I honestly can't believe people still bitch about ticket increases. LSU is still one of the lowest in the SEC and we've been one the winningest programs the last few years. In case you haven't noticed, the college football world as drastically changed and if you want to stay at the top you need to spend money. To do so you have to have said money. If you don't want to pay for tickets, fine. There are people lined up to buy those tickets.

For me the thing that pisses me off isn't the price increases, it's that we get price increases and shite in return.
- Home schedules that suck
- Next year there are literally 2 interesting
home games.
- Horrific game production
- The scoreboards are used terrible, give us
highlights of other games going on during the
20 minute CBS timeouts.
- Inside condition of the stadium is deplorable
- The bathrooms in most of the stadium probably
haven't been refurbished since the 70-80's,
and often run out of paper towels prior to the
end of the 1st quarter.

Yea yea companies want to buy the tickets blah blah, but eventually if things aren't fixed that will turn as well. I had trouble giving away tickets to a bunch of games this year, and a few salesman I know did as well. Companies will eventually stop buying tickets if their clients no longer want them, and they will find other ways to more effectively spend their marketing dollars.

I'm not so much bitching about the ticket increases. Obviously if I've had my tickets since the 1960's I've incurred quite a few increases. I'm bitching about ticket increases and a crappy home game schedule. Going to a home game costs more than the price of a ticket and I'm getting tired of spending a fortune to go watch LSU play teams like UL Monroe.

And as for people lining up to buy those tickets - BS - I had a hard time selling per game tickets last year and I never get face value much less the TAF fee back

Really? Seriously? Ok maybe...but take a look around at the next home game and see if all the seats are filled.
