Tigue reseating

[CajunAlum10]

Who said it was in favor of Johnny come lately? If you are a season ticket holder you should be an RCAF member. Where does Johnny come lately come into that? We probably have around 10k season ticket holders across all sports...2200 RCAF members.

I think he meant "Johnny Come Lately" because as of last season, we were SOLD OUT of baseball season tickets. And if we continue to be sold out, let's say, if we increase the minimum donor level and you lose a few hundred long-standing season ticket holders because of it, then Johnny Come Lately gets to snag them up because he has a bigger wallet.

For the record, I was planning on trying to move into the Chairbacks this year from my long-standing Section B seats, but damn... $300/ticket? During Christmas? In this economy? I think I'll have to renew at my lowly $200/ticket seats in Section B and just continue being happy as hell in my 1st base bleachers.

Its not a USL way of thinking. It's a reality of economics. I fully understand that athletics is a business, but this may push out some of us who have struggled to buy tickets for many years, even the years where we weren't great, in favor of a "Johnny come lately", who simply has more money to give. Yeah I know life's not fair and I should deal with it, but loyalty should have its rewards too.

Same thing with every single athletic program that wants to be amongst the big boys. You think there aren't some die-hard LSU loyalists who graduated from there and sat in Tiger stadium during the Curly Halmann years haven't had to relinquish their season tickets due to rising prices, and being replaced by band wagoners with more money, some of which said band wagoners have never stepped foot inside an LSU classroom?

"Oh, but we don't want to be like LSU!"

Well then we should be willing to settle for mediocrity with some good seasons mixed in every now and then if being comfortable is more important than progressing to compete on a national level.

At some point, everyone was a "Johnny come lately" none of us were here in 1898. Also why is it fair to everyone else to hold the entire athletic program back because some people might have to go from 4 tickets to 3? It's not just about you.

That is the same price that chairbacks were last season. I suspect that number will get bumped considerable for 2018.

Economy is hammering a lot of us. My baseball tickets might be the only thing I have left for UL but I consider them a mental health expense.

You shouldn't have to "pay to play" to get season tickets. Pay to play comes in with the quality of those season tickets.

[cajun4life]

I think we all owe a debt of gratitude to Scott Farmer for putting all the pices of this deal together fast enough to allow us to play all our home games at the Tigue.

You serious?

We shouldn't expect the same 2200 people to pay for everything

What was the cost of bleachers last year?

Ticket price is the same, but I think the Excellence fund cost went up. Im curious how many people will be trying to move in from the bleachers or will they decide to stay put.

[Esqueleto]

What was the cost of bleachers last year? I think patio boxes were about $185. There are now $300 each and you have to buy all 6 tickets.

Where are y'all getting the cost?

Wife & I were considering but will take a little more discussion.
