Why are you going to drag me into this?
Basically I don't think tickets should be willed to extended family members. If we are to include Johnny come lately fans, then we surely must include the young daughter of the guy I used to get my tickets from. His daughter never went to an LSU game until she got married. This past year she wanted not only two of the tickets that I normally get, but all of them. I now have to donate a few thousand dollars to get what she was been born into. Trust me when I say she isn't a bigger fan than me.
I wouldn't just say TAF members are the only Johnny come lately fans.
I just wish TAF was gone. There are too many ways to abuse the system for profit. Before TAF you could maybe get a 25% markup on the good tickets. Now people are asking for a 100% markup over the face +Tradition fund. Talk about speding a wad to see a season in Tiger Stadium.
I'm going to stop now before I get too worked up. I'm still figuring out a way to bring down TAF. I just haven't figured it out yet.

I see yopu've fallen for that line of BS hook, line, and sinker. How did anyone win a championship with out a similar TAF program?
Bogus excuse and you know it. Besides there could be tweeks to the system that don't allow for the abuse that wouldn't be the complete downfall of TAF.

If TAF is sooooo bad, then why do people keep coming back? LSU Football = crack / TAF = drug dealer

Willing tickets to family members should be allowed without question. If I bring my kids to games for 50 years, then I die and they have to start over, that would be way uncool.
I sat through Curly and the late Dinardo days...and NEVER missed a game. I believe that does give me the RIGHT to keep my tickets in my family until a meteor wipes us out or the US is invaded by Mexicans...(oh wait, I think that already started)

My dad got his tickets from his dad, I should be able to get them from my dad.

Why couldn't they get their own tickets when they are old enough?
It isn't right because it puts those whose parents were too poor to afford tickets at a disadvantage. My dad's worked for LSU for 50 years at football, basketball and baseball games for little and sometimes no pay. He's worked everything from sporting events to concerts and doesn't ask for any favors like free tickets or box seats. Because he did this for LSU, he never had the money to afford season tickets to anything. Does he deserve the right to get automatic season tickets? Is he less of a fan because he couldn't afford them?
Now I'm trying to get in and buy season tickets, but while others can keep it in the family, I start from the bottom. Your kids should have to start when they are old enough just as I have to. They shouldn't get automatic tickets just because you paid for them for so many years. That's just my opinion and I want you to understand my point of view.

I've been going with my dad to LSU games since I could walk. I'll be damned if anyone else gets our tickets after he passes away.
Sorry you feel that way, but your dad put you in the position you are in by not getting season tickets in the past.

Let's get back to the original issue of getting access to your aunt's tickets. Open up a checking account in you and your aunt's names - have them printed on the checks. You make the deposits to the account and you'll need to maintain it as an open account. Have your aunt put in a change of address form to show your address. You'll end up with access to the tickets even after your aunt dies. Open up a TAF account in your aunt's name so you can accrue points to your ticket account - you'll loose any TAF points that you currently have but the account will get accrue any future points.
Believe me - it works.

We thought about doing that. However, the check has to be from the "donor of record", meaning that when my aunt dies, my mom would have to forge her signature.
I don't think this is true. They "TAF" doesn't care where the money comes from. It could be cash, personal check, business check, money order, cashier check. As long as they get the money.

i got my tickets by transfer. i don't know if they stopped doing that but i had friends that had 3 sets and tranfered a set to my name 7 years ago. if someone has tickets to sell just buy them with a money order in that persons name, had some friends do that because they lil' boy played football on saturdays.

If you have tickets, you or your family have been paying your dues. All this CRAP and whinning about "it isn't fair" is what is so prevalent in this country now and is the root cause for the beginning of our downfall.If you want tickets you know the rules so pay and play or shut up.What do you want,more "legislation" over what is "fair"?? BIG BS you are spewing and THAT isn't "fair" that we have to listen to it!!!

It is true...or it was at the time that my aunt called the LSU ticket office to inquire about transferring her tickets. Maybe the policy has changed since then, I don't know. It was a couple of years ago.
And to clarify, I'm talking about the TAF donation required just to purchase the tickets. That is what has to be made by the donor of record. Anybody can pay for the tickets, but without the required "donation", you lose the option to purchase.

You always pop up in these threads. Care to tell everybody how many tickets you have?
He's got more than 2 folks...more than 4....more than 6? Yep. What's the number?
Until you've had to deal with TAF from the begining, STFU.

so here's a scenario:
a family that has had LSU football tickets for 60 years, sitting in the stadium for the shitty losing seasons and what not, passed down from father to son gets the shortend because some corporate exec that has tons of money to donate to LSU?
how is that fair?
how can the average family compete will millionaire execs, especially in a recession?

As long as they pay the Tradition Fund they can't lose their tickets. How do they have to compete with new people and corporations?
