like everyone has said before, it is almost impossible to get season tickets in your name (not to mention 4) without writing a HUGE check to TAF. Like the poster before me said, your best bet is to find a season ticket holder that is willing to part ways with his tickets and buy them. Either way it will be incredibly pricey, especially after this season

BUT, those tickets will always be in the current season ticket holder's name and he'll never be able to transfer them to anyone else (other than a lineal decedent at death). And, the person paying for them will never be able to order away or bowl game tickets -- nor pass them on to his kids.
True. Made that perfectly clear to my friends I bought for...they only get home tickets. I reap the reward of away tickets and bowl tickets. And if they ever piss me off...

As far as I know, LSU doesn't require DNA tests to prove lineal descent.
Couldn't I say my nephew/niece is my child and transfer the tickets to him/her? Seriously, who the frick is going to know?

I'm sure legal proof would be required by the athletic department to get the tickets placed in someone else's name.

I don't know how they do it for deaths, but I can tell you this story about two friends of mine who got a divorce. The LSU tickets were a contentious issue in the divorce. They were awarded to one of the parties, as that party was primarily responsible for getting them in the first place -- and they were in a group with her friends.
When she looked to have the tickets put in her name solely after the divorce, the ticket office required an OFFICIAL original court order showing that the court ordered the tickets to be put in her name.
So, I'm guessing the ticket office has pretty detailed procedures (probably involving submitting a will or court document) when you look to transfer your tickets at death.

To all the smart asses who slammed this guy for the stupid question and sob story about passing down tickets and kids at Bday parties, KEEP IT UP!

When my dad transferred them to me, all that was required was his signature. We did this before the Tradition Fund started. I got east side and north tickets and transferred the east to a total stranger (now he has the $900 per seat Tradition Fund).
I know that in a contentious divorce, proof would have to be given.
Since I got rid of the east tickets, I've been offered NEZ tickets twice.
I have 4 now, could have had 6.
I just don't know how LSU would know if my last name was "Smith" and I transferred them to a nephew/niece with the same last name.
And I'm not going to find out either... Hell would freeze over before I gave either of my nephews my tickets.

Back in 2003 they allowed tickets to be transferred. I know people who paid over $50000 for the rights to four tickets. Will they ever have this option again?
It's possible. When Skip originally set up the current system, he made it advantageous to set up your tickets in many accounts among all your family members. This was so because of the lottery system for bowl and away games.
At that point, in 2003, you had an actual chance at the lottery. I believe that for the 2003 NC game, the ticket office had 2,000 ticket available in the lottery, i.e., 1,000 season ticket holders won in the lottery.
Then in 2006 or so, they changed the rules. In 2007, you had virtually no shot at winning in the lottery as they decreased the number of tickets in the lottery to 200, so that only 100 season ticket holders won the lottery.
In the meantime, for those who set up their tickets to take advantage of the original lottery, it's a severe disadvantage as all of their TAF Priority Points are split up among several accounts, and they have to pay a hell of a lot more money in fees/shipping cost every year as a result.
So, I've been told that they may open up the transfer rights one more time so that people can arrange their tickets in a way more advantageous to the current system.

TAF required a copy of our marriage certificate when my wife and I merged our accounts.

I don't think LSU allows you to will your season ticket privileges to someone. If you have children, then they can be passed down. However, if you have none, and you die, they go back to LSU.
Posted on 11/26/11 at 12:45 am to Red Stick Tigress
Tickets can only be passed to children.

I can get Saints season tickets a lot easier and cheaper than Tiger tickets and see NFL games.
You obviously have no idea how big college athletics works. You think it's bad at LSU, you should see the absurd contributions required at the likes of Florida and Tennessee.

I'm pretty sure that Skip brought in this lineal decedent rule at the same time he set up the Tradition Fund. Back before 2003, there wasn't much of a need for it. But, then the Athletic Department decided it wanted to try to get as many tickets back as it could (especially the PRIME sideline seats), as it could charge more "donations" for those seats if they were in the TAF. So, the lineal decedent rule was established.

That's TAF. I'm talking Athletic Department.
I got my dad's TAF and mine merged (only because I was paying his TAF donation) before the ticket transfer.
And before anyone bitches about this, he only contributed $50/year for a couple of years before I started paying it.

Lots of legalities now and can only be spouse, child or grandchild. Season Ticket Transfer Policy

You are allowed "to will" your tickets to any child/grandchild/great-grandchild you desire. So, if you have five kids and 10 grandkids, you can pick and choose who gets your season tickets.
If you die without a will, then it just passes in equal shares to your kids (or grandkids if their parents have passed). If you die without any lineal decedents, then, you are correct in that LSU gets those tickets back.

It doesn't sound like a will. It sounds like any surviving child of a season ticket holder can get the tickets second to a surviving spouse.
So if it is a widow or widower with a few kids, any could petition LSU to be named the ticket account holder:
"If there is no surviving spouse, the Athletics Department will offer the option to renew tickets to a surviving child if provided with a notarized and uncontested request by the child to be the season ticket holder of record. "
Uncontested being the key here.
Can you say Family Feud?

I also think that LSU should allow transfers to siblings. In my case, the tickets were originally my dad's, and if I decided not to continue buying them, then my brother or sister should get that opportunity before surrendering them to LSU.

Well, OBVIOUSLY, that's the point. If only one kid cares about the tickets, then there are no problems. And, it would be uncontested.
But, where more than one kid cares, then you can will them to one or another kid/grandkid. And, by mere operation of law, if you die without a will, technically the tickets will pass in equal shares to all your kids (assuming no spouse, as he/she would have first rights). And, I'd bet that you would need a court order telling the ticket office how to split up the tickets in much the same fashion as a divorce decree is needed in the case of a divorce.

I agree. Although it's not in the written rules, I've been told that you can achieve this by giving your tickets to your parents, and then have the parents give them to siblings. I'm not certain this works as I don't see anything in the LSU rules allowing you to give (or will them) to parents.
