It would be really great to see some company in La, purchase a huge block of tickets and then donate them to military members and their family, or first responders.

It sure would be nice to control other people's money, wouldn't it?

I am also surprised that large blocks have been snapped up and distributed to the military, etc.

ExxonMobil, CocaCola, and others are missing out on a great way to give back !!!

The big companies in South LA tend to be oil related, and as an employee that is witnessing layoffs and mothballing, employees would rightfully lose their shite if that happened.

It's getting really really ugly in that sector down here.

I can't make the game but have thought of buying a pair and donating to someone or a charity that could see to it that people who ordinarily can't make a game can go. I know in the past for example there was an online option for Saints tix to donate them to charity. It's tough to organize anything on a large scale on short notice, but it would be nice if LSU could facilitate something as another way to give while also driving attendance.

A charity ticket donation benefits in multiple ways. A poor family, military member, etc. gets in free; LSU looks better by having a full(er) stadium; USCe has more crowd noise to deal with; USCe has less of a hole in their budget, and the donor gets a tax deduction.

Win-Win all around.

ETA: I see now there's a way to upload tix to vettix.org
