Oct 7th Tailgate

Does anyone know the cost and place to go for getting an RV spot for the October UL game. I have someone online telling me, the university is trying to charge him $500 for 1 game.

I saw that too. Didn't see the price, but apparently they are going more than double what tsab is charging so they are going there instead.

He told me they wanted to charge him $500 dollars. That is absolutely insane if that's the case. I pay $1100 for the year. If that's correct, no wonder all the diehards are tailgating at this point.

When you select the item from the bottom it says the price $400 dollars for a tailgate spot. I now why no one gets single game spots.

So if anyone isn't using an RV spot on the 7th I know of someone willing to purchase the spot for $180 bucks.

LSU offers single game RV passes for $100-$250 on River Road. A good bit further walk than Blackham to CF.

Their (LSU) RV lot right next to stadium cost $7000, and the two RV lots a little further away are $1400.

$400 right next to stadium with hookups doesn't seem bad in comparison (more like a steal). Maybe offer $100-$250 spots at Blackham for less premium RV spots? Did that during Hud's tenure.

In analyzing the current utilization and market dynamics surrounding our RV tailgate spot, it becomes evident that we face a challenge in maintaining its appeal and revenue generation. A core principle of pricing strategy is that demand should precede premium pricing. However, the RV spot's diminishing allure prompts a reconsideration of our approach.

Historically, the inception of the RV lot was met with exuberance and fervor, characterized by a full house and palpable excitement. Regrettably, the present scenario no longer mirrors this enthusiasm. Consequently, it is worth contemplating a strategic shift in pricing to reignite interest and engagement in this offering.

One potential strategy is to institute a dynamic pricing model. This system would respond to fluctuations in demand by lowering prices during periods of underutilization and increasing them when demand surges. This dynamic approach aligns with fundamental economic principles and has the potential to optimize revenue streams while simultaneously preserving the sense of exclusivity.

Additionally, the introduction of targeted promotions and packages tailored to less popular times can incentivize patronage. Discounts, bundled arrangements, or unique experiences associated with the RV spot could be strategically deployed to attract clientele during periods of lower demand.

To address the prevailing stagnation in excitement, it is imperative to engage with our RV enthusiast community and event attendees. By soliciting feedback and incorporating their suggestions for enhanced amenities, activities, or entertainment options, we foster a sense of co-creation and ensure that our offerings align with their evolving preferences.

Effective communication and marketing strategies are equally pivotal. Ensuring potential customers are well-informed about RV spot availability and any ongoing promotions is critical. By leveraging targeted marketing campaigns and fostering a sense of anticipation, we can drive interest and ultimately bookings.

so lower the price to get them in, and once in jack it up? and you think there wouldnt be 500 facebook posts about it like that guy from earlier today? the problem with a lot of our fans is that they think they are owed something, like being a Cajun fan is a sacrifice and since they are sacrificing by being there that they should receive something more than fair market value. you think our fans would sign up at a cheaper price, watch demand grow, and then when prices are raised their response would be "i completely understand, i'll move along quietly" i think there is about 85-90% grandstand tickets sold for baseball, and there was a 20 page thread with everyone complaining about reseating, or a price hike that wasnt even true. com'n man.

I don’t care if it’s $400 for a RV spot on the 50 yardline. We cannot continue to charge these prices for the product that is being put out. A phone call was made about renting out a tailgate spot. Instead of charging $150 or so for a single game spot that is not being used, the space will remain unused for $400. This does not make any damn sense.

I think we all saw the same post on Facebook. And comparing where each spot is in regards to either UL or LSU’s stadium is irrelevant in my opinion. I think the general point of the post is correct. We are outpricing our fanbase.
