App State FB Season Tickets Sold Out

[Turbine]

What are we asking for? 30k a home game. The Lafayette metro has just shy of 500k. We can’t get 6% of the area within 20 miles of Cajun Field to come to 6 games a year.

They haven't tried since 1982. (Sans Hud)

1982 was the year The Foster Agency came up with HOT STUFF "Seasoned Tickets"

Louisiana Hot Stuff (the store) stems from that drive.

Unfortunately, it was so successful some non-original tried to make the hot pepper the schools whole identity but that is for another story.

Louisiana NEEDS a massive ticket drive.

Promotion has been non existent since HUD! Coach Dez needs to get out and ask for our support. Be a little daring.. Geaux Cajuns!

It's mentioned in the email I got about UL Season Tickets..."Season ticket holders are eligible for exclusive experiences.." Anyone have an idea of what those are? Is that the number one reason publically given to buy UL FB Season Tickeds? You have to give consumers of any product a REASON to buy that product other than the obvious.

All those folks who got hyphonated titles a few weeks ago, in large part, have been here a year or more...So, what are we looking at. Where are the new CF features, what are the benefits, and when are they going to be announced, cause your selling season tickets NOW, why wait...Are there changes happening with RCAF? What are those and how does the casual or new fan benefit from them.

Its marketing, not brain surgery. This isn't that difficult...

BTW, LSU v FSU will be an espn game, that kick off will conflict with CF kickoff, expect the normal, "LSU is on TV..." excuses.

This school lives in a world filled with excuses and is happy to do so...

How will they use that excuse when the lsu game is the next day?

People having a terrible experience when spending their entertainment dollars and not returning isn't an excuse, its common sense. If people have a terrible experience at a restaurant or bar they usually don't return. People don't owe the university their entertainment money.

Let's give them credit for their tradition for years.

Now reality.

They are not 45 miles away from any P5 program, nor are they close to any program that has won multiple national championships since 2000.

App St. is 102 miles from Charlotte, 167 miles from Durham, 189 miles to Raleigh and 163 miles from Chapel Hill.

An interesting comparison would be UL and Ohio University where Ohio State is the big dog in that state like LSU is here. Ohio is Carnegie R1, has a Med School, has 28,000 students, is the oldest university in Ohio, and has several branch campuses. It is in the MAC with 5 other universities in Ohio (Bowling Green, Miami, Kent State, Akron and Toledo), not to mention Cincinnati and other FBS schools. And, it is only 65 miles from Columbus. It has an indoor practice facility and a 24,000 seat football stadium that it rarely fills. Ohio had only 38,530 total attendance in 2022 and 38,920 in 2021. That is an avg of less than 6,500 per game. One has to wonder how they survive with those attendance figures and what Ohio is doing or not doing to increase attendance and support for their program.

It’s like “Friday Night Lights”…generational which turned into traditional behavior. USL/UL never had a plan they could stick to.

Look no further than the Ragin Cajun Club, then years of nothing and now RCAF.

All bark, no bite.

Yeah, State is down the road. And yes, Huey gave us junior colleges (now universities)to the west and south that are basically an hour or so away. But nothing has ever been done to market and keep engagement 24/7/365.

Can’t even stay on task with the biggest PR move…Louisiana as a shorten name.

I went to the game a few years ago, and most of the tailgates and pregame parties had OSU flags, chairs, etc., And surprisingly a few LSU flags. Athens is a fun town and GameDay was a blast, but, like Lafayette, it belongs to another school.

Ohio does not have the party/Cajun culture that we have. All we really have to do is learn how to put on an event and embrace our local culture for tailgate and in-game. It is so obvious. LSU A&M is an excuse, most of Acadiana is not wanting to drive 40 miles down i-10 and sit in traffic. They just want to be at the party and we are far from that right now.

Watch how crowded Topgolf is when it opens, people want to be entertained, its not really about golf. To get 25-30k it's not about the football results, but are people having fun at your event. Now when you combine winning football with the fun environment, then you have something. As proven the last 5 years it has to be more than just wins on the field if you want to draw.
