was an exhausting process.
From a drunk fan screaming and cussing, "One pernt fie" to the line getting held up by people on their phones to the painfully slow process of actually getting a ticket and change from the ticket attendant.

Something should be done to make the process quicker and more efficient.

I agree with OP. I spent 30 minutes in line and when I got up there. The foreigner that was issuing tickets couldn't read the name on my card. He said it didn't match the name on my ID. Only difference between the two is my ID had my middle name and my card didn't. The amount of stupidity shown at that moment was beyond belief.

You can get them ahead of time at Ticketmaster if you prefer.

A friend of mine showed up at the halftime of the Sterlington/MP game. Bought two general admission tickets from a ticket booth that was closing down, walked straight to the gate and was told the tickets were no good. Had to wait ten minutes to get in. Luckily people at the gate saw him purchase the tickets.

I like the convenience of buying online as it eliminates your wait at the ticket windows on gameday. What I don't like is all the extra fees associated with buying online.

I guess it comes down to a preference of your time vs your money.

You can also go to one of the schools that are playing and purchase tickets. WM starts selling them the Sunday after the semifinals. They were 13 for GA and 16 for reserved.

If you show up intoxicated to a high school sporting event I believe you need to reassess your life.

15 makes sense but 1.5 is just stupid

Buying tickets for a football game AT the game is trashy.

Buy them in advance like the classy folk, dumb poors.

We just get ours from the school. Takes about 5 minutes, including parking and walking to the office.

I went the first Friday for the Select Schools. Took exactly 2 minutes at the ticket window, walked right up.

I was going to chime in and say the same thing. I haven't been to one of those games in over a decade and they had the same problem then.
