Those tickets have already been sold by LSU. The buyers are offering them for re-sale and at much higher prices than they paid for them. Those don't affect seating capacity because they are already included in the 25% capacity limitation.

Who says it's going to take "weeks"? The state's increase to 50% seating capacity for outside venue events just went into effect TODAY. And so far any season ticket holder can get tickets from LSU for any game prior to the SEC part of the schedule. So there's no reason to rush to increase the capacity....yet.

The survey that season ticket holders got yesterday wasn't to ask them if they wanted additional tickets. It was asking them how they would feel about having to sit closer to non-family members if seating capacity was doubled.

In other words, if a non-family member ended up sitting next to them or directly behind or in front of them (empty rows are currently alternated with available rows for seating) would they object to that. Remember, fans who bought their tickets did so with the belief that there would be distancing in the seating arrangement.

Some of them may object to having the rules changed allowing close contact with people they don't know.

I understand they have already been sold by LSU. But there are still tickets out there. That was your point that there are tickets out there so capacity is not a problem. When LSU releases more tickets to SEC games there will then be more tickets out there so capacity will still not be a problem.
Article on capacity
This says “It plans to accommodate more fans in the coming weeks”. It might not take weeks and if it doesn’t then I applaud LSU for being on top of their shite. That’s why I said

I don’t have a problem with that I’m just saying that is something they could have sent out when ordering tickets or sometime before the season. If people end up objecting to that then that is going to take more time for them to figure it out. If they would have sent out those surveys earlier they could already have seating chart and know exactly what seats they would be selling tickets for
