Word is the LSU ticket office is dumping excess tickets below face value on Stubhub. If this is accurate it is total crap to the season ticket holders. This sets the market and screws those 65k that are loyal season ticket holders. Wait until next year when you see a mass dumping of season tickets!

I don't know if this in particular is true but I do know that LSU is doing just about everything wrong that they possibly can at this point so it wouldn't surprise me.

I think it's season ticket holders not wanting a 2:30 kickoff combined with poor play.

LSU still has tickets for sale at full price on lsusports.net.

So lsu season ticket holders are going to dump season tickets off of speculation that the athletic department dumped tickets on stubhub?

They very well could be. I don't trust anyone in the Athletic department operations anymore.

Damn I sold my 3 tickets in 402 for 126 each on Tues. I can actually get seats a few rows down now and pay the stub hub fees and still turn profit now.

I’ve never understood why season ticket holders always complain about this type of thing. It’s the free market. If LSU is selling them, they have every right to do so. As a season ticket holder, YOU decided to buy them.

If the team tanks to finish out the season and keeps O, I won't renew my season tix. $680 each ticket including TAF fees for 6 games and the 3 games so far were all games that I could've gotten tickets on StubHub for $30. I could buy tickets on secondary market cheaper and don't get stuck with having to basically give away tickets to the games I can't make.

How loyal could those season ticket holders be if they are selling them?

Its more a function of the market with season ticket holders dumping tickets at an alarming rate for the best home game of the year. I bought a great parking pass earlier this week for 75 bucks that was listed at 350 to start the season.

They’ve been doing this on Groupon/LivingSocial for a couple years now.

The Box Office used to always do this on the Ticket Marketplace, random tickets would always popup on a Friday for big matchups, but it was always for Face Value + a transaction fee. They always have a certain amount of tickets held back for staff/families/vendors etc, then as gametime approaches they realize they don't use them all and sell them... The only news here would be they are selling them below face value.

Rather than have unused tickets, they should give them away to kids or anyone willing to show up. Plant the seeds for future fans. Fill the stadium. Etc.

This will be a very easy ticket tomorrow if you just hold off and buy one outside of the stadium right before kickoff. I'd be shocked if you'd have to pay more than $20.

I don't think the ticket office is that smart and capable of doing it. Have you ever seen them be the efficient?

I wouldn't doubt they gave a big contract to some connected firm to do it for LSU.
