Everybody has their own opinion about what will be allowed. I’m taking a compromise approach. I can’t imagine they will allow a packed stadium but spreading out 20K-30K seems doable, assuming they figure out a way to prevent people coughing on you entering the stadium. I won’t be attending either way. It seems like my options are:

1. Wait and see if LSU gives me a full refund (possible).
2. Sell at face value (difficult)
3. Take a gamble with some willing buyer. I sell my tickets at a fraction of what I paid. No refund to the buyer if they can’t be used. If people are allowed to attend, the buyer has season tickets at 50% off or whatever price we agree to. I miss out on the full refund from LSU if that is allowed, so I’ve lost money. The buyer doesn’t get a refund from me if nobody is allowed in, so he/she has lost money.

Just wait. If I get to go to every game, I go to every game. If I go to three games, I'll go to three games.

I’m in a high risk group, so that’s not an option.

Someone said “don’t be a bitch”. If I offer my tickets for half price but the school turns around and would allow me a full refund I’m out a grand and the buyer has saved a grand. How is that being a bitch?

doubtful, MAYBE give a credit for next year at best IMO.

If they allow a full house you are screwed. They will say show up or eat the tickets or sell them.

If supply is down 80%, I promise you demand will not be down 80%.

Has anyone received guidance or asked about it with the ticket office??

Another big thing is I’d bet that no matter what happens you’ll only get a refund for the ticket portion. TAF is gonna screw is for the TAF fee for each seat. Dicks

Football season will proceed and every person in the stadium excluding suites will have to wear a mask. No refunds

"TAF Fees" in TS are related to premium seating. Rest is Tradition Fund, which is from the athletic department.

For baseball, the AD and TAF refunded everything ("fees" included) unless you opted to keep your donation portion in place for the purposes of preserving your points.

In March, things rapidly shut down. It happened in 48 hours it seemed.

It’s not yet at that level for opening up, but in a matter of a week, you’ve seen some liberal state governments cave and open things up to sports. If the momentum continues, you’ll get your football.

They can have my 2020 ticket money even if we never play a game this year!
After seeing the commitment and what LSU accomplished last year, I AM ALL IN!

I bought my usual second hand tickets and also got on the waiting list with LSU for more tickets. I am going to the games.

With 100,000 fans how will wearing a mask be policed? Impossible task.
