Just bought 5. It's a good idea to show more sold tickets, but I don't feel confident they'll get used.

Great job Dr. Maggard!

1. We previously gave these away. Now there's a monetary component. It's about the creating incremental value.
2. This promotion is specifically targeting the die hard UL fan. They know that we will give up an additional $20 without a problem. If 5000 of us were to purchase those tickets, we've just introduced 5000 more casual fans to Cajun Football. We hope they would come again.
3. Most of all this counts as an additional 5k in season ticket sales.

Great job Dr. Maggard! I'm all in for the #cULture. Geaux Cajuns!

It was like finding Waldo trying to figure it out but you have to go to the GA section then choose the option for donating the tickets. It's like $14 something before fees.

Thank you.

Given these are donations to non profits.....does this qualify as tax deductuble?

.....there is one thing that does concern me and that is filling the seats....sure great to donate and give the tickets to the needy, but make sure the needy butts are in the seats....this would seem to be a pretty big logistical problem but can somebody possibly explain the process!!!

I’ve often donated some game tickets to the boys/girls club in Lafayette. Always got a big thank you. Maybe hundreds or thousands might get to the United charities.

You are right on spot there Boomer. They sell tickets to corporation and they can't give them away. Therefore no butts in the seats. Three companies I know of always have tickets to give away. I know this for a fact. So this donation might raise a few bucks but the tickets will be sitting on someones desk or dresser. Someone mention $20 an another $14, is that per ticket or season tickets. As mentioned by Cajun Soldier, "$20 a season ticket".

Cajun Nation has made a HUGE impact. Over 1,000 Cajuns Care tickets sold. Make a difference in our community and make a difference on Saturdays 👇🏻 https://t.co/ye2aghB1mZ
