We got there 10 minutes before tip off to a line of students stretching almost to the street. None of them got turned away. It’s first come first serve, and they were still letting students in even when the student section was full. To get a ticket at Virginia Tech: students either had to buy season tickets for $150 (most don’t) or you have to enter the lottery for a game. This alone reduces interest, there is ZERO reasoning for why our basketball games can’t have an increased student section when attendance is going to be low, and they KNOW it will be low. I’ll also note: I have been to 5 games in LittleJohn in the last couple of years, this has happened twice. Regardless, the frequency of them using this system is irrelevant to my main points. Greenville and Clemson are about a 40 minute drive from one another, roughly. Roanoke and Blacksburg are about 45 minutes apart. Of course, Greenville is much bigger, but Cassell and LJC both only hold about 9,000 anyway. It’s definitely a comparable situation and honestly more embarrassing considering we are abt 10,000 students larger than Clemson. No reason we can’t get 3,000 students in there every night, other than they currently aren’t even allotted that many tickets, despite Cassel regularly failing to fill 60% capacity.
