Tickets Hard to Get for Clemson Fans
Clemson Alabama? No. Clemson fans faced a tough scramble for 25 000 Gator Bowl seats tied to IPTAY status. Only IPTAY members and high contributors could buy tickets with a lottery used to allocate about 9000 student and date tickets. Faculty largely excluded unless they donated over 100 dollars. The rest would wait for a television telecast.
