I always see plenty of students at the games. Most aren't sitting in the student section though so it's hard to notice how many there are.

There are alot more than you think, there's not really an actual student section so we sit all over.

Great Post haha

I think it is unfortunate that tickets have to be given away, too, but I appreciate the effort. Fact of the matter is...students are used to getting in for free all year, and many fans at large are used to getting discounted seats for certain games ($1 for Pack the PMAC, for example). They are not used to having to pay $19 a pop for a women's basketball ticket (and don't rip me either...I have been to tons of the games).

LSU is very aggressively trying to get people to buy tickets and come to the game. If LSU is to be awarded a host site for these games in the future (which is obviously a HUGE advantage), people simply MUST show up.

Unfortunately the start time sucks (8:45 on a weeknight) and the game is on TV. I do hope people will take advantage of the tickets, esp. the students.

Rag..probably the same reason they dont show up for football, basketball (both), soccer, etc... They show up for one big game a year (LSU vs Alabama football, LSU vs. Xavier basketball) and thats it.

Well, keep in mind that the price for tickets is set by the NCAA............not LSU. It is an NCAA event not an LSU event so, the NCAA sets all the rules.............including ticket prices.

I respectfully disagree. The NCAA sets a certain minimum and maximum charge and it is up to the school to determine where they want to fall in line. For example, at Rutgers, their tournament book cost $40. LSU's was $30. I think LSU charged the minimum. LSU is more concerned with getting asses in the seats than making money, which is fine.
