Texas Tickets

[SMD7636]

Can our athletic department give out information to conference away games like Troy? This should be emailed to all RCAF members, especially Quarterback Club members, and posted on the UL ticket page with a method to purchase online.

I called the UL ticket office a month ago and received no information on the Texas game. It would be really helpful for planning purposes to know the ticket cost, quantity of tickets received, and location of our stadium seats. I am waiting to book a hotel in Austin until I know I will receive tickets.

UL is discouraging traveling to away football games. Go to Troy’s website on 6/22/21 and they are advertising all away football game tickets with detailed information, including pricing and how to purchase them. Is it too much to ask that UL run an efficient website and be transparent with information to fans?

This top ranked football team is doing their part and now the Athletic administration, RCAF, and fans need to do their part. This team deserves our support at both home and away games.

Guys, so much of this is out of the hands of our athletic dept. A few months ago even UT was not sure what the capacity would be. I received an email some time ago about how to get my name on the wait list for tickets and then about two weeks ago explaining what sections our tickets would be in. To my knowledge UL has not released the price for tickets, but you can probably budget $60 to $80 a ticket and if it’s lower, great. It it’s more, it won’t be by much.

The number of tickets we have is, and this is a total guess on my part, based on the contract for the game. This was probably done 4 or 5 years ago before we are who we are now. Texas is infamous for treating visitors poorly (I mean the university here and their arranging things, not necessarily the fan base, but it’s UT so be prepared for a level of pretentiousness and arrogance to which few programs measure).

I’d love to see this game promoted with billboards, in line ad campaigning, radio spots, et cetera, but the reality is that with about 2,300 seats the athletic dept. may be looking at waiting list longer than they have available tickets so why drop money a campaign for which we’ve already sold our allotment.

I do agree with you that I’d like to see a promotion for away games. Unlike UT, we could buy up 10,000 seats at South AL, but the university has to promote it.

Debating between just buying on stubhub. Don't want to wait around and tickets go to over $100 on stubhub

I bought 4 tickets in Section 117, which is one section away from the Cajuns fans section for about $78 a piece which includes all fees on Stubhub. There are still some available up there. Don’t wait!

You can always re sale them on Stub Hub again if UL gets you the number of tickets you need or sell the tickets you get from UL.

Yup! I'd much rather buy from the University then StubHub, but I'm not going to want to wait around and risk not getting tickets

Buy from the University, people!!!! We need to sell out the allotment. Good Lord, this is like a high school fanbase

You think this is bad. Just read posts on Facebook of UL football "fans".

Blame Texas. They are always _______s when it comes to catering to the opposing teams fans/ticket allocation. Our athletic department can’t give out info they don’t have.

Yup. Texas is notorious for treating opponents and their fans like $ hit when it comes to ticket locations and allotments. Our athletic department has been left in the dark on availability

LSU in baton rouge fans were disappointed when their 2020 game with Texas got cancelled because they wanted to return the favor for their visit in 2019

There were lots of LSU fans in the north end zone, no doubt purchased thru stubhub. Similar the year prior when LaTech visited.
The section reserved for visitors was upper north end zone I think.
One of my best friends (and fellow “USL” grad … yes we are old!) is coming down from Dallas for the game and got tickets near mine in Section 18.
Looking forward to a great game!!

Nope. No word yet on tickets cost. My deep cover sources tell me we will have between 2,000-3,000 tickets. Any word on if we are bringing the band?

As of now the band will not be going to this game. It would've been a great opportunity since the director's alma mater is texas, but I think we don't have enough funds to make the trip

Jeez, not enough funds for a 6 hour bus ride and hotel stay? I guess that rules out the band for any road trips. No excuse to not have, at least, a pep band for this game. Small-time, personified.

How many members are in the band?

How many members are in the band?

Let’s say 200. So you’re looking at 100 hotel rooms plus the cost to feed and rent 4 buses plus a few equipment trucks. Plus their tickets into the game. You’re looking at a few $$$ here.

Not enough..
