Student Tickets Mayhem
Posted on 8/29/23 at 10:45 am
Posted on 8/29/23 at 10:45 am
Are yall hearing about the issues with student tickets? Freshmen received an email that the would be allowed to purchase tickets at 9 this morning. People went to the website where they had the tickets divided into two packages and then they could buy 1 ticket to the A&M game as a separate option. Many people clicked on both packages and the A&M ticket and checked out their purchases, bank accounts were charged, then they received an email saying that they could only select one package and that that their purchase was removed. So no tickets now show up in their account and the website wont let them buy anything. Students and parents are losing their minds. Ticket office is hanging up on people if you can get through at all. Supposedly they made the change so more people could get some tickets since they have so many more freshmen this year. Its a mess right now. Way to go LSU, screwing everything up.

They don’t get tickets to all the home games like we used to?
That blows.

Apparently not. The whole situation is a disaster right now.

Yep, my son got screwed over. He got the email 10 minutes after he bought the tickets. I told him to go to the ticket office after class since he couldn't get through on the phone.

Demand is too high. Think if 75% of the students want to attend games with the seating that’s provided. Just not enough seats for butts.

Do the fraternities still have allotted ticket amounts and seats? That was such a nice benefit of being in one

Yeah the student section currently is a disaster. People complain about the students leaving early (and its warranted) but in fairness a significant portion are unable to even find room to stand.

They should just let them buy half game tickets. You can buy 1st half or 2nd half tix. Bring in some freesh blood at half time when most of the kids are leaving by then anyway.

this happened my freshmen year minus the complete frick up.
only it was a lottery to get a package.
i literally got 0 tickets my freshmen year and had to buy them as I go

The ticket office has always been a disaster. doesn't surprise me at all

I talked to my son again. He went to the ticket office in person and they sent him a link to be able to keep 1 of the packages and the A&M game, so at least they took care of him.

Damn, in my 02-05 years it was a lottery for freshman, but if picked we got the whole season for like $48 with a $2 fee to make it an even $50. 04-05 might have been higher after the championship but not by much. $100 maybe?
Posted on 8/29/23 at 11:11 am to crap4brain
I paid $70 for full season student tickets my freshman year
Of course that was 2003. After that demand went up pretty significantly.

Yes the fraternities and sororities bought their tickets at the end of June

They should go back to just the ID. Scan ID and get in.

They had to split freshman tickets into packages in 2008 after we won the NC. I mean if they made it clear that you could only select one package, they shouldn't have been greedy and try to game the system
With that being said, LSU should have had controls in place to prevent you from checking out or proceeding with both ticket packages. I didn't realize this happened so close to the first game though...Posted on 8/29/23 at 11:46 am to lsufan_26

They didn't tell inform the students that they could only buy one package until after they had bought both. Even still they should have controls to prevent them from buying both if they can only get one.
