LSU is NOT forcing YOU to TAF. The university owns the seats. It can do what it wants with them, including allowing someone else to buy them.
Not real sure what your point is.
My tickets have never been part of TAF and been in the family constantly for over 50 years.. and now all of a sudden to keep them I have to pay someone other than LSU.. just kind of strange.. I can no longer log in to lsutix.net and buy my tickets.. they have forced me to go through TAF which I really dont agree with, but I have no choice (other than not buying tickets)

It really doesn't matter what you agree with and you should be happy it's going directly to TAF and not LSU because it's less likely to be taken from the university when they have budget shortfalls. I'm not sure if that's why they're doing it or if going through TAF prevents the university from taking it but it would be my guess.

My grandfather was an LSU alum who first bought season tickets in 1955 for Dietzel's first year as coach.
The very existence of TAF has always been disturbing to me. It's never a good thing when a private entity gets dumped on top of a public entity in order to control the money to do what a public entity could not.
I understand the fund raising problems that come with being a public institution under current Louisiana laws, but this kind of hybrid public-private monster rarely ends well in the long term.
