$2 for Arkansas 1993. It was on Thanksgiving weekend, the team was terrible, and Tiger Stadium was 25,000 seats short of a sellout.

My dad had season tickets from before when the old south upper endzone was built in 1953 and I can remember seeing a price of $6 printed on the tickets at some point several years later.

In the 80's it was free with your student ID. In my opinion it should go back to that...bring the student body back. The athletic program is making plenty of $$, really no need to bleed students of their lunch money.

Started LSU in 95. General tickets were $30 for any game. I believe they had just started charging for Student tickets and they were $3. You could walk up before the game and buy student guest tickets for friends at $30 each or you could do like most and find a $3 ticket and any ID of someone the same sex and race. They’d let you in.

$2 was what it cost me to sit in the student section. My dormies and I would get painted up and go about 2 hours before the game so we could sit on the front row. We would get cheered by the fans as we walked by. Sure miss those times.

I still have a ticket stub somewhere for the Duke-LSU game in 1958, my first game. I believe face value was $7.00.

I've gave away two tickets in the NEZ to the USCe game with the Colt David fake FG. Gave them to USCe fans because I figured we'd win and it would be fun to rib them a bit during the game. Tried selling them for a few minutes and eventually said screw it.

Pretty sure we had decent weather delay during that game too.

I started in '87. Student tickets were $2, and non-student tickets face value was $18.

I think the students got in free up until mid-80s when Bob Broadhead set them at $2.
