Really excited about this game regardless of how many show up. Reading through the Facebook group I'm seeing 3 to 4 people who don't have a problem with the pricing for this game for every whiner. It is a shame though to see those who choose to complain about this. Had a family member come up to me at a birthday party on Sunday complaining about the pricing, and I'm thinking, "man it really has to be high school pricing or free" for people to not whine when it comes to UL. There are certain things I think we overcharge for (full season tailgating for example), but this game just isn't one of them. $50 to tailgate. $20 parking passes in the gates. Free parking outside the gates. $20-$50 tickets depending on seating choice. Nothing in that screams unreasonable to me. It was especially nice that those of us with season tickets were rewarded for that with $10 cheaper tickets. $100 even for my 3 tickets in the end zone and 2 parking passes. Took me less than 5 minutes to buy it all. How long did we beg for convenience without the fees? Long enough for me to realize and appreciate it now that we've got it.
I won't push the panic button on attendance yet based on sales to this point. Pending good weather I'm hoping for a nice walk up crowd. GEAUX CAJUNS! Those of us in attendance just need to bring it.
University told us today at least 10,000 tickets have been sold so far.
Took a look at an other “G5” championship games to see the lowest price ticket I could find. Didn’t dig too much. Most casual fans won’t. Just the first thing that came up in a search engine after looking specifically for a link through the university or conference.
MAC - $8, but that was resale on ticket master. Most were $15 and above. It’s ticket master so with fees, it’s much more than advertised.
AAC. Stubhub for $26. Fees will be added on too.
CUSA-$17.50 through Paciolan. So it’s really 17.50.
MWC-$35 through ticket master. You know the drill.
SBC-$20. And it is $20.
Don’t care to look at the “p5” but one could imagine it’s much more.
We have a deal for an NCAA D1 Football Conference Championship.
Have some friends coming this weekend who are Alabama fans. He asked how much the tickets were and I told him $40. He was amazed at how cheap they were. Lafayette just refuses to support the Cajuns for some reason. I hope they prove me wrong but from looking at the seat map this morning it ain’t looking good.
