    What I am getting at is: LSU (and other schools) charge the same price to watch any baseball game, be it UL, McNeese or the #1 ranked team in the country. The price is the same no matter the opponent. You do not have to donate to TAF to get anything except season tickets. (((I AM A CAJUNS FAN and simply using LSU as an example, so please do not tell me to go to Baton Rouge and support LSU)))



    This comment from Frenchie35 goes along with what I am saying. I do not like to see when our most loyal fans of many years who have always been with the program through good and bad times are required to donate to RCAF to simply attain a ticket to a single regular season game. You are telling a fan of many years to stay at home while some RCAF member has his wife sitting next to him reading a book, not watching the game, not cheering and will probably leave early.

    With that being said, I support the RCAF. I think it is great and should utilize a point system which is used to award things such as season tickets, bowl game tickets, etc. I do wish there were certain projects we could put money towards (like upgrading the windows on the press boxes). The whole "master plan" is just a phrase that seems to have been created to pacify curious RCAF donors.

    Not everyone has money to donate to RCAF, but they still attend many games. I personally know fans who take their wives and kids to EVERY football game and many softball, baseball & basketball games. They easily spend in excess of $1K on tickets and merchandise over the year. I also know a few guys who went to maybe one football game last year then donated $100 to RCAF to get a decent NO Bowl ticket, which is less then $200 total over the last year. Which of these two scenarios is better for UL athletics?

    Once again, not complaining, just trying to see how others feel on the subject.

    GEAUX CAJUNS!!!
    You're only using one school as an example. My point is that charging different prices based on the opponent is standard practice, especially recently. It's that way for High School, College, and the Pros. If you didn't notice UL's football tickets were different prices for different games as well. LSU is a bad example as they don't need to raise more money from ticket sales. That's a luxury we don't have.

    The main reason they are only selling to RCAF members is to keep the LSU fans and scalpers from getting tickets. That's also commonplace among college programs and a good idea. We don't want a sea of purple and gold at the Tigue.

    I hear what you are saying about the loyal fans. As a loyal fan who isn't a big time donor I feel the same way at times. It ticks me off that I was one of only 2,000 people at games during the Baldwin Era but my New Orleans Bowl tickets were in the 600 level. I get it. But that's the price of success. There are thousands of loyal LSU fans who can't afford to go to games, or who get left out of things because they don't give enough. There are thousands of Alabama fans who show up to every sporting event but were passed over for national championship tickets because they didn't donate enough. That's just the way it is. A big, loyal fan base won't do much to get UL into a better conference. A bigger budget will. We need big donors more than we need loyal fans. Or better yet we need to do more to entice the loyal fans to become bigger donors. Giving priority to RCAF members is a great way to do this.

    I just moved from 2 bleacher seats to 4 chair backs seats. There are only 2 chair back seats available is my understanding or at least together. There may be some individual chair backs. Hope it is a great year for Cajun baseball, if not the beer will be cold.

    Geaux Cajuns!!

    you mean if sports teams didn't scalp the tickets?

    No I meant if sports teams chose to sell their tickets below the market price scalpers would buy all the avalible tickets and resell them at the market price.
