The home slate for Louisville this year is Notre Dame, EKU, BC, CU, UVa, and Syracuse. Even the dog represents a chance for folks living in the hollers to come to the big town.
The home slate for FSU is Louisiana-Monroe, Louisville, NC State, Syracuse, Miami and Alabama State.
The home slate for NC State is East Carolina, Western Carolina, Ball State, Clemson, Louisville, UNC, and Syracuse.
FSU has fought soft ticket sales for the last several years. NC State will sell out the worst games but with two games already scheduled against Clemson and FSU, NC State doesn't always schedule another marquee home game.

They lowered season ticket prices for a lot of the packages, so I guess they're making up for it elsewhere. Does that include fees? I believe the highest face value ticket in the entire stadium is $55.

That cannot possibly be right. You have boxes right?

Yes, but the face value of the tickets aren't higher, you just have to pay additional for the suites. The average price per ticket is obviously higher once you factor in suite fees, donations, etc, but the face value remains. I'm talking about the tickets themselves. My seats are on the 40 yard line in the lower bowl and I pay $54 per ticket (plus donation).

It is what SU is charging the fan who wants to buy through them. That is the price of the ticket alone.

Be happy. It costs a visiting SEC school $85 at the majority of our venues. It's slightly cheaper in Mississippi. And those are the cheap seats.

Mark,
Where did you get the prices?
Just looked at Vivid and seats are listed for less than $10.

I learned a long time ago. Never buy road tickets from my university ticket office. I get my tickets from the university we are visiting or a third party.
When we went to South Bend, UofL wanted $90.00 a ticket. I got them from Notre Dame for $48.00. Matter of fact I still get calls and emails from Notre Dame about football season tickets.
I bet if you called the UofL ticket office direct at 1-800-633-7105 or 502-852-5151, you’ll get them cheaper. Especially if you are looking at bringing a group. Good luck

Figure everyone who handles those tickets will mark up the price...

Trust me...the group going is going through Louisville. We have the lot near Wagner already set up. I'm not running it but I expect group rate on the tickets to be around $25-30. If I go will be a late decision...bad weekend for me.
