium, Jacksonville, Florida

You, me, USC fans, GT fans, FSU fans ....... we are all thinking the same thing. There is a really good chance that Clemson will be playing in this game in December. I know that I am thinking hard about purchasing some tickets this week before they sell out. Tickets to this game don't sell out as quick as a Pearl Jam or Metallica concert use to sell-out back in the mid to late 90's, but these tickets will still sell at a very quick rate.

You have 2 options here: A. Buy tickets to hopefully go see your Clemson Tigers make it or B. If Clemson does not make it, no big deal, you can sell them on e-bay and probably get your money back and make a profit. Let's play the "what if" game for a second. "What if" option B is off the table, how confident are you right now to go ahead and buy tickets to this game in confidence that your Clemson Tigers will be there on Dec. 2nd.

I have to admit it, I feel like we have a very strong shot to make it, but if option B was off the table, I couldn't see myself buying those tickets this early in advance because of "confidence" in Tommy Bowden. Keep in mind, I like Tommy. But for you Clemson fans out there who do have some balls the size of grapefruits, here is the link http://www.accchampionship.com . By the way, hopefully Charlotte will get the bid on this game for the next 2 years, that would be a better home for it.

If option B was taken off the table as you say, I don't think you would be making that big of a risk purchasing tickets now. I feel extremely confident that we, the Tigers will be there. I wonder if they'll bring in a lot of cruiseships for fans to spend the night in?

I have to agree with what you said about this game being in Charlotte instead of Jacksonville. The only reason to go down to Florida is because of the warm weather and the beaches. It's cold in Dec., those those two things are out. I heard the bidding war was way up there though.

Save your money! Who wants to see Miami vs Boston College?

Jacksonville would be disappointed if that were the two teams. You know BC couldn't bring many fans, and Miami.....they can't even fill up their own stadium when they're ranked #1 in the country.

I heard they did a great job hosting the super bowl the other year, so maybe j-ville is a pretty good place to have this game.

You will not make your money back if you buy these tickets and Clemson does not make it. Last year was a perfect example...Florida State vs. Virginia Tech did not even sell out.

Short of a match-up that consists of two top five teams with national championship implications, this will not be a sell-out come December. There will be seats available in the stadium.

While I think that the ACC is very close to the SEC in the quality of football, it is not even close in the pageantry. That, and geographically Jacksonville doesn't really fit all that well.
