re: Tiger Stadium Student Section Seating - Whats your honest plan if you were LSU

Getting into the stadium is already a shitshow for us so now you want to make leaving a shitshow too?

if these numbers are accurate you can reduce the student allotment from 14,400 to 12,000 and raise the price $3 from $12-15 and make $7200 more PLUS whatever they sell/fee the 2400 tickets for. It isnt a money thing.

"The student section is the largest area where people don't show up," Broussard said. "If the level of play is not attractive, they will not come. It is interesting to see that that the club level and the suites have the highest attendance level."

As current student, I'm all for getting rid of any designated sections. The greeks get the best tickets and are the ones that leave the earliest.

I ok with the ticket ordering process as it is now. I don't want to have to get into line 2 hours before every game just so I can make sure I get in to the game.

Scanning out is retarded

As far as priority points go, make every athletic event a sporting event. Its dumb that some people can go to those individual priority point events only and get just as many priority points as someone who goes to almost every basketball and baseball game

Why is this interesting? They get to booze during the games and get A/C.

I don't understand why this is not the case

You fricking morons act like no one else in the world has ever been a student at LSU. That's the problem with your whole damn generation. The bottom line is you idiots don't fill up your section anymore. Time to sell those seats. Oh, and get the frick off my lawn punk

---

No, in fact its you morons that don't realize that the problems with the student section today are the same as the problems with the rest of the stadium.

The fact is, that with all the televised games nowadays, going to games and staying the whole time just isn't as valued as it was even 10 years ago.

Students leave games early for the same reason non students do

Try and sell Brandon Harris on Tiger Stadium with 12,000 students in the NEZ and the rest of the stadium empty.

I don't know how in the hell you got to this from his post

Sheesh, people. College is for the STUDENTS. Make it easier and cheaper for them to attend games.

---

It's only like $100 for season tickets... could it get any cheaper??

LSU Athletics needs to make more money to be able to compete with other schools and raising the price of tickets across the board is one way. Students should not be exempt from rising ticket costs.

A $12 to $15 is not a large increase. Maybe if the students paid a little more for tickets that would feel invested and think twice about missing the game.

I wish LSU would publish the actual attendance numbers this year for students and rest of the stadiu.
