Season Ticket renewals and overall commitment

I think you will see lot of turnover this coming season; I will not renew if can't sell on ticket board, just can't pay $3,100 for a pair with parking before leaving the house.
Lets see some the CLM lovers step up and write the check! I would be honored to sell to any of them.

For me it's not just about the money but the time spent on attending a game. Assume that others also feel the same way. I don't have confidence in Miles.

I believe LSU is starting to price themselves out of the market.

They are raising prices at the same time they added capacity. That will do a lot of satisfy the demand. Add in the fact that several of the games are crap games, combined with the fact the team has gone down a notch, and it's easy to see the problem.

Traffic is horrible. Stuff in the stadium is expensive. Every home game has been on tv for a few years now - even the terrible ones.

My FIL had tickets for a number of years, gave them up, and then got them again in 2002. He gave them up before this season. $1,800 for 2 tickets was just too much for him. I had the opportunity to pay for them, but with my work schedule, I really can't make any games before mid-October. So I would be able to go to at most 3-4 games. And most of the games I would miss were the crappy ones that I couldn't sell.

I see some people claiming they will not renew their season tickets and I wonder if that is just emotional ranting. Even though there is a lot of crap that challenges my fan hood, I could not bring myself to not renewing them, as i know how long it would be to try and reverse that decision. So, all these people who say they will cancel, I just don't buy it, and I don't think Alleva and others do either. We are emotionally-trammeled to the LSU football team. We aren't going anywhere. Maybe a small number would get fed up and cancel, but only if they have crappy seats or have access to tickets another way.

Well, congratulations. You are truly a super fan. You're also the reason ticket prices continue to skyrocket and why LSU hasn't played a quality nonconference opponent at home in several years. The administration knows they can count on screwing the blind loyalists like you to help keep the money flowing. But if I still had tickets, another .500 or worse SEC season coupled with another year of QB play that would be embarrassing for a high school team would drive me to drop my tickets.

until we have a couple of losing seasons in a row, 99% will renew season tics...and we are not close to having multiple losing seasons in a row...

We led the sec in ticket sales last season. They prob only went up this year, maybe not as high as bama, but they still making money even if some of y'all don't renew now. It hasn't got to that point yet.
