Your response was measured and well put.
It helped me understand a lot of complaints on this board.
Any major college ticketing system totals sales for each home game.
These totals get reported to the SEC and NCAA as official records.
These totals are later data-mined for future planning.
Since this USCe game is not a home game, these tickets can not be counted
as a home game for LSU. Since these ticket totals can not be rolled into
the LSU home totals and the history files for each seat,
these tickets needed to be processed outside of their regular ticketing system.
Especially with the different pricing levels for this one game.
An ad hoc stand-alone application needed for this situation probably has no access
to details such as whether it is a season ticket seat.
The main priority was to sell tickets.
Think StubHub. They sell tickets.
They don't care if it is a season ticket that has been in the family for 3 generations.
They sell a seat for a given price.
This is as basic as you can make the transaction.
You posted because you did not understand how restrictive the ticket sales process
had to be given the circumstances. I hope this explanation helps.
The whining comment was aimed at other posters who complain about the weather,
time of day and day of the week etc.
I would be ashamed for other team's fans to check TD at this time and see the
other things people are complaining about.
