Last year in the SR it was walk up SRO. Has there been a game that was this hard to get a ticket?

The games were early and it rained all weekend. Also, we played Stony Brook.

I've never experienced one that was this tough to get. The last series at the old box wasn't near this difficult.

Irvine in 08 was rough.

I remember a SR in the old box against A&M that was very tough as well.

Last super regional series in the old Box vs UC-Irvine. I got lucky for one game and got grand stand tickets (Game 2). The other 2 games were SRO.

How difficult do you think it will be to get one tomorrow outside the stadium- SRO speaking? How early should we be out there?

Several hours I'd think.

Last weekend I hung around the Hayfield trying to find a seat and sell the SRO. I was out there for a couple of hours. I will give you that often it's harder to buy (or sell) one than a pair.

Beware of the non-regular ticket broker types. There was an African American guy last weekend who allowed a season ticket holder to gauge him $90 for 4 tickets then was trying to re-sell for $160. (I witnessed this while looking for my single.) Red or Sam (the guys who sell basketball and baseball regularly) told me that this guy is from New Orleans and part of a "pack" of scalpers that travel to wherever has a hot ticket.

Game 3 was probably the hardest ticket ever for LSU baseball

Apparently there is a group of them that just travel from hot ticket location to the next hot ticket location.

The guy last weekend was charged $50 over face by the season ticket holder and was still trying to profit.

I'm sure the out of towners will be in full force tomorrow. I hope LSUPD runs them out on the rail.

should I be worried about counterfeit tickets if I buy off the street for this?

Oh yeah, but even for game three at night, it seems like it was a walk up SRO ticket.
