It contains 2 vouchers, 1 for men 1 for women, for 4 free basketball tickets to any out of conference game.I know they cant sell them but to actually give something away is a shock.

They've sold a good amount of tickets for mens, but with the OOC schedule at home pretty meh this season I guess they want to get you addicted so you pay for SEC games.

I like the idea.

I'll take them...

It's a great idea! Give you a seat that would just be empty to try to get you hooked! Why is that so bad?

I do to. I didn't realize that URI was on the schedule. That will be a good A10 opponent to add to the Strength of Schedule.

There is nothing wrong with it. I've been around LSU athletics for 35 years and I can actually say its the first time I can remember receiving such a thing

Nothing's free.
When it's time to renew football and baseball tickets, you'll see why!

Bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch

The masses have even found a way to shite on an offer that promotes both programs.

I hold season tickets for both teams. The idea is to find a friend to give the tickets to who might not otherwise have gone...get them into the arena, hope they have a good time and buy some concessions and gear...and hope they come back another time and BUY the tickets. It is a way to try to draw new fans.

People on here have bitched that they don't promote the teams enough....well here is their chance to do that. Way better than lame TV commercials.

Great idea. Hope you guys post on here when there is a weak OOC basketball game this season.

I'll make a couple of them, want to see this team in action!

That's a great idea. Not like they don't have extra seats to fill. Make money off concessions if nothing else.

Yep...the profit on just one $6 order of nachos can feed a kid for a month...or pay Leslie's salary for a shade over 47 seconds.

I got the same thing and was shocked. I think I will redeem tonight for four Rhode Island men's tickets and four Florida Gulf Coast women's tickets.

Question - why do the LSU women play a 11:30 AM game on Tuesday 12/3? Trying to get a game in prior to final exams?

Hopefully things get better in football before they have to do the same with all those new seats that will be available. By better I mean higher prices for tickets, beating a certain team, parking problems, beating a certain team, escalator problems, beating a certain team, and finally out recruiting a certain team.

Op you are lucky- I've had season tickets over 25 years and all they have done is ask for more money
