Tickets for Treasure Coast Kickoff Classic

[LongtimeVero]

 Any news on tickets for the TC Kickoff classic?? Vero fans have their season tickets for Friday game against Norland, but nothing on Gofan.co for the tickets on Saturday the 16th, with Tallahasee/Carol City and MiamiNW/ Lakeland. Anybody heard anything?

Tickets are available at Hometown ticketing (the old ticket spicket) via the link below:

Is there an explanation for the $16 game ticket?  Does this include parking and a hamburger?  These are kickoff classic games.  They don’t even count.

There must be a good reason like raising money for a good cause.

I plan on going to all 3 games.  Wouldn’t be a bad idea for a $30 pass to all 3 games.

Vero’s KOC games have always been for charity, in the past it has been for Dollars for Scholars, but it seems this year it benefits “Sports for Change” whatever that is, the normal KOC charity game usually runs about $12,  but I agree $16 this year does seem to be a little much for each game.

I’ll be there for all 3 games.  Staying overnight in Vero before heading back to Boca Raton Saturday after the last game.

Can't wait for these three games, and Chaminade @ West Boca will be a nice appetizer on Thursday. It's the most, WONDERFUL time, of the year....

Thanks for all the info! $16 per game is steeeep! Drogo where did you find the info from? I did find the games there, and I heard coach J on a morning show talking about the games and again he said tickets were available at gofan.......Seems mixed signals could lead to poor attendance. I'll be there though!

Lol on Blustein’s show a couple of weeks ago he stated they were on Fango.  Pretty sure he is not running the ticket sales.

Norland posted the link on their Instagram, Vero used to use Hometown ticketing when it was Ticketspicket, I think Coach J and Ira Reynolds may use GoFan as a generic term for any online ticketing not realizing it’s not specifically on there. 
 

As to transfers, as with most schools nowadays Vero does get their share of transfers, the one that come to mind immediately are:

Jordan Crutchfield (WR/ DB) Kentucky commit from Ft Pierce Westwood

Traveon Townsend (DB) from Ft Pierce Westwood

Sebastian Polynice (DB) from SLW Centennial

Maqarie “Duke” Phillip (LB) from Ft Pierce Central

Lance Stone (LB) from Treasure Coast

Jay Maurer (Kicker/punter) from Tampa Robinson

im sure there were others, but those are the ones I can think of right now.

WOW.... I recon I get little info now days! Thanks much for the update!

Thoughts on the games:

Norland-Vero: Norland will probably be a bit down from the last couple seasons, though they'll still be talented. Vero at home has a great chance to get a close win here.

Lincoln-Carol City: The Cheifs have been in a slumber for a few years, but word is their stock is up. I don't think they'll be elite, but they'll be pretty good. Ditto Lincoln, though I know very little about the 2025 version. It's likely this will be another close game.

Northwestern-Lakeland: The Bulls looked to be the most talented public school in the state before Bridgewater left. It's unclear as to whether they have or will lose anyone in the fallout. But, it looks like most if not all will stay with the Bulls. Lakeland quietly rebuilt their roster and it's likely they will be one of the top 5 public schools in the state based on talent on paper. IMO, Lakeland's season will come down to offensive coordination and playcalling. They have the pieces to be a spread, pass-heavy offense. They may be this, or not. Those in Polk who are close to the team know, but the rest of us will find out Saturday. I can't really project how the game will go given I don't know what, if any, progress the coordination/playcalling has made.

Lincoln lost a lot on the defensive side of the ball to graduation.  Plus I think some O linemen.  Qb from Chiles transferred to Lincoln.  Good run/pass Qb. RB and WRs back.  Team probably a little young but Lincoln always has talent in their Roster.
