re: Who on this board has been priced out of Tiger Stadium?

Here is my $0.02 on the ticket situation:

There are alot of ticket brokers out there that are LSU season ticket holders. Not much we can do about that. Scalping is socially accepted @ LSU, whether it is legal or not. Everyone needs to realize that every ticket costs the same amount no matter where the seat is located. The TAF fees & tradition funds are what costs so much. Season ticket holders pay those fees for the privalege to sit in the same seat for every game each year. If you wanna pay out your arse to sit in the same seat for every game, be my guest. It's your money not mine. I don't really care where I sit. There are alot of different opinions on what a season ticket holder should charge when selling their tickets. Personally I think that they made the decision to pay the TAF or Tradition fund fee to sit in that exact seat for the entire season. That's not my problem. If you want to sell your tickets for more than face, that's your business. Make it fair & put them on Ebay & auction them off to the highest bidder. That's fine with me. Stub Hub really burns my arse though! That site is full of tickets for 2,3,4,even 10 times face value on some games. Ticket brokers post alot of tickets there.

The way I see it (this is a rough guess), 75% of fans want a ticket in hand before they go to the stadium. It is these folks that will always pay higher prices for tickets to any given game. The other 25% are smart enough to know that tickets to almost all games can be purchased on gameday for less than face value. These folks really aren't too picky on where they sit.

I guess in the end, it's really your personal choice. If you want to sit in the same place every game it's gonna cost you alot of money. Sitting next to random folks throughout the season doesn't really bother me @ all.
