We bought 2 many on the secondary market by accident and have I believe 4 xtras in 118 we need to sell. They are being mailed to me. Would probably have to meet in Atlanta not enough time to mail them back out. Email is haysnbrown@gmail.com if anyone is interested.

But, like most things in America- my ranking has very little to do with me, and everything to do with my family, who has been accumulating LSU tickets in various locations of Tiger Stadium for the last 40 or 50 years... and then passed along the tickets and points to me.
You're in a good spot. Let's face it, LSU season tickets are like another form of currency in Louisiana in terms of intrinsic value, arm twisting, and goodwill. This was especially apparent when jockeying for position for the 2003 NC.

Divorce lawyers often tell stories about LSU tickets and near fist-fights over who gets the tickets.

Yeah, I’m in a good spot- until March when i have to write a six figure check to TAF/LSU every year!



Fortunately i have a few dozen families who buy tickets from me every season, so i only wind up paying for the 4 or 5 passes i use, so i make out okay.

Did LSU send out locations via email or are y’all logging in online to see the locations? Also, anyone know how/when tickets will be delivered?


Check your order history. And they will he print at home sometime next week I believe.

I have a similar rank to yours, in the 1200s. I also received upper deck tickets. In 2011, I received 4 lodge level tickets with a ranking around 1100. I agree that donating all this money in exchange for upper deck tickets doesn't make sense. It is simpler to choose select games and purchase on secondary market.

You have almost no philanthropic points yet you donate six figures to TAF yearly? That doesn’t make sense.

I sure do miss that 80% write-off.

Mine say Will Call in the account, does that mean we wont have the print option, do you know? We are planning to sell and not sure if the buyer will be able to pick up without our ID and card. This is our first time with post season tix. That game is not an option on our transfer page.

We got 4 in first row of 325, ranking around 4800.

It makes no frickin sense how LSU dispenses the tickets. I'm calling monday to cancel my request for National Championship ones and will instead just book with the traveling tigers. Will cost more but at least ill be sure to have decent seats and a room at the team hotel


Seems pretty clear? Why do some of y’all think your ranking of 3500 means you get the best seats?

Because his “donation” is all tradition fund. Not philanthropic donations.

you said it right--donating tens of thousands and getting upper deck seats is really rather stupid. I need to do something else with that money

I didnt say ‘almost no philanthropic points’ in my previous post, i said ‘relatively few philanthropic points’... relative to the amount of lifetime priority points we have,

Stop looking at your tradition fund fees as a donation. And not all upper decks are the same. Especially in NFL stadiums.
