Does anyone know if there were increases in the tradition fund for the 2009 tickets? I got a notice today and saw a substantial increase in the fund with no change in ticket location.

The tradition fund is in the second year of a 3 year increase. Depending on where your tickets are determines the size of the increase. This increase was proposed by Skip Bertman before he retired and was approved by the LSU Board of Commissioners.

A friend of mine and I were just on the phone, he has 8 seats on the East side right along the brick wall, 4 his, 4 he sublets, he said his bill just opened was like 1K? He wasn't happy.

Remember these fees were proposed BEFORE the economy went to shite. This was a bad idea by the man that is collecting the second HIGHEST check from the state of Louisiana for a job he no longer has. I think there will be a renewal hit because of this. Just hope I can get tickets as a result

Another 8-5 year and the natives will start to get restless with the increases...I dont mind paying them but I want a winning product on the field. I understand a bad year here and there but hopefully fixed this year.

Yes. A couple of years ago, LSU instituted a three-step increase in the required donation to the Tradition Fund that will end up doubling it over three years. Mine went from $105 for 2007 to $140 for 2008 to $175 for 2009 and will go to $210 for 2010.
