so are the student tickets going to be first come first serve, or are they going to be random?? please give us more information

12/4/2005 10:20:11 PM

prolly first come first serve but all student tickets will be upper level.

If you are not in the wolfpack club and ranked 1-7000, you cannot buy lower level seats through the wolfpack club. Thus would have to buy through ticketmaster to get lower level. Although if you want upper level, then buy from the wolfpack club.

12/4/2005 10:22:54 PM

if you are in the student wolfpack club, does that help your chances at all?

and i read that you can get lower level tickets...but you're saying state won't give any of those to students?

Quote :

"Tickets are available through NC State's athletic ticket office. Upper level seats are $30 and are available for all patrons, lower level sweats are $55 for Wolfpack Club members ranked 1-7000 and club level seats are $75 for members ranked 1-1000. NC State students will be able to purchase upper level seats at a discount beginning Monday morning on the gopack.com site. NC State faculty members will also be able to receive a discount."

from gopack.com

The way I read it is:

If you want to buy lower level tickets through athletics, you have to have a rank of 1-7000 in the Wolfpack Club. Otherwise, you will have to go through ticketmaster.

Student tickets will be sold at a discount, prolly like 20 ish? I don't remember what they were last bowl we went to. They will be upper level. The advantage of buying student tickets through athletics is that they are cheaper and they try to put all the students together. Although that is kinda pointless since they are so far away from the field.

that sucks we cant get lower level

12/4/2005 11:18:51 PM

Anyone see this from cfbnews.com

23. Meineke Car Care Bowl, Dec. 31, 11 am ET ESPN2 … NC State vs. South Florida
South Florida is a program on the rise, has had a great season, and will be sure to play hard in its first bowl game, but NC State’s defense will be too much for the Bull offense to overcome. However, the Wolfpack is the bowl season’s flakiest team and might not show up.
Stars of the show: 1) Mario Williams, DE NC State, 2) Andre Hall, RB South Florida
The knee jerk, off-the-cuff, initial prediction: South Florida 17 … NC State 9

I don't agree with him at all on the score prediction
I'd predict NCSU 21 South Florida 10

I agree. Let's just hope that we show up.

12/5/2005 9:02:40 AM

Chuck seems to have knack for bowl preparation. USF is playing in their first ever bowl. That advantage alone should be enough to win.

good addition to a thread you fuckwad

12/5/2005 10:27:02 AM

next year is going to be a national championship type year

just like River's senior year

12/5/2005 10:38:17 AM

how ya figure that? for river's senior year we had a returning good offense and a unexperienced defense.

next year, half the Dline will be new and about half the secondary new. The only good spot on offense right now is RB. And we lose 3(?) seniors on a already shakey Oline.

12/5/2005 11:26:39 AM

yeah, and our defense won't look too much better. here's to praying that we miraculously pull something together between now and next fall.

12/5/2005 11:32:06 AM

^^ i dont know about half the secondary


hudson is gone, heath is back, aj davis is back, miguel scott is back, dejuan morgan is back, jimmie sutton is back, i dont see that at all

12/5/2005 11:36:23 AM

Secondary will be alright, although we'll miss Hudson on some big plays...

D-line's going to suffer, but maybe we'll pull something together.

12/5/2005 11:49:41 AM

!!!!!! I just got my ticket !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

12/5/2005 12:37:31 PM

"hudson is gone"

yup, like i said . . . half the secondary is gone


nah . . . I know we have some good people back there. Heath, Morgan, Scott are all good at safety. And I think Bobby Washington can be very good there too. He is very fast and very athletic. Pretty strong too, so I would imagine he could lay some licks. AJ can play very good, but he normally doesn't. We'll have to see how the other CB's step up and fill Hudson's spot.

I said half the Dline will be gone, but I don't think it will be all that bad. Should be very strong at DT. Return Tank, Demario, and McCargo. I don't know much about most of the the other DE's. gopack.com shows returning DE's to be: Quentin Brown, Matt Kushner, Littleton Wright, and Willie Young. Maybe we can pick up some big recruit.

Should be good at LB. Tulloch, Lowery, LeRue Rumph, some other.


I see us as being mediocre like normal, but people could step up and we could do well. By well, I mean better than 4th in conference. Very good would be conf. champ. No point in even talking about NC or anything close.

12/5/2005 1:28:01 PM

Anyone know who is the home team? I'm assuming its USF, considering we have the same overall but they have a better conference record than us.

12/14/2005 1:57:33 PM

it doesn't go by record or better team. It flip flops conferences. I believe unc was home last year so USF should be home this year.

12/14/2005 1:58:52 PM

I heard a rumor this week that ticket sales were nothing like State expected. We had only sold like 12000 tickets coming into this week. Just wondering if anyone else had heard that?

12/14/2005 3:09:04 PM

the WPC ticket office has sold 22k.
A lot of people are pissed at the WPC and ordered through Ticketmaster instead.

Total sales (WPC, USF, Ticketmaster, etc) so far are approaching 50k.

12/14/2005 3:41:13 PM

were the visiting team this year

12/14/2005 3:50:44 PM

If you look on the official website it says that our corporate packs are sold out and the fan packs are sold out. They might still have general admission tickets, but i dunno. So tickets are selling pretty well I'd say.

thats what happens when you give a certain group of people a monopoly over a certain kind of tickets.

Granted if they did it first come first serve, then all the big donors would be pissy if they didn't get good seats. And you know how those geriatric types are when they get pissy.

12/14/2005 4:44:53 PM

Alright so we've sold 21,000. Ya think we can get to the magic number?

Quote :

"BOWL TICKET SALES UPDATE: N.C. State has sold more than 21,000 tickets for the Dec. 31 Meineke Car Car Bowl game against South Florida, NCSU assistant athletics director Dick Christy said Friday. The priority deadline for tickets was Thursday, but State will continue to process ticket orders on a first-come, first-order basis. Few, if any, club or lower-level seats are still available for purchase through the State ticket office. Tickets also may be ordered through Ticketmaster. State is encouraging fans to pick up ordered tickets at area will-call locations before heading to Charlotte for the game. Tickets may be picked up before Dec. 30 at the following locations: * Dec. 27-29, the Vaughn Towers Ticket Office, located on Carter-Finley Stadium's west concourse, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. * Dec. 28, RBC Center, 6 p.m. until halftime of the N.C. State-New Hampshire basketball game * Dec. 30, the Vaughn Towers Ticket Office, 8:30 a.m. to noon."

12/17/2005 10:37:14 PM

So I am trying to get 4 $30.00 Upper level tix on the North ACC side and Ticketmaster says its a no go. Does anybody know for sure if there are any more going to be available, or what would be the best plan of action, I graduated last year and live in charlotte and want Upper Level tix four of them on the State side.

12/26/2005 11:49:52 AM

Got my tickets.

Section 131, row 12, seats 1-6

Score.

12/26/2005 12:21:03 PM

usf 27
ncsu 13

usf beat louisville, louisville dropped 60+ on unc, unc beat state....if you want to think of it like that

12/26/2005 3:20:09 PM

Imagine that, an ezu fan picking the other team to win.

12/26/2005 3:21:58 PM

i do not attend ecu, nor am i affiliated with teh university anymore, i dont even live in nc anymore, so suck on that one


ps. its not like i even mentioned the fact that state doesnt deserve to be in a bowl game, but im sure you already knew that

pss. fire chuck

[Edited on December 26, 2005 at 3:25 PM. Reason : yea]

12/26/2005 3:23:27 PM

It's easy to jump off the bandwagon when your team consistently sucks. If ezu won 8 games they wouldn't deserve a bowl game considering the crappy conference they're in, so suck on that one.

12/26/2005 3:27:10 PM

whoever has got tix, what are your sections so I can make sure that i am on the right side, i just got off the hone with the Ticketmaster people and they sucked. They kept on trying to give me tix in section 537 and that does not jive with the stadium seating chart.. Are we home or away? Or does it?

"ezu" went 5-6 and didnt play any eku's or mtsu, so swallow that one

12/26/2005 3:42:58 PM

^What's funny about that is Middle Tennessee could give ECU a game, hell possibly beat them. MTSU is better than Duke whom ECU BARELY beat.

12/26/2005 3:49:48 PM

You're right, ezu not only didn't play MTSU (who upset Vanderbilt) or EKU but rather played teams that were a lot worse. ezu's 5 wins came against teams that finished 1-10 (Duke and Rice), 4-7 (Marshall) and 5-6 (SMU and UAB).

Wow, that's a real murderer's row there. Millbrook HS would have gone 6-5 with ezu's weak ass schedule. ezu can even take the real dumbasses who can't even get a qualifying GPA or SAT score out of HS and still can't win. Hilarious!

12/26/2005 4:08:13 PM

so how many did state send to hargrave?

and that TA guy was one smart guy and you were probably licking his nutsweat for the years he was here

12/26/2005 7:25:54 PM

They get sent to Hargrave to qualify. If they don't qualify after that then they go to reject schools like ezu like brandon setzer had to.

12/26/2005 7:54:41 PM

so whats your excuse for TA? HMMM?

12/26/2005 8:36:06 PM

He qualified so WTF is your point?

just go and buy your tickets from the NC State Ticket office if you just want upper level seats.

12/27/2005 12:50:00 AM

so i went and got my tickets this morning at carter finley and i came home and looked at the seating chart and it says that 519 is on the big east sideline side....is this where the student sections are going to be, or was this just random placing?

12/27/2005 9:23:45 AM

USF also always plays at Raymond James stadium in Tampa. I was at the Louisville game last fall. The fact that they're used to playing there may help them out. Then again, it's also quite cold for us up here...

^^^Do you really think USF is going to fill half the stadium? The "Big East" side should be at least 50% Pack fans.

12/27/2005 10:45:51 AM

no i dont think so but it makes no sense to put the students all the way over there..i went back to the ticket place and the guy told me that all the students were on that side...oh well...

12/27/2005 10:49:08 AM

Are all the student tickets gone?

12/27/2005 10:58:06 AM

Students get what's left after the WPC allocates tickets to everyone else. This is not news.
