re: Anybody Else Feel Football Tickets Are Overpriced?

t's not so much the price of individual game tickets as it is LSU pricing a lot of people away from the game day experience ...

oh and I completely forgot the ridiculous parking charge and how bungled that has been.

Dude .. How much better can it get than the 2009-2012 window, success-wise ? During that time there were 2 games .. TWO .. Where the market commanded face value or a few coins above .. For the rest .. An average of $20 got you into every game with decent seats .

LSU football tickets on game day are not hard to come by at all on the secondary market ..

Eta: The 2003-2007 window was obviously incredible too, but we'll take the current window as a barometer ..

LSU charges Bama prices for Vanderbilt results. That's just the fact.

Bama lost 2 in a row. Vandy didn't.

Quite the avatar. She a relative?

And even then, with minimal effort, you can go to every home game in a season for $150 total or less and sit next to people that dropped close to $200 PER game for the same seats ..

Be sure and thank them. If it werent for people like that the program would be on the level of all the other state schools

Free enterprise dude...Supply and demand....rules of the world of economics.

Excellent point!! The core fan, not some guy who drives a Mercedes and can drop money EASE.

I'm not knocking rich fans, or those who supporting the program. I have given to LSU for (projects) and staduim inprovments. But you get to a point where it's Overpriced, and LSU is getting ready to see the cliff in my opinion.

Given next years schedule , what games are above ticket price??

I'm talking about taking it into account over multiple decades no single season to the next.

Who wants to give up "good" tickets even if you don't attend the games and try to get back into a good seat 10 years down the road?

My family has had tickets since the early 70's and we would never give them even during the really bad (Hallman *cough*) years just so we could get back into a good seat when the good years roll around.

People need to quit thinking as if LSU football started in the year 2000 and that the majority of season ticket holders make $45,000/year or less.

In years we don't attend a game we give them away and reap the goodwill for that to friends and customers even if they don't attend the game.

Basically it's much cheaper/easier to keep GOOD seats than it is to regain GOOD seats.

Let's say LSU has a major skid and wins 4-6 games per year for 3-4 years in a row. I still wouldn't give up my seats even tho I might not attend ANY of those games because it would be too difficult and expensive to get back into similar seats when LSU started winning 10 games per season again.

I'm not giving up my season tickets , but I think these new increase in "Tradition fees" are silly. Half (11 sections) in the North end zone seats at $300, Are you serious? the rest of the NEZ is $260, why no $210 sections ? The South has (6 sections) at $300. 14 at $260 and 6 stayed at $210.
