re: Mailing of tickets?

Seriously the ticket office continues to make everyone wonder if someone they contract will drop the ball and 50,000 fans don't get the tickets till the 4th game. Whats the reason they can't get these tickets printed and shipped by the 1st of August?

Blame the printing company, not the ticket office. First of all, season ticket holders have until May 31st to renew their tickets (and the ticket office usually gives a 2 week grace period after that anyway - you wouldn't believe how many people don't pay on time). They have to wait until at least most tickets are renewed so they can send the bulk order to the printing company. This way the printing company can put the account number and name of the season ticket holder on each booklet. The company is Weldon, Williams, and Lick - which some have mentioned correctly is in Fort Smith, AR. This company does season tickets for tons of colleges and pro teams across the country.

After the bulk order is submitted, WW&L doesn't send the tickets in to LSU to send out until the first week of August. LSU ticket office workers then spend the next two weeks working 12 hours a day to hand package each season ticket holder's packet to ensure accuracy.

Some of you bitch way too much without knowing the facts.
