COLUMBIA, S.C. – Single game tickets for both the Florida (Nov. 16) and Clemson (Nov. 30) South Carolina football contests are sold out. Tickets for those contests are still available as part of a limited amount of season ticket packages that remain on sale. The Gamecocks are ranked No. 7 entering the 2013 campaign in the USA TODAY Sports Top 25 preseason coaches poll.

During Monday’s single-game ticket sale opportunity, 5,000 total tickets were sold in the first 15 minutes of the sale. To date, 51,500 season tickets have been sold for Gamecock football, the most since 2008.

“We are very appreciative of our fans supporting Coach Spurrier and our football team to this level,” Athletics Director Ray Tanner said. “We are in the midst of the greatest era in Gamecock football history and the pre-season polls have us continuing that success this season. It is definitely great to be a Gamecock!”

The Gamecocks finished the 2012 season with an 11-2 record for the second-straight year. They were ranked seventh in the final Coaches’ poll, their highest finish in school history.

South Carolina begins the 2013 campaign on Aug. 29, when it hosts North Carolina in the season opener. That contest will kick off at 6 p.m. ET, and be televised on ESPN.

Season tickets can be purchased by calling (800) 4SC-FANS, or by visiting GamecocksOnline.com/Football2013 .
