fans are more informed than they used to be as well. if you buy in early to help the school look good you tend to get punished by paying a higher price for the same or worse seats than you can get by waiting. there's a spoiled fan issue as well - but that's hardly limited to LSU fans. Florida didn't sell very well for the Sugar Bowl last year after an 11 win season.

Bowl games generally give the participating schools their least desirable seats, thus these seats are in the corners and end zones. The schools then sale them at a premium price. If you want decent seats just wait as close as you can to game time and buy them online.
The problem with bowl games now is the price of fan participation vs watching it at home. I find it a rather interesting dichotomy that TV networks have increased fan interest to all time record levels yet fan interest in attending the actual game is decreasing.

fans are starting to outsmart the system. you can buy tickets for cheaper prices and get better seats through buying tickets on the secondary market. look at the chick-fil-a bowl last year. we bought 10,000 tickets, but easily had twice that many in the ga. dome. i sat near mid field in the clubs for almost the same price i would have paid to sit in the upper deck endzone if i would have bought it through lsu.

also, our fans dont seem pumped to play iowa, even though they are clearly a better team than michigan and nebraska.

our fans are so up or down. we can bring 20,000 to seattle, have 40,000 plus ticket requests to the rose bowl in 24 hours and bring 70,000 plus to dallas against oregon and then pull this crap. mark my words tiger fans, this will bite us in the arse in the future, and youll have noone to blame but yourselves.
