Louisiana Bowl Eligible, Ticket Reservations Underway

[Just1More]

Not to defend the system currently in place, but give credit to Matt Casbon and his crew for doing a yeoman's job in a difficult situation. I know I got my call from him on a Sunday afternoon. I doubt that he has had a day off in weeks. The criticism of the system at be legitimate but the effort of Casbon and his crew deserves an attaboy.

Matt Casbon has done a tremendous job. I'm trying to figure out how an online system accomodates our specific needs better than what the UL ticket office did this time around. Are people talking about all RCAF members and season ticket holders being "in the system"? How can an online system accomodate people via the priorities (RCAF levels, season ticket holders, etc)?

What am I missing here? What "online system" takes care of limiting the number of tickets in a group by "UL priorities" and allows you to pay for this grouping of tickets with multiple credit cards? Are we seriously talking about developing a custom online system just to accomodate our bowl game ticket purchases? If you do not include the RCAF/season ticket... and eventually tailgate spot, etc, etc into the ticket distribution... what about having this "online" is so great?

They do not want a rational process. This is a individualized custom process taking care of the highest levels on down. Then you have in addition custom request to sit groups together.

No offense to anyone but they shouldn't take request to have groups sit next to each other.

I think it's fine as long as they all give at the same RCAF level. The way they're doing it now is to seat based on the lowest common denominator of giving, and I think that's fair.

I agree I don't see a problem with sitting groups together. Why penalize a group of people that all donate to the RCAF my group of 17 season tickets almost all have RCAF. We sit together all year and all most donate to RCAF so why should we not be able to sit together? She we all have just not donated to RCAF and got in the back of the line with everyone else? I think its only fair to reward those who are supporting the programs growth. Couple people in my group actually became RCAF members this year to get these little extra's. It is a reward.

I definitely agree with this. Just don't seat those who are not RCAF or Season ticket holders before you take care of those first two groups and definitely don't give them better seats than those who are yearlong supporters have been assigned. I bought season tickets this year to move up in line yet I got a worse seat and I have friends who ordered late and have not been to a game all year and they have a better seat. The proiority system is fine if adhered to. Know they have a tough job and they are doing their best, but some tweaking is in order

Don't have a major probelme with the system that "supposedly" exists. I do question how people who are not RCAF and not season ticket holders (I have season tickets but am not RCAF) were able to receive tickets before me and in a much better location 100 level vs 600.

Quick question. Did the people you speak of buy their tickets directly through the UL ticket office?

The reason I ask is I bought 12 tickets (6 priority, 6 non), and I'm not sitting in either group. The two people that I gave these tickets to are non-RCAF and non-season ticket holders, so technically they received their tickets before people like you and they're sitting in sections 111 and 113. To sum it up they did like moorecajun described and "piggy-backed" off of my benefits. The people you know may not be in the same boat as my group, but keep in mind that they may have gotten their tickets from other means, and that the ticket office maybe isn't trying to screw you over. Think what you want, but keep what I said in mind as well.

I think the goal should be eliminating the mystery that lies in the paper stacks is all. A simple plug in if populated correctly could make the process of gauging demand and roll out much more streamlined allowing the ticket office to push tickets the old fashioned way outside of Lafayette to surrounding cities

They got them from the ticket office with a regular form filled out. To be fair, that's what I did last year and was in 114 I think, so I guess I am one who people were mad at last year. I really would like to participate and become a part of the solution not just a complainer. Hope we can have that chance

Did you write on the back of your form in detailed rank of what sections you thought we're better than others? Not all seats in the 100's are good seats, I don't know why people can't understand that, last year we were on the 20 yard line on the 4th row from the field.... I watched half the game on jumbotron.

When you get to your seats in the dome, make friends with the Cajun fans around you. Your seats will miraculously turn into "great seats".
