I was following it for about an hour before I picked. I didn't see the four I wound up getting until I was in the system. I scooped them up as fast as could. It's unlikely seats like these will open up again, and the few that may over the years will be gone by the time TAF rank #500 picks.

Where are you now? You trying to get 2?

Im in 617 but i never sit in my seats because they are high. (Got em when i was 18) Usually just get given tickets in lower bowl.

Yeah I haven't ever sat in my seats and I been having season tickets for about 10 years now. Finally I can sit in my own and be happy. Now I just pray I got good neighbors.

Man I don't remember the exact year but me and my buddy slept over night in line. Didn't really sleep but stayed over night. The next day when the office opened, I was prolly like 20 or 30 people back, I got to the line and they said they just sold out. I was furious because they were selling on the internet and phone too but people who camped out got nothing. So they took my name and number down in case something would open up. So I drove back home pissed and tired as hell. I fell asleep right when I got home, which was around 11am. I hear my phone ring around 3:30, I barely wake up and it's LSU saying they had a pair for me. I was fricking pumped then

That is one aspect of the picking I don't understand. How can better seats turn up later?

Some old geezer with seats on the sidelines since 1971 and hasn't ever donated shite to TAF decides he wants to downgrade? With very few philanthropic points, it could happen. Albeit not likely.

I wish I could still log in and watch the seats disappear. #Ihavenolife

Someone with 6 tickets in sets of four and two in different sections may want to move to one section...maybe two sets of three or something like that. The beauty of this years system is it really lets people pick and choose exactly what they want and see it before hand.

Or could be two people who have two tickets that sit next to each other want to obtain more tickets so instead of two people having two tickets each, they both wanted four tickets, meaning the four they originally had together became available.

As we've said for a while, this was the year to make changes like that. Now, I just pray I can get 4 together by the time my daughter hits high school (she's 4 now).

Thanks. That would make sense. It seems the mornings get off to a slow start but by the time the afternoon rolls around, they start to crush the tickets. I am about 2 hours behind you, so save me a pair in the lower bowl
