If you have a $20 bill, you might be able to get two tickets for Saturday night's homecoming game against Wake Forest.

Tickets have been going for as little as $6 on the secondary market, bringing questions about what kind of crowd will be at Doak Campbell Stadium on what should otherwise be a perfect night to watch a college football game.

Why are ticket prices so low?

The Seminoles are in the midst of a four-game losing streak, a nine-game ACC losing streak, and a run of five wins over their past 19 games. Saturday's game against Wake Forest might be FSU's best chance at another win this season or the start of a turnaround, but apparently that isn't enough of a hook to make the fans head to Tallahassee.

It doesn't help with all the uncertainty surrounding the program, with Mike Norvell's future in limbo. The statement released by FSU AD Michael Alford and subsequent correspondence with select boosters suggests that he might be committed to Norvell for at least another season, which has many fans frustrated considering all the recent losses.

Taking a quick scan on X (fka Twitter) and you'll find many fans selling or offering their tickets for free.

Should the Seminoles be on upset alert?

FSU is almost a double-digit favorite, but Wake Forest is on a three-game win streak and last week the Demon Deacons knocked off defending ACC regular-season champions SMU, handing the Mustangs their first loss in the conference. 

Norvell and the rest of the FSU staff has been adamant that they expect the Seminoles to be full of energy Saturday night and ready to do the things necessary to get back in the win column. Whether those proclamations turn out to be true remains to be seen, but if there is the energy that Norvell hopes to see Saturday, it might not be from the crowd.
