re: The bandwagoners are looking for tickets, and they are annoying AF.

Already had a couple calls and texts asking if I can get tickets for people. I'm not in a position to get lots of tickets for other than my family so those all were No's.
Obviously, those that have the rights to tickets, or buy them on the open market can "gift"them to whomever they desire, for whatever reasons. But in other championship seasons I saw numerous Tiger supporters at the game and parties that I know never attend any other sporting events. They root for the Tigers from afar I suppose, but I would guess that most probably don't give to the athletic or academic fundraising efforts. Yet someone gifted them a ticket because of their position in the company, or a business relationship that provides revenue. Many of these ticket bears will be sitting on their hands during critical game moments or politely applauding the Tiger accomplishments on the field.
Absolutely the right of the owner of the right of those tickets, just as it is my right to distribute my tickets to those that I choose. Except that everyone that has a ticket that I earned through contributions, and paid for, will be dire-hard Tiger fans, will have attended most Tiger games (including away games), and will be yelling their lungs out for a Tiger victory. #OneteamOneheartbeat #GeauxTigers

Would you prefer to go 8-5 and not have to deal with this? I mean, I hate that you are so put out over the team’s success.

On my Facebook feed, I see people literally asking for free tickets - begging

I'm glad the $1200 pricetag is keeping all of the poors out. I want to watch this arse stomping with rich people not sidewalk fans.

Well, as long as they yell for the Tigahs, set 'em up, Slippy!

Newsflash: there are some diehard LSU fans who live out of state and because of position have access to a ticket or two to these prime games. They will yell just as loud as you. I know because I'll be sitting with one, hopefully!
Personally, I've been a Tiger fan since I could walk, and had season tickets for years. Finally made a business decision about a decade ago to give them up when the TAF participation fee got up to $1000/seat.
Still, I went to 8 games this year including 3 on the road. Doesn't make me less of a fan just because I no longer have season tickets.
Like others have said, y'all who have season tickets get to reap the benefits of hopefully making the cut and getting face value.
Summary: a lot of loud/active LSU fans don't happen to have season tickets.

Bandwagoners LOL. I must respond. Just because someone can't afford season tickets through LSU's TAF program doesn't mean EVERYONE is a "jumping on the bandwagon". Its great to hear you can afford to be a season ticket holder, like I. Growing up my family couldn't afford season tickets, but it didn't make us low life bandwagoners. Blessed and fortunately I have the opportunity to have a few extra dollars and hold season tickets to the baseball and football programs. Everyone doesn't understand all that goes into being a TAF member and the costs associated with holding season tickets, but I can guarantee it doesn't make these people looking for tickets bandwagoners. If you are season ticket holders and want to sell your tickets for $1,000,000 then more power to you, its yours you've paid for it, do what you want. I personally welcome all LSU Tiger fans new and old that can make the game on the 13th. Hope you all can find and purchase a ticket.
Geaux Tigers!

Your response should be: “I’ll put you onto the site insiders use for ticket deals. It’s called stubhub. Don’t spread that around.”

I agree with the fundamental message you're giving the jelly ticketless fans in here, but you clearly haven't bothered to scratch the surface of the political theory you're criticizing here.

BAMA was able to build their brand through bandwagon fans big $$$$$. Let them in (but frick them if they ask you to hook them up with tickets).

My parents have had season tickets since I was 6 years old. I've maybe missed 5 or 6 games since 2000. 25 now and I've never been to a National Championship Game. I would do just about anything to be in that dome on January 13th. It's ashame that rich a-holes/bandwagon fans with money that haven't been to a game in years will be in there and not the die hard fans that go to almost every game.
Slow down hoss. It’s my first year as a season ticket holder and I made the cut off. Has nothing to do with my income level either. Maybe your parents didn’t apply for post-season tix.
Maybe go take a lap

Sounds like you should broker some

Valid, reasonable response. No doubt will not be valid with most rantards.

I would pay 400 lolol. Tickets are 850 a ticket

I am hoping that all of the LSU fans who want tickets find a way to get them. We need to fill the dome and get loud.

I’ve had season tickets for a few years now and wasn’t high enough up the points totem pole to get tickets to the NCG game which I didn’t think I’d get anyway. I did get tickets to the SEC Championship and CFP games which I’m thankful. Just like the thousands of others who won’t be able to go, I’m content yelling Geaux Tigers from home, a bar or watch party at some friends house. For those of you lucky enough to attend the game, yell a little louder for me!

I think all the Negas should eat a dick and be banned from the game and the celebration on this board after we win the Natty!!

This what happens when you are the flavor of the month. Once in a lifetime opportunity for some of these LSU fans.
