sure. but at a certain point you start to alienate your customer. especially when it's easier to watch the game at home. and all of this in an era when college attendance is becoming a major issue.

totally agree.
When a business ANY business abuses the practice, it becomes harassment and will lose you customers.
not sure as to the law in LA, but when it crosses the line they can actually be sued for it ..... although I am sure no one, or almost no one would.

Did you even read my post? I listed examples from other schools IN OUR DIVISION so basically our direct competitors. And their's are substantially lower than what ours are this season. Auburn is a top 10 team and just went to a conference championship game and their's is 5x lower than ours. And they have less seats aka lower supply along with a similar if not higher demand than we currently have which should mean they could charge even more if they wanted to! LSU is out of its god damn mind.

Gray Tiger is not a vested LSU season ticket holder. Watches games from his TV. And there's nothing wrong w that.
Probably an old coach who used his pass to attend games years ago. You can tell by his knee jerk defense when posters direct animosity in that direction.
I gave up 9 tickets this year, 3 were in my name. The owner of 2 that I use to buy texted me last night that he was interested in selling even after I told him I wasn't.
He doesn't expect full price for them. Explained that my wife and I are using the money on a European vacation instead. I'm not trying to make any kind of statement, just seems like there is definitely a trend amongst many long term season ticket holders and their lack of renewal.
