Florida State Fans Don’t Want To Buy Tickets To Rose Bowl

The Rose Bowl will feature Florida State and Oregon going head-to-head, but you’d be hard pressed to convince Seminoles fans to make the trip, as the school hasn’t yet sold it’s 12,500 ticket allotment yet.

For the first time in the history of the Rose Bowl, the game has yet o sell out and will need the help of the public to make sure that all of the tickets are sold.

We can all thank the Florida State Seminoles for this, as the team has yet to sell their allotted 12,500 tickets and probably won’t fulfill that requirement before the game kicks off on January 1st.

As reported by Stewart Mandel of FoxSports.com, Florida State hasn’t yet sold all of their 12,500 tickets they set aside for the Rose Bowl, meaning we could see the first College Football Playoff game played in front of a less than capacity crowd.

Rose Bowl chief administrative officer Kevin Ash told Mandel:

"“In a regular Rose Bowl we’re a contractual sellout. It’s the first time we’ve ever had to create a public sale, to go out and market tickets and sell tickets in the public sector … whereas the typical Rose Bowl, our partners took up two-thirds of the stadium.”"

As if we all needed another reason to hate Florida State this season. Not only do they have Jameis Winston shouting from the tops of tables on campus, but they can’t even hold up their end of ticket sales for what is the biggest game of their season so far. Florida State dropped to No. 3 in the country in the Playoffs, but this is for a trip to the National Championship game — which is a game you’d think fans would want to see.

Then again, perhaps everyone is saving up so they can buy a National Championship ticket, as students not wanting to pay the travel costs for two playoff games may be an unforeseen kink in this playoff format.
