From a Clemson Student


Apr 12, 2016, 3:07 PM

I'm currently a student at Clemson and the fact the people are outraged about the new ticketing plan does not make sense to me. It's simply capitalism. There are students willing to pay for season tickets; however, that does not necessarily mean the only way to sit in the lower bowl is to pay $225. This is just a way to guarantee students that they will have a seat for every game. I have had friends who missed going to the Notre Dame game because they were unable to sign up for tickets at 12:00 on Sunday. Radakovich is not 'exploiting' the students. The truth of the matter is that the Athletic Department, especially the football team, not only generates money for the school but also gives the University itself recognition as an academic institution. A lot of people would not come to Clemson if we were not a football school. I do think that the athletic department could have done a better job releasing the new plan, but why on earth is a petition going around saying "The school is MAKING us pay for football tickets"? Had the University hiked tuition by $225 (therefore making students pay) there would not be this much backlash, but no one is forcing anyone to pay any extra money. It's simply allowing those willing to pay extra for seats to do so.
