Is that what it says? $20 a season ticket is an easy donation.

Tickets sold, season ticket sales for attendance reporting purposes will get a nice bump.

I'm in, but I'm not finding it on the website. Here's the link from the school. The click over from the article just takes you to the general ticket purchase page.

Also, who the hell runs the social media pages for the school and various sports? There's no reason this shouldn't be blasted out all over Facebook and Twitter and pinned to the top of their pages, but I had to find the link by digging myself on ragincajuns.com

Absolutely. A month out from the opener, we've probably sold all the regular season tickets we're going to sell, and many of these seats wouldn't have been sold as walkups anyway. It's far from full price, but it's extra revenue, good PR, and just a good thing to do. As I said in the previous two posts, the execution is lacking for me personally to this point. But it's a great idea.

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.

.....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!!!

.........OK just solved part of the problem.....Brock, we get your dad to have say 3 buses sent to every school (probably middle and HS) in da parish......some teacher/parent supervision.....drop them off and bring them back to school....expand after Vermilion is successful!!!

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