I'm at 3,916 ranking. Will be sweating it out. I made the cut in 2003 & 2007, but have lost ground since 2007.

so at <3000 in ranking, expect 2 nosebleed tickets just like the last 2 times in '03 and '07. I'll take em. The "loyalty" points dominate the formula,(over 60% of the points contributing to the overall ranking come from loyalty points in this one case) which i like since otherwise only the coroporate donors would get tickets.

On the TAF site the ranking is real-time so any donations made since 10.31 are reflected and therefore you're ranking will be a bit off from what it would have been at the cut-off date.



Damn, just checked, and you are exactly right. I dropped from around 1900 in mid-October to between 2100 and 2200. Ouch. Looks like some money got dumped in those last couple of weeks...

and here we go again.......the other 42% will go to player parents, administration, students, POLITICIANS & other people. The result, people who have NEVER been to an LSU home football game will once gain end up with tickets from LSU's allotment.

This would probably explain why the people next to me at the last 2 LSU BCS Championship games left at halftime. They didn't really care but just wanted to say they had been there

I'm Bayou Bengal I have tickets and I'm going to rub it in every Tiger fans face by putting up Alabama by my name..disgusting proves you think you're better than most. No real Tiger fan would do that and even think about it unless to say look at me I got money and tickets. Stir up the ant pile just rubbing it with a Alabama "A" wat to go.



I'm far from guaranteed a ticket to the BCS Championship. I'm sweating it out like a lot of others here. All I have are season tickets and not all that great of ones either (West Upper).

It's not 4,000 points. Four thousand is how many donors down the list they will get to for ticket distribution


No -- actually it is a Priority Point RANKING of 4000 or better (lower) is what they are projecting.

i.e. -- if your RANK is #1 - #4000 you will probably get tickets... search elsewhere for the number of tickets allowed... but basically above #750 will be allowed to purchase 2 tickets.

I was about to say...people should be checking their credit accounts online for a ticket charge.

I am going to miss it by a few hundred probably. I wish they would start giving participation points the way they do for students who attend events. For example purchasing/attending away games during the year, etc. I will be calling in favors from past generations looking for these tickets.

At least you noticed the username. Many don't and just flip out and go off the deep end. I've had the Alabama A as my icon for a couple of years now mostly to troll people that don't pay much attention.


Haha, awesome deal, love the irony on it.

how many points would you need to be considered for the 4000 range?
