I contacted a person posting on here saying they were in Atlanta and weren't going to be able to attend any games this year. All I had to do was pay them a deposit through Paypal and then I'd get the tickets in August when he received them. After insisting that he sign a contract, meet in person, that I wasn't paying half of the cost up front, and that all of the posters on TD.com would likely require the same thing he never contacted me again.


Thought you were talking about me for a second, but I never had anyone insist on that set of rules. I sold most of my season tickets to a guy on the board here. He asked me how did he know he could trust me and that he would get the tickets. I told him he didn't. Paid me a deposit and then the balance when I got the tickets before I mailed them. He got his tickets in the mail from me about a month ago.

I wouldn't mind doing paypal and emailing the tickets, so long as the buyer pays those fees.

Boy oh boy, the ticket office really pisses me off sometimes. I know a few people posted a suggestion last year about before you buy tickets form someone over the internet you could get their information & call the ticket office to atleast confirm that they were a season ticket holder. Well I sent the following email to the LSU ticket office last night & this is the response I recieved this morning:

Subject: Ticket holder question


To whom it may concern,



I am in the process of purchasing a set of season tickets from a supposed season ticket holder for face value. I was wondering if there was any way you could verify that this gentleman is infact a season ticket holder? His information is as follows:

Name: **************
Address: ***********
Phone #: ***********
Seats: *************
Email: *************



If you could verify any of this information it would be greatly appreciated. I just want to confirm that this gentleman is infact a season ticket holder. I don't need specific information about the seats. I know alot of people get ripped off buying tickets from people they don't know every single season. I'm just trying to protect myself the best I can. Thanks so much & Geaux Tigers!

Response:


We cannot give out or verify our season ticket holder(s) information.



We also never advise purchasing tickets through any outlet other than www.LSUSports.net, the ticket office directly, or the LSU Ticket Marketplace. These sites are the only sites LSU confirms validity for tickets.



Thank you for supporting LSU Athletics!
