What games were you able to get in this mini plan last year? Sounds like it may be worth it to sign up for the waiting list. I haven't been signing up for the waiting list for the last couple years cause I know I've had a very slim chance of being offered tickets. I think I have around 20 philanthropic points.

Donating to TAF, Priority Points, Waiting List???? Don't listen to the people that say you are wasting your time and/or you gotta be rich to get tickets. Not true. I graduated in 2003, the "peak" of LSU football fever, and all I've done is give $100/year since then and I got a call in 2009, lower bowl endzone (I also got 2 pts for doing the collegiate club my junior and senior years at LSU). Will it take a few years to climb the ladder? Sure, but if you'r patient and continue giving $100 every year you'll eventually get a call. 2014 there are going to be A LOT of calls with all the shuffling going around with the SEZ expansion. Just be patient, give your yearly donation, and the call will eventually come. If you've ever got an extra $5000 disposable income, feel free to give that and it will certainly shoot you up the rankings, but that is not necessary to eventually secure season tickets. Will it help? Sure, but it's not necessary if you're patient. I recommend giving the $100 per year, moving up slowly, and in the meantime just buy your season tickets on the secondary market every year. Don't listen to the fools that say you're wasting you're time. Anyone that says that obviously doesn't know WTF they are talking about. I have first-hand experience that your time will come, and my experience has come in a very "LSU-crazy era" as fan interest in LSU the last 10+ years is at historic highs. And also don't forget that even if it takes a few years to move up (and it feels like you're "wasting" money), you're donating to a program you love anyway, so in that context it makes me feel good.



This, this, and more this. Good post!

You could have gotten free tickets or max $10 tickets to all of these games. The market was flooded last year with people walking outside the stadium. I gave my two away to most of these games.... some of them got thrown away/not used.

Thank you captain obvious, but you're not factoring in opportunity cost into you're equation.

I'm happy to pay face to LSU for the tickets and not have to worry about shopping for fricking tickets all god damn day while trying to tailgate.

I also enjoy knowing where I'll be sitting ahead of time.

I hear you captain dickhead! I don't blame you, just saying those are some shitty games. Makes you wonder what TAF/LSU does with the tickets for the good games in those seat locations?

LSU & TAF are not the enemy

Being a bigger fan than your wallet can handle is the enemy

Yes big money people waste their seats in TS because they can but they also donate plenty to keep the program competitive

probably goes to the visiting team. if the team doesn't request as many tickets LSU sells them in packages.
