They say that we just made it up. Students didn’t request their allotment blah blah blah. Fake news they say.
Not kidding. I’ll pick you up. Save you $106 in parking. Tag me in this thread.
Should have given more students seats…there was demand and many were very disappointed and made other plans.
I know 6 students. 5 got tickets with no problems, and 1 never wanted a ticket.
Don’t forget the time it takes to get out of the garages.
The 5 students I know best - none got tickets…with all tne no sakes, they should have allocated more…1st time…live and learn
The students not buying tickets for a few bucks more in "their" sections doesn't help that argument. And I reject the notions that they couldn't afford the $150, or magically simultaneously came up with "something better to do" on 12/9 when cards were charged.
I disagree only because we can now lose 1-2 big regular season games and still make the playoff. Those games have been devalued.
'78 Pitt was huge. Playing for a shot at the title.
The students are gone by now. You think the students stuck around after they didn’t get tickets? Laughable
So students having plans with their family is fine but their parents having plans with those children isn't?
Students chose to attend the University, not all are necessarily big PSU football fans. But those fans who have season tickets are indeed big PSU football fans so will make more of an effort to attend these types of games.
Two of my daughters have been season ticket holders every year on campus, applied but were rejected. I am paying for them to sit with me. Not enough tickets were allocated.
Yes, and to be fair - it is a couple of days b4 Christmas, most students are long gone from campus - so you have ~3 hour + drive each way, it will be frigid, SMU stinks, and PSU continues to disappoint/underachive under Franklin.
But they still may have plans with their families that can't be changed
I wasn't buying into the student ticket conspiracy early on because all of the people I knew with students go tickets. But my daughter came home from school yesterday and she said a bunch of people she knew applied for tickets and didn't get them. So either the university lied about giving tickets to everyone that wanted them or else they had a glitch somewhere that the university wasn't aware of.
I agree the whiteout thing is lame. Noon game? Cold - half of the people wearing hunting coats. It won't be great.
Well we'll never know how many tickets Pitt can sell for a playoff game. And even if we can't mock them for attendance, there's plenty more meat on that bone.
I read that students were given the normal allotment of 21,000 but they only sold 16,000. I wonder if some students missed the deadline so those ticket were then made available to the general public.
No, students had made the deadline but still didn’t get tickets. There are tons of students saying this.
The ticket inventory and pricing are controlled by the CFP. All students who requested tickets by the Friday, Nov. 29 deadline received tickets, and no student requests were turned away prior to the Nov. 29 deadline.

This is not true. How much evidence do you need? I posted about 100 people/students saying this is a lie. I’m honestly getting tired of posting these. Gotta go, about to fly out. See you boys in SC.The ticket inventory and pricing are controlled by the CFP. All students who requested tickets by the Friday, Nov. 29 deadline received tickets, and no student requests were turned away prior to the Nov. 29 deadline.
Penn State Students Cry Foul Over CFP Student Section Tickets Being Sold to General Public
Students at Penn State are accusing the school of selling student tickets for the Nittany Lions' upcoming College Football Playoff game against Southern Methodist University to the general public in an effort to increase revenue.
Please don't justify bad behavior by pointing to worse behavior.
You can have your opinion. That doesn't make you right. It just means it's your opinion. Really glad you're excited for this game enough to be in SC. Enjoy "the biggest game in PSU history."
