I have gotten 4 since the news became official yesterday. Sounds like they are worried here.

One. But I find it strange that they can find me when I'm not looking for tickets and don't seem to be interested when I'm looking for baseball season tickets. I've paid to be on the waiting list for a few years with no luck. I know about the TAF point system but there sure did seem to be a lot of empty seats before Maineri actually brought back the excitement.

Quit your bitchin. This is nothing more than they do for any other sport.

Would you rather them send out nothing so you could be on here bitching about how LSU needs to be better at communicating how to get tickets ?

I recieved 3 emails, but they were all the same content, just from 3 different sources. Seems the amount of emails one receives is directly proportional to the amount of services they have signed up for over the years (i.e., TAF, LSU ticket office, etc).

To me the emails show just how many bandwagon/fair weather fans LSU has accumulated over the last several years. I am sure we would not have gotten this email last year or even the year before when we were in the Sugar Bowl.

4 emails in the past 24 hrs

A student ticket email said
quote:

Do you know another season ticket holder who didn’t meet the November 24 deadline to order postseason tickets? If you do, forward this e-mail to them
.



They must be really hard up!

Email athletics@lsu.edu and tell them if they get a new DC tickets would be flying out off the shelf

I've gotten 4 or 5, but I'm a student and a member of TAF so I'm getting double from Joe.

I spoke to someone in the ticket office and they are VERY concerned about having to return tickets to the bowl. This would reflect very negatively on LSU and could possibly keep other bowls from inviting us in the future. I believe that the ticket office only got about 4,000 requests for bowl tickets, hence the reason for the flood of emails in the past 24 hours.

I would buy something in the lower deck...not that interested in the upper deck, regardless of who the DC is.

3

They should just be honest...buy some tickets this year and when we get back to a BCS we will forget you next year! I dont remember getting this many emails in previous years. They don't want you to get more upset when they know that you won't get any tickets.

Two. One last night and one today.

The last one not only asked me to buy tiokets but to forward the e-mail to all my friends.

At least a half dozen. What pisses me off is TAF members were supposed to get priority on tickets based on ranking. My place fell 2000 slots when its not possible for that to happen with the way the plan was supposed to work. LSU admitted they changed the plan to to include those who give money in other areas. In other words, the fat cats get the pick of all the bowl tickets first.Let the people who got NCG tickets last year buy them
