Where do see tickets available for SEC games "right now"?


Stubhub
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.

No I am saying that I understand why people think that LSU might not have been prepared to increase capacity if it ends up taking weeks for it to happen
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.

So how will that work, exactly? Do we get another round of seat selections? Same order? If they chose two seats the first time around and only have two season tix, are they excluded from picking more seats for the games they already bought?

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

If you're a season ticket holder you can already buy additional tickets to games no matter how many season tickets you normally have for baseball.

Just go to LSUtix.net and sign-in. You'll see all of the non-conference games listed.

Select a game you want tickets for (even if you already got your "two" tickets during the original selection process) and a new menu opens allowing you to buy 1, 2, 3 or 4 tickets to the game. If you want more than four tickets you just have to buy more than one block of four tickets. There appears to be no limit on how many tickets you can get for each game as long as there are available seats.

Select how many tickets you want and then a seating chart of Alex Box Stadium opens and you pick where you want to sit based on the available seats in each section of the stadium.

No, that wasn't my point.

My point was LSU still has tickets available to every game up to the SEC part of the schedule so seating capacity is not an issue yet.

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

Yes, but they are shite seats. I did not pick my full 15 allotment the first go around because the seats weren't even close to where my normal seats are, they were in the corners down the line. If they open up more seats, then they should be opening up more GS seats. It would make zero sense for season ticket holders to get stuck picking shitty seats, then have the general public open to snatch up better seats simply because of the timing of the capacity increase.

Look again. There are grandstand seats available for all three of the Oral Roberts games this coming weekend.

The same is true for next weekend and all three of the next mid-week games.

If they're not ready for this, they better start getting ready for 100% capacity a month from now.
