I'd probably feel like a little bitch because someone smarter than me figured a way to get the same seats and get around the TAF fees.

If it makes you feel any better, when I sit there, I'm doing it for free.

Its really a matter of common sense and honesty. You pay for the right to sit in a certin area. Do so.

YOU voluntarily entered into a contract with LSU when you purchased your ticket.
Did you know LSU changed it's SRO policy after the season began? I believe it's because there where some more privileged fans complaining. What do you think?

true, but if the seat is paid for, who cares who sits there?

All of these arguments usually boil down to "do it cause it's the way it is". It's really the only thing that people can say in this instance.

my stance is, if people aren't going to show up to the games, LSU has already got their money, who cares if I sit in a seat that is reserved for them?
Well LSU obviously cares. If you had a seats in the upper deck at TS you would have had to leap from the deck down to the lower levels....good luck with that.
But I saw you asking why buy tickets if you don't show up. Look twerp, you don't get to tell people they have to show for games or sit in their seats for 9 innings.
People worked and paid for those seats by paying a $2300 per seat license. That gives them access to the clubhouse to eat and drink. If you owned that seat you wouldn't want some piss-ant, snotnosed twerp in and out of your seast giving you a bad name. People may think they gave you their tickets....which no one would ever do.

Yeah real smart huh? We'll see how smart they all are when they are in their purple seats, in the clubhouse drinking and eating during regional games.....where you gonna be then?

So, if you get to do what you want with your ticket, then I get to do what I want with mine, which means sit in your seat

I think it has NO BEARRING on our discussion of people migrating to the better seats during sparsely attended games. If you want to sit in a purple seat, buy a purple seat ticket.
If LSU sells you a ticket and is not able to accomodate you as per the terms of that contract, the two parties may come to some other agreeable terms, such as,,,,,,,,,a seat upgrade.

Honestly? The same place I was last regional...sitting in a grandstand seat for face value when one of those smart people couldn't make it to the games. ALL 3.
BTW: Thanks to you guys that sold the tickets to me. You are the real Tiger fans. Not these guys that would rather I sit at home and let that seat go to waste.

You sound like a dick....what of it?
What you little punks need to understand is, sit in the seat you paid for. How hard is that? I didn't start the thread about getting kicked out of purple seats.....want to know why? I sit in the seats I friggin' paid for twerp.

Tomorrow, I'm flying to Houston. My ticket is for coach but I'll just plop down in First Class "If there is something available". In fact, I'll just jump from seat to seat as the people who paid for 1st class seats show up.
Posted on 3/24/09 at 1:48 pm to simmons2112
so, how many people that post here do you classify as "twerps"? It seems to be a large number.

Ok, you are on level 1 thinking here. I'm going to try and get you to level 2.
Ask yourself "Why is the SRO policy the way it is now?" If you start to question things a little deeper you would be amazed at the world it opens up.
IMO, the standing room policy has been changed because there are some fans that would rather not see people sit in equal or greater seats than them for less money. It's really human nature to be selfish so they can't be blamed. If these season ticket holders see these other people figuring out a way to beat the TAF system, then they'll try it too. That's when LSU steps in to change the SRO policy.
Funny thing is that the change wasn't needed until TAF got invloved in LSU baseball. Now we have clubs and grandstands and strict seating policies.
