Ragin Cajun Fan-to-Fan Ticket Exchange

How about this: If you are looking for tickets for free or willing to purchase them, start a thread asking for tickets.

If you have tickets to sell or give away, start a thread asking if anyone needs them.

Most folks will give tickets away if they are now going to use them. I have never asked anyone to pay me for tickets that I wasn't able to use.

...and thanks for taking kindly to my comments. They were in no way a knock on you, your idea, or the webpage you created. I was simply letting you know that when money starts changing hands it presents a wide variety of issues.

I didn't take them as a knock at all, I appreciate the feedback. Definitely agree on money exchanging being the wild west.

Even using it for free tickets will take money out of the University who is constantly seeking for and in need of additional revenue.

I really like this idea. I highly suggest holding onto it. I like the idea of being able to get tickets for a good price if I happen to be in Lafayette for the week. Thanks Red Tails!!

Temporarily true.

It could get Ordinary NonFans who have never seen a game (but will act on free) to go go to their first game and turn them into a money spigot for the University.

How do you figure? If I give away my paid tickets then that person will spend money on drinks and food. If I don't give away my paid tickets and don't go they in turn make nothing off of food and drinks.

If one can’t understand how having a place to get free tickets readily available before walking up to the ticket booth to acquire one up to game time can serve to diminish revenue, I really can’t help you.

I don't know if we need another Ragin Cajun Fan to Fan ticket exchange as a season ticket holder can either sell or transfer to anyone else tickets they aren't using through your Ticketmaster account. All you need to receive the tickets is an email address. I have transferred tickets to both RCAF and non RCAF members. You can do this for all sports that sell tickets. If you are looking for tickets, I suggest asking on RP or on the Ragin Cajun team or fan pages on Facebook. I'm fairly confident someone will have tickets they are not using. Also, this only applies to the regular season and not the conference championships.

Correct. And for the record me and WestUCajun always call each other when we need tickets or tickets to be taken off our hand. We try hard to get tickets used.

For football the value has already been diminished. I could go to every single home game and sit in good seats and never pay a penny. Folks are begging others at every single game to take their extra tickets.

You joined RP yesterday, what is your job at UL?

Unfortunately, not everyone knows about RP to start a thread about tickets. RedTails website would just be a place for unused tickets to reside, free works best.
