$75 to pick your seats to see the LF and the Tigers? Free parking? Why do so many think this is to much? Maybe we just need to realize our fan base isn't that hard core. You've seen it for years with vacant seats, halftime clear outs, etc.
This has nothing to do with the price. It amazes me that people cannot comprehend that some people have a life outside of LSU football. Sure season ticket holders go to the majority of games but as an adult most people do have other things going on. Additionally people in the south often schedule events on away weekends. If you don't believe me you will notice the PA announcer will not be present because even he had other plans and is choosing not to break them.

LSU's fanbase is like 75% deacons doing weddings on this Saturday.

What amazes me is that people cannot comprehend what it takes to fill a 100,000 seat stadium. Tiger Stadium doesn't fill up every week because 100,000 people decided on Wednesday to buy a ticket and go to the game. It takes a complex process of season ticket sales, student ticket distribution, visiting fans traveling, along with incentives for each of these and months of planning by many thousands of people to produce the spectacle that is a packed stadium. That process can't take place in three days. You also have to consider that, although many of us are quite comfortable doing things online, there are still a lot of people who aren't comfortable doing transactions online, and certainly not getting stuck in a virtual waiting room for half an hour to do it.
Without a doubt, if I were down there, I would definitely buy a ticket and go to the game (assuming I didn't have something really important planned that I couldn't reschedule), but to expect 100,000 to do that, or even 60-70,000, is just ridiculous. As I posted yesterday, anything close to 40,000 would be a respectable showing, and it looks like we are at 38,000 now, so that's not bad. If later orders today and walk-ups tomorrow push the number into the 40s, even better. 50,000 would be a huge success.
