lsu student priority points

What is the rationality of making football away games attended (including the cotton bowl) only 5 points? More points should be rewarded for people who pay extra and travel to see the team play IMO.
Just doesn't make any sense.

You only need to attend one away game, and possibly 1 priority point event, to be ahead of the entire student body.
You shouldn't miss any home games.
I attended every home game, one priority point event, and several away games...but I didn't buy them through LSU. So I didn't get PP credit. Still, I got tickets to 5 away games through LSU, including Alabama.
142 Priority Points here.

If I had to guess, I would say the system was created to curb the number of upperclassmen who purchased tickets for the soul purpose of trying to scalp them to freshmen who couldn't get tickets.

It's about money. LSU probably makes a good bit more money off home game attendance than it does off away attendance (IDK how much revenue sharing there is on a ticket by ticket basis). Plus there are always 3 or 4 games a year that not many students care to go to, and they want to fill those up.
I had the same problem a few years back and that's my rationale. I'd say that one away game isn't enough. I got tickets to the Ship after attending 3 or 4 away games plus all home games and it was still close.

What I don't understand is a student can be rewarded for scalping tickets.
If a student requests and receives an away game ticket then turn around and sell it, they get the five pts, instead of the person who is buying the ticket and going.
Feasibly you could go to all five away games and still get no points unless you actually bought the ticket. It's who buys the ticket, not who actually attends the event. Don't get it

Not sure on this but I think they can't monitor who attends away games. So they award points to the purchaser regardless of whether they go or who uses the ticket. Away teams spread out sections, etc. so LSU couldn't send a liaison to every gate with a card swiper thing making sure you have your tiger card. I'm not 100% on that but I think that's why...they still want to encourage away game attendance, they just can't monitor it.
