Question about baseball seating and donations

I’ve been trying to get baseball season tickets at LSU for years and never get close to sniffing them. Damn near everyone under the grandstand was grandfathered in as well, from what I understand. Might be a little off there but for the most part that’s the case.

As you can imagine the demand is incredibly high and I usually end up overpaying by a lot to go to one game a year until regionals come around and my status usually scores me the coveted standing room only tickets .


Edit to add: you may see me on here shite talking Arkansas baseball a lot but the truth is I respect DVH and I actually do pull for yall when it doesn’t hurt LSU. I’d love to see yall win a title for him. In a year that LSU is already out of it, of course.

I've had seats in the new box since... Maybe not the first year it opened but probably a couple years in. Had been on a waitlist for years while I was still in college and did the TAF student thing where if you give them $100 it counted like you gave them $1000. That was apparently enough to get me a shot right around the time I graduated.

My tickets are down the line in the outfield. They're cheap enough that I don't have a mandatory TAF fee every year. I want to say they were in the ballpark of $600/3 a few years ago but have bumped to $900+ now.

I think if you get a chance grab any seats you can get even if not as many as you want, then try to relocate or expand every year till you get to be around where you want. You'll have a better shot that way than holding out till your desired area opens up.
