Why do you think they don’t stand a chance?


My concern is that our inside game doesn’t match up well with theirs. USCe has some big bodies .

It's just my personal opinion that the women's game is tough to watch. I'd bet my house that if you compared attendance and TV ratings nationwide of men's vs. women's college basketball, you'd see that most people agree with me.


That's not a comparison to make, to judge if others think a sport is "watchable".

In that case college basketball in general is "unwatchable" because most people in the United States don't watch it.

You can certainly make the argument that men's college basketball is more POPULAR than women's, but that doesn't deem women's basketball unwatchable.

The fact that some people are willing to pay that much just shows how far WBB has come in a short time


And is anyone actually paying that?
Just b/c someone is asking that much doesn’t mean anyone will pay it.
I have a very hard time believing someone would fork over a thousand for two seats to a women’s game in the regular season.

I once pd $500 for LSU and Bama football game. But if $800 for a Basket ball game is possible we have come big time. I hope we whip their(SC) butts.

I will say this, it will be entertaining. I am usually grinding my teeth the entire time MBB is playing. Not so with WBB, They are good.

I saw a post this morning with someone asking $5k for a pair in the 200 level. Do you think you have NBA Finals tickets?

I mean it's the last two champions playing in a top 10 matchup. What did you expect?

It’s girls basketball not football

$800 is stupid to pay for a regular season football ticket too

You folks that seem to be annoyed that anyone would ask a high price for a WBB game at LSU just need to calm down a bit. See what they are asking at Noon on Thursday.

As someone who has season tickets to LSU fball, MBB, WBB, and baseball, I can assure you that if you gave LSUWBB a chance, you might come to appreciate it as I do. It is all about what you expect when you go to a game.

I can tell you this: there are LOTS of fans around Baton Rouge who want to see LSUWBB play. The excitement around LSU WBB is every bit as great as the excitement around LSU Baseball.

Found the idiot


Why is he an idiot? That’s a stupid thing to say. I think an idiot would be a person paying $6-800 for a women’s basketball game and I don’t care if it’s two teams full of the greatest women’s basketball players of all time. It’s women’s basketball. I could care less if that hurts anyone feelings. Im glad they are good. Glad Mulkey is home. Ticket brokers are completely out of control. How much of that goes to LSU?

There is no way anyone is actually paying $800 to watch women’s basketball. I refuse to believe it

Listing price doesn’t mean anyone would actually pay that

I can't tell you how much LSU gets but they do get a cut. It's only if you use the ticket broker they have a contract with. At the moment, I believe it's SeatGeek. If you have season tickets or purchase single game tickets to any sporting event from LSU and want to resell them, you must use the link on the LSUSports website. You have to have an account with said ticket broker. It's the only way the buyer gets the code on the ticket that is scanned. LSU then gets a cut of the selling and buying fee.

For a long time it was StubHub. I assume SeatGeek offered a bigger cut.

But I completely agree, it's a huge racket.

Cheers

I got free tickets by virtue of coach mulkey giving out free tickets to every game at the LSU school of vet medicine!

Prices for WBB should be the same for every game. Why a pricing money grab because one game is deemed more important than any other? Nothing but a fan ripoff only because they can. Ridiculous.

it's supply and demand.

If you don't like the price, don't buy the ticket. You have that freedom.

Capitalism, you know.
