Clemson football tickets haven’t been this low in years

A disappointing start to the 2021 season has Clemson football in a precarious spot as we inch towards the remaining eight games on the schedule.

Clemson currently sits at 2-2 overall following a season-opening loss to Georgia and then a road defeat to ACC Atlantic Division rival N.C. State in Raleigh this past weekend.

Though Tiger fans were able to return to Death Valley at full capacity for the first time since 2019 earlier this season, it seems the demand for attending games in-person has taken a significant hit over the past few weeks.

Now, as the Clemson football team sits on the outside-looking in for even making it to the ACC Championship, there are many Tiger fans who are looking to get rid of their tickets on the secondary market.

Clemson football tickets haven’t been this low in years

We’ve grown accustomed to looking at the secondary market ticket prices over the years just as a way of covering the Tigers and letting fans know weekly what they’ll likely pay if they’re wanting to see the game live.

I personally have never seen tickets priced this low.

Typically, you’re talking about the lowest tickets being sold on platforms like Stubhub going from somewhere in the $45-$75 range and then going up depending on the opponent.

Right now, here’s a look at the lowest-priced ticket on Stubhub for each of Clemson’s four remaining home games, including the game this weekend against an undefeated Boston College team that is designated as Homecoming:

• Boston College: $10
• Florida State: $44
• UConn: $9
• Wake Forest: $15

That’s right, Tiger fans.

If you wanted to, you could buy two tickets– albeit in the upper deck corner– for every single game remaining on the home slate right now on the secondary market for a grand total of $156 with probably an additional $60 or so in fees.

That means you could get tickets to four games– including taxes and fees– for two people for right around $55 per game, or $27.50 per ticket, which is well under face value.

Those are prices that couldn’t even be found in the Tommy Bowden era.

What does this say about the rest of the season? Right now, I would expect attendance to be a little more scarce than 80,000 strong. We could see crowds of even less than 70,000 at times the rest of the way and while some of these prices could rise if the Tigers go on a winning streak, we’d still expect tickets to be relatively low for the rest of the year.
