I know that the suite tickets are set and can't be changed for some years. I'm not sure how many. My father-in-law has a suite (a smaller one-16 people) and after everything (alcohol,food,&ticket) it comes to about 400$/game/person. I've heard him say numerous times that they couldn't up the prices b/c they have some sort of contract.

The donation required for stadium club seats did increase (not this year but in following years). There are three and five year contracts for those seats. We had a three year, renewed this year, and our donation is going to increase beginning next year I believe. I can't remember the specifics though.

We too are a suite owner of a 40 seater. Contracts with TAF for the suite only locks in the price of the suite. The price of tickets and all other asessments, donations and etc. go up just like every thing else in the stadium. Without these person's/corporations donating the big bucks our athletic department and TAF would not be able to make the necessary changes and/or improvements to the athletic facilities provided for our athletes to compete in and for your enjoyment. Just remember that the state owns the stadium, but does not repair nor make improvements to it. All of the funds needed to run and improve LSU athletics comes directly from supporters and ticket sales, etc. I personally think they do their best to give us what is expected.

Those who complain have no idea what is involved in the day to day operations of our outstanding top-notch program.
