Cats director announced this increase today, saying that there had been a cut in funding and because of this, the old @4 price would only provide a 20% return. New price is $10 per ticket.

Link?

Here's the actual site: https://www.downtownbatonrouge.org/aroundshuttle.asp

Also, you can get your ticket comped at any bar/restaurant downtown if you just buy a beverage. Best gameday deal in town.

ETA: Quick Google search found the link at the Advocate

Mirabito said the grant that was subsidizing some of the costs expired, making the fee hike necessary to cover operating costs.


Just got a tax sizable tax increase to pull from there Mirabito. WTF.
