$13.50 each. I can't ever remember tickets being offered at that low of a price. Are sales that bad? If so, not going to look good for TV audience. Anyone know anything about this?

I know quite a few people who don't plan on tailgating that normally do. I expect somewhere around 90k Saturday Night.

considering we can count on one hand (maybe two) the number of times we've actually had 90k in the stadium, that shite ain't happening

I know it's difficult for some people to understand, but paid attendance does not equal actual attendance

And for all of those who don't believe me, 07 Florida didn't even crack 90k. LINK

There have been tickets on Groupon in past years, and that's with season tickets being sold out, which didn't happen this year. Truth is that the visitor allotment rarely sells out.

You'll certainly be handed tickets to this game if you are willing to try to find some for free.

Don't worry. They'll get you on the parking since there is virtually no more free parking left.

LSU can't fill the stadium as is. Their solution...make it more cost prohibitive to attend the games

I seriously doubt they give that much of a shite if 75k people are in the stadium vs 100k for these type of games. They got your money once they sell the tickets anyway.

I guess you missed the 80's, you walk up to the gate and pick up the best free seats available.

My parents and their friends aren't even tailgating for this one. They never miss a game. But this is what you get for such a shite home schedule.

There will be 70k at kickoff. 30k in the 3rd.

You are going to get blasted by a bunch of people on here who somehow take it as a personal afront that we don't have 85,000 people at every game.

But you are absolutely correct. I can also tell you 100% certainty that will Skip Bertman was the AD he used to tell the announcer what the Dan Borne what the attendance was going to be.

Exactly. We aren't unique in this. The same shite happens at every single stadium, big deal. Some people just don't like to hear the actual numbers I guess.

The article mentions we were averaging 14k no shows, with 9k no shows for sec games, and 20k for non conference.

If those percentages hold true we'll see around 75k butts in the seats Saturday night.

Flying in from Boston for this one. Why? - bringing 6yr old grandson to tame first game where he can meet the new Mike. IMO - perfect.

Cheaper, like $8-10 on all the resell sites. $5 or free for bleeders right before the game.

This is an indictment of whoever scheduled Chattanooga.
