I do but I've never tried to go that route. I live out of state and travel constantly so StubHub is kind of convenient because of instant download and I don't have to deal with or meet anyone to exchange cash for tickets. Typically I'm buying MLB, NFL or NBA tickets to take customers to games when I'm making sales calls in their perspective cities. I don't really care for the fees but it's nice to have the app on my phone where I can quickly purchase tickets and go about my day.

I really hate when people who don't go the games rant about why others should.

Interest/price has nothing to do with the team's performance last weekend. Tix were $9 on stubhub two weeks ago too. ....and $9 was high given everyone gave their's away at the gate to interested individuals.

I have a customer that has never been to a LSU game. He went to a small college and said one day he would like to take his son. He buys a lot from me, is a loyal customer, and I like his boy so I hook him up with some free tickets and used my Hilton Rewards Points and got him a free room Literally nobody gives a shite about any of this


Don't listen to this guy. I'm fascinated by small colleges and your liking another man's boy.

If tickets will actually start piling up unsold, NOT just unused, then maybe the idiots on the BOS will clean out the FKing/JA/0 clown car

The tickets are between the forties about 30 rows up and they cost $50 plus fees. I saw tickets in the nosebleeds for $9.99. Lower bowl seats in the $30 range. WTF?

You ought to take a look at ticket prices for other schools' crappy non conference games.

Sure it may be a little lower than it might have been but attendance has been trending down everywhere with every game on TV. It's expensive for families to travel.

Remember during the Curly years, people were giving tickets away for free around tailgate parties and on top of Victory hill.

Okay smartass since you are that interested the guy is from Haynesville and went to Southern Arkansas right up the road in Magnolia, AR. He has a 10 year old son that loves sports and is a huge Tiger fan. I bought the guy and his son tickets to the game because I like them. You got a problem doing nice things for people?

You make a valid point. It is expensive to travel. It's not that I saw a few cheap seats. It was a massive amount of cheap seats in prime seating areas. Look I know this is an OOC game but it's not Jacksonville State or a New Mexico State. Syracuse is an ACC team. A team that a massive amount of Tiger fans traveled to their venue to watch our game with them. What I'm trying to drive home is it's painfully obvious this fanbase is beyond fed up when a massive amount of lower bowl tickets in good seats are running $25 to $50.

I gave mine to a friend who has never been and had been wanting to take their daughter to a game.


You can get tickets to Troy in the east upper for 7 dollars.

I scooped up a pair in the north end zone for 29 a piece.
You could've walked up to the stadium and scooped up a pair for 5 bucks a piece or most likely given a few for free if you waited. There will be literally hundreds of tickets in good locations for sale Saturday before the game.

Alumni Band is playing and even though I'm a GBFTL Alum, I'm not even going. (And I usually don't miss it)

I think a big reason that there are so many tickets out there this year....is the effects of the flooding....people just don't have the extra money to spend

My uncle had six tickets he was going to donate to the Boys & Girls club. He was on the way when he stopped to get a cup of coffee at the Circle K. The tickets were sitting on the passenger seat.

When he came out of the store the window was broke out. Sure enough, there were now 12 tickets sitting in the passenger seat.



Upvote. That's damn funny.

All of this. I have had season tickets for well over 20 years and have sold them the last few years because of family things not making it possible to go every week. Never a had a problem selling them. Never took longer than 3 days to sell them. This year I only had 2 ppl even inquire about them. Hell I saw ppl selling 1500 dollar tickets with TAF included for 800 bucks.

team wears purple today. Any out of conference game except the home opener is always purple jerseys. But I could see them throwing on the white helmets, or going all white.
