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!

“Coincidentally, the non-refundable deposit required in Option 3 is in an amount equal to all money you’ve paid for your 2020 tickets.”

Yea...they know a lot of ticket holders are ready to walk. I guarantee this deposit will have to be made before they unload all of their BLM shite throughout the season.

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.

Option 2 can blow me, I’d rather you not hold my money interest free for a year.

I’ll likely just opt for the refund depending on what the attendance amount ends up at

I don’t want to commit until I know how many of our five tickets we’ll be able to use AND I don’t want to be in the upper decks. I like 419!!

I know more will come out next week but does any of this crap indicate whether you get a partial refund if you choose to stick with it? Doesn’t appear this is addressed in the options

I was about to ask about refunds if you opt to keep tickets this year and then the season is called off after a game or two or three.

Yeah... I'm going to want my tickets, want a refund for the games I don't get to go to, a refund for the games that are no longer happening, and a partial refund on the seat contribution for the games mentioned above.

Why are they collecting next season’s pay in November?

I'm assuming because there will be a loss in revenue, so they need to collect fees earlier in order to still be able to pay their short term obligations and not have any liquidity issues.

LSU has way over complicated this, there’s not even enough information out there for people to make this decision.

They should have followed the NFL model. Tell season ticket holders you can either refund your money or apply it to next year.

Then once attendance numbers are more clear, figure out how you’ll distribute tickets from there.

How can anyone opt into this season with so much unknown ?
