My dad has his tickets for sale is the lower SEZ for $100 total on stub hub all week. Nobody sniffed them. You paying $120 for tickets means you didn't really shop around or try to find better/cheaper tickets.

Also, I only buy two things in Tiger Stadium. A large sprite for my bourbon and a giant water. I'm usually so full from all the food and booze I ate before the game. You know, the food everyone is cooking and eating the entire day leading up to the game?

Email this to the BOS. They've killed LSU football gameday experience with who can park where and what tailgating can look like. it's a shame.

If they prices are too high for you to afford, then don't go.

It is pretty ridiculous that it costs more to park and concessions than the game ticket itself.

On a hot day like that, they should have allowed the one water bottle to be brought into stadium especially since you would probably buy it right outside stadium anyway.

The sad thing is I would be willing to buy more concessions if price was reasonable.

My thought process when looking at the menu above a concession stand and seeing a $7 soft drink is "Can I wait 4 hours to have a Coke for $2? Yeah I can."

I only had to go through that thought process once this year because I can fit drinks in the pockets of cargo shorts. So $2 Cokes in the stadium. 50-cent half liter waters in the stadium.

If the concession prices were reasonable, I'd save trouble and buy there. But they aren't and I don't.

That's about what it costs me PER SEAT without the food, drinks and parking when you factor in the privelige to pay the enormous TAF fee.

I don't understand the need to buy food in the stadium anyway especially at a 2:30 game. Just walk up to a tailgate and grab some Jambalaya around noon and stuff yourself before you go in. Maybe grab a water and you're good to go for the game.

The amount of asswipes on here chastising the OP are the types of idiots that empower Alleva to continue to frick up the game day experience.

Great going guys.

Actually it is the people like OP who empower Joe to do his thing. It doesn't matter if OP complains about the prices, it only matters that he paid them. I agree with OP that prices are crazy. The solution is to not pay them.

The parking seems to be more outrageous than the food.
