What am I up against to get 2-4 baseball season tix in the grandstands? I tried to get tix in the grandstands as part of the 15-game package, but there were none available 2 minutes after the packages opened up for sale. I don't want to try to get them last minute or have it put to me on StubHub.

Secondary market is really your only option... Post on the ticket exchange board.

I have a buddy who has had season tickets for the past 6 years, and a member of TAF. He's requested to upgrade his tickets for the past 5 years, and each year he's denied. He's still in section 221. So good luck.

We have been trying to upgrade our bleacher seats to the grandstand every year since the new stadium opened. Still waiting. We are very low on the TAF totem pole so I doubt it will ever happen for us.

We lucked out and found someone on the ticket exchange about 4 years ago who sells us his grandstand seats every year. We also get the post season tickets. We are very lucky!

Pretty much the same deal with my buddy. LSU seems to be jumping large donors over existing season ticket holders the past few years into the grandstand. I guess it's their right.

Baseball tickets are way too cheap, people don't give them up. It also seems that everyone I know who has chair backs have them because they are old family tickets and they own 8-12

I tried to upgrade to the grandstand, but the only seats available are singles.

The best I could get was 2 on the first row of section 220.

$1010 per pair, including parking pass. Not really pocket change.

there are more season ticket holders who die each year than 2%. sounds like family holding tickets

I originally got my tickets in the grandstand when only half of it was sold. 1989. Season ticket price was $30 per season.
