re: Season Ticket Transfer Question

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.
I have season tickets, and I pay both, TAF and tickets, with a company check. So how do they know it is actually my company?

Do you still pay TAF dues so you can upgrade later or get more tickets?

This is off topic a bit but I'd like to find out what some of y'all think about joining TAF in general. Is it worth it if you can only afford one of the lower levels of membership? I have a buddy who recently signed up for the wait list for football season tickets. He asked me if I thought joining TAF would increase his chances at getting tix, even though he can only afford to donate about $100/year. I wasn't sure what to tell him. At UT, if you don't donate a significant amount, there really is no use in joining the Longhorn Foundation. I've had my tickets since I graduated and I never joined LHF. Is it the same way at LSU?

Your friend could join TAF and just donate the minimum, but he's going to be waiting for A LONG time if he want's tickets.
Being on the waiting list and not being in TAF makes even less sense because the waiting list is actually organized based on points. Without being a part of TAF or a current season ticket holder he will be passed up by anybody that donates even $100 to TAF.

Isn't there a chance he could still get some of the seats that TAF doesn't control?

I didn't think there were any.

There used to be. One of my dad's friends has tickets in the west upper deck, and his seats aren't TAF seats...unless things have changed.

No. When you get on the waiting list through LSU, you put in your taf number and it goes by that. If you don't have a taf number, you're basically just on the list with 0 points. Just get injured on campus somehow and instead of suing, just tell them you'll settle for the rights to a pair of season tickets forever.

When people say their seats aren't TAF they mean that they had the seasts before TAF came into existance. So technically they aren't TAF controlled seats.
That's just a fantasy though because the Tradition Fund that they pay actually goes to the priority points system. The same priority points system that TAF membership donations count for.
There aren't going to be any new season ticket holders that don't belong to TAF. TAF is the only game in town if you want to be a new season ticket holder.
The lack of understanding in this area is why I feel long time season ticket holders don't understand the frustration with TAF. I've seen things like "Johnny come lately TAF members" posted all over here. What they don't realize is that you HAVE to be a member to buy a pair of season tickets.

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.
Wrong. I pay for my bosses (owner of company) tickets that are under his personal account with my company credit card that has my name on it and lsu hasn’t rejected it yet…

Ok. Then some people in the LSU ticket office are giving out incorrect information. It seems impossible to get a straight answer out of anybody over there. Depending on who you talk to, you might get several different answers to the same question.

This is for everything dealing with LSU tickets.

I pay my tickets out of my pocket just like I donate to the Alumni Association and the Foundation. My TAF membership began when it first started and my $200 donation hardly grants me wonderful tickets.We had these long before TAF started.I do all this because I choose to support LSY in every way,not just in sports.LSU is my university.

That's awesome charlie, but I currently don't have the $10,000 I need to secure myself two upper deck tickets, so do you understand my problem here?
Posted on 3/27/09 at 10:16 am to TigersRuleTheEarth
I do understand but what I do not understand is the "fairness" bit. Fairness has nothing to do with it but then I don't believe in redistribution of anything that involves taking from some so that others may receive. Hey look, when I started all this YEARS ago,the $$ I spent were just as valuable to me as what you have to donate now and I don't mean you personally when I say "you". I remember when I could buy all the tickets I wanted during a few coaches reign and I couldn't even give mine away when I couldn't go so my point is if you want to play you have to pay.I played by the rules when I got started in everything,not just tickets and when the rules change, I have a choice to ante up what is required or to stand aside. THAT is what's fair.

I don't see where redistribution comes into the equation. If you believe LSU tickets are actually owned by the season ticket holder and not LSU then I see why you think it should be possible to will them to your next of kin.
I just happen to not believe they are owned by the season ticket holder from year to year. Sure, if you buy the season tickets this year they are yours to do with whatever you like. LSU is nice enough to allow you to be the first to purchase those same tickets the next year, but what has been beat into my head with all of this priority points BS is that they ARE NOT, in fact, owned by the season ticket holder.
In pre-priority points circumstances I wouldn't have a problem with you willing your tickets to anybody, but with the way the priority points system is run, I believe I have a right to those seats just as much as your son or daughter that hasn't donated a darn thing.
It sucks, but that's the way it is now.

agreed, it sucks but that is the way it is now,cest le vie.

my heirs would tell you they would have gotten more if I hadn't spent all that money donating:)

Points are nothing like property. Next of kin should not have any more right to buy tickets than someone new who is trying to get tickets. If the next of kin want to receive those tickets, they should have to pay enough money to get their own points up to the level that would be required to reserve those tickets.
Edited for the dick posting below me.

The sooner you realize this fact, the better.
