Today, the SEC announced the toughest conference in college football is going to battle it out in historic fashion. Tiger Stadium and our National Championship Football team will play host to five SEC opponents in a 10-game, all-SEC regular-season schedule. This has never happened before and we want to make sure you, our loyal ticketholders, are given timely information regarding your season tickets.

Because of important public-health guidelines, we are anticipating reduced capacity at Tiger Stadium. Season ticket holders and student tickets will be prioritized. As I know some of our ticket holders may not be able to attend games this year, I want you to know you have options to retain your seats if you choose to opt out of the 2020 season for any reason.

• If you choose to opt out of the 2020 season, we are offering several options for you to review below. We are not asking for your decision today. You will be able to submit your choice to the ticket office via a form we will send to you next week.

• If you choose to retain your seats for the 2020 season, there is nothing you need to do at this time. Once a final capacity and schedule is determined, the ticket office will be in contact with you on next steps regarding any changes to ticket price and seat allotments.

Three options will be available for ticketholders who choose to opt out of the 2020 season.

1. Make a Tax-Deductible Donation Season ticketholders can choose to opt out of the 2020 season by donating their ticket costs and seat contributions to the Victory Fund at the Tiger Athletic Foundation. The Victory Fund has been set up to help support LSU Athletics during the financial challenges resulting from the spread of COVID-19. Choosing this tax-deductible option would also secure the opportunity to retain your seats for 2021. We will provide full details on this offer to you next week.

2. Rollover to 2021 As renewals for 2021 are scheduled to begin in November, if you want to opt-out of your 2020 seats you can simply apply your seat contribution and ticket costs to 2021 in order to retain your season-tickets for next season without having to process a new payment.

3. Request a Full Refund Full refunds for ticket price and seat contributions can be requested from the ticket office via the form that will be sent next week. LSU ticketholders who request a full refund will be given the option to retain their seats for 2021 through a non-refundable deposit.

We’re excited to welcome everyone back to Tiger Stadium in September and we will be in touch with you soon with more details on this plan. I want to also stress safety for all of us. If you have a preexisting condition, feel sick, or have other safety concerns for you or your family, we want you to stay home and watch the games on television. Your support is important, however your safety and the wellbeing of your family is more important. We will continue to be in touch as our plans for fall sports unfold.

Geaux Tigers!

Option 2 for me. As much as I would like to go to some games, I am not going anywhere near that clusterfrick that is about to happen. Good luck I will watch on TV and see y’all in 2021.

I’m going to guess on the top half donors are getting seats this year. Tickets will be harder to get due to electronic transfers and 50k seats will be empty.

My season ticket account consists of 4 separate individuals. What if some want to opt out and some want to go to the games? Or is it all in or all out?

Its safe to say that if you didn’t get national championship tickets through LSU, you have no shot at getting your season tickets this year.

This option 3 deposit must be substantial if we’re not being told now the amount. All this after they’ve held my seat contribution all spring and half the summer. But what kind of games will we be seeing? I can see the news article now—two days before the Alabama game some player tests positive and 30 of his locker room contacts have to quarantine. This could happen to Alabama or LSU. What is that game and your ticket worth at that point?

Student players and coaches are being called on to risk their health and lives so that LSU can make money off of football. I won’t have any part of it. I remember when President Kennedy was killed LSU announced the Tulane game would be played several days later and how President Kennedy would have wanted that. My dad was so mad he said he hoped the lights would go out. We’re at another one of those moments.

I am guessing there will be less than 25,000 people in stands (every other row used with six feet between groups of people on the rows used).

If I commit to this season and it gets cut short for some reason, I would hope we would get to revisit the options.
