Reading Tigernet and it seems the fake Tigers with their weak version of Death Valley are having issues...their AD sent a message to fans asking them to buy bowl tickets...

LSU has sold just more than 10,000 tickets for the Dec. 31 Chick-fil-A Bowl against Clemson, according to senior associate athletic director Herb Vincent, though that number is still far short of the allotment of 16,000 the school received.

Per The Advocate we've sold over 10k. Allotment was 16k.

I wish it would hurt the SEC's money intake. It's stupid to shove LSU down the bowl pecking order just because two other East teams have recently or will recently play Clemson (South Carolina, Georgia).

LSU should be the 4th SEC pick, and not the 6th. Screw the bowls, I don't care if they lose money. I have nothing against the Chick-Fil A bowl... if LSU finished 6th in the SEC. But LSU did not finish 6th.

LSU vs Michigan in the Outback was the perfect matchup, or LSU truly earned the Cotton Bowl slot, but the SEC only cared about "protecting" Georgia. I guess a Les Miles vs. Michigan matchup wouldn't draw any interest, or for the 12th year in a row Texas A&M can play Oklahoma.

I'm guessing the crowd will end up 50/50ish with a full lower bowl and sparse upper area. The stubhub factor will definitely have a role w ticket sales. I think most Tiger fans (myself included) have found other things to do on New Year's Eve and are saving $ for trips to Dallas and Athens next year. I go to most bowl games but this one just isn't that appealing

I'm guessing Clemson is having difficulty selling tickets too.

Does LSU 10k tickets sold include 2 tickets for each player and band member tickets?

True fans will buy a ticket and watch our team. I'm excited for it. Quit the bitching and support our tigers.
