Fair ticket price

A friend of mine was out of the country last season. I agreed to buy his season tix and sell them per game to my friends (season sucked and I got hosed, by the way). But the deal was I paid ticket price only for the season, but I would agree to pay the seat fees too if he transfered them into my name. He chose to eat the fees and get his tix back this year.

I didnt think you could do this.. I wasnt aware that season tickets were owned by a person but rather LSU's to give out.

I am in the upper west, bench backs about 35 yrd line, this year it is about 1060 a pair. next year will be around 1,140 a pair.

The market is the market. If youcan recoup your investment, I see no reason not to go for it. A sophisticated buyer will, of course, point out that the Tradition Fund payment is tax deductible to you, so that your true cost is probably only 60 or 70% of that amount, while he will not be able to deduct what he pays you. I also pay an $800/ticket TF "donation" and if I were inclined to sell all 14 of my tickets (7 games x 2 tickets)I would try to recoup as much of the $1600 as I could persuade someone to pay me. It isn't as if by paying me that much they are funding my season ticket rights into the future. I have to pony up the $1600 (or whatever) again year after year.

Nah, just selling them to friends and want to be fair.

the answer is yes, most people do. I also have someone who will buy these tickets at face + tradition. email me if interested at iasrayville@bellsouth.net
