Selling unclmed spots isn’t kicking someone out. What price point should be? Should be a bid process starting with a full season to game day only.

Great point by 71, and even weirder that their other events schedule clears up and ours doesnt is that if i am not mistaken our schedule is usually announced sooner

For the record, I’m not all in on free, first come first serve, but will say it’s not the end of the world if the admin decides to try it. Need some shock value to spark interest. Also, whether you want to believe it or not, some of you “30 year loyal fans” will get priced out or hurdled by big money if we do get to the point we want to. Just look back to the point system that had to be implemented for post season tickets because some got their panties in a wad after big money poured in for the access to tickets.

Edit: point is simple economics. Demand is low, supply is high. Lower prices now until demand increases. When that flips and shows sustainment, raise the prices.

If you ever look for "happenings" around Tiger game days...there are none. They know its a LSU game is peoples priority. Search around when they're away and its a full list. UL has never, ever, positioned being at CF as a priority...when they have (see last years App games) its worked. Thats all due to marketing, getting ahead of the curve with scheduling, etc. 5 Saturdays (and 1 weeknight game) a year. Theres 45 other weekends to get the other stuff done.

Sounds like your kids were not into these things. There's people missing Tiger games for the same reasons.

Yes, my kids were involved in all of that and more, like Pony Club events...Now, my kids are grown...where they did grow up, 90% of those sorts of things were done on weekday afternoons or Saturday mornings...it was all over by mid day. Again, its about (as much as possible) making a UL game the event of the weekend. I used BR simply as a reference. If I looked hard enough, could probably find a bunch more...I'll never fault parents for missing an event because of a childs game etc. What I will do is call out those who continue to schedule competing events against UL Football. Like I said, 5 Saturdays out of 52 weeks...

That's the thing, rarely anything is during the week anymore. These weekend events start at 8 am Saturday morning then go all day long and some go into Sundays. The people putting on these events don't care about football, it's all about making the most money possible. Keeping people at their event for a full day keeps the cash flowing to the concession stand.

Spots that weren’t sold were available this year on a game by game basis. If one wants to argue they didn’t do a very good job advertising that one would have to agree.
