It's just cheaper to buy on StubHub if you add it all up.

I haven't been able to give away all my football tickets. I quit basketball year before last and have never been able to get a chair back baseball season ticket.

I enjoy the thought of season tickets, but there’s realistically only 2-3 that I really wanna go to in a year, tops. Especially with neutral site games taking away prime matchups for the fans who bought season tickets .

They're worth it when the team is good.

I sell the baseball tickets I'm unable to use and I usually pay for my season tickets that way.

This year with football I've been giving away tickets.

We haven't been able to give away our tickets either.

They are only worth it if you like sitting in the same seats around the same people every game

If you don't care where you sit then no they are absolutely not worth it

I don't see football and basketball ever sell out again
Maybe for one game a year like Bama or Fla like it was for 19

Baseball, the only reason most people keep season tickets is to have them come regional time but with parity in sport it's not every year like it was previously

Unless your team is top in the country and playing quality opponents.

The price gouging for big games is ridiculous and the service fees on stubhub are highway robbery.

Are they worth it? Absolutely. Love being in my seat (Section 415) watching the Tigers play, win , lose or draw. Its LSU football. Disappointed when they lose but I'll never give up on LSU! Looking forward to the new hire and more and more of LSU football!!! Go Tigers!!! L - S - U !!!

I have never seen a sporting event of any size that a ticket was not available at some price.

Have you?

As far as football goes all those TV timeouts have made going to the game something of a major time commitment. SEC network night games seem to last FOREVER.

I'm still on the fence on whether or not I'm going to renew my softball season tickets... hard to justify driving over from Houston when I don't enjoy watching the games anymore due to all of distractions near my seats.

I've also quit giving to the coaches booster clubs, LSU foundation, and getting close to doing the same for the Alumni Association.

I'm of the mindset now that if I don't enjoy something and it's too much work to attend, then it's time for me to do something else.

I mean, it just depends on that price. I know back in the day when the Cavs had LeBron and came to NOLA it was impossible to find a ticket. Not sure about the Tigers. My family gave up our season tickets in 2000 (I wonder why... )

Part of buying season tickets is to support LSU. If you’re looking at it strictly as money it probably doesn’t make economic sense.

For baseball I think it is. Football, there’s really only a handful of games that are worth going to. You can always get basketball season tickets. Never have to worry about joining a waiting list and all that.

It just seems that season tickets for baseball are hard to come by, and it’s nice not having to worry about finding some tickets for regionals and supers that aren’t SRO.

I have been having LSU and Saints season tickets since I was a child. Is it worth it anymore? I don’t know, I just order them automatically.

For my money, no. Not even a close call.
