Ticket sales?

[Saint Greg]

Thats cool, but I think he was talking about tickets to the NOB, not the Saints game.

In that case if there were some incentive in it for the saints I'm sure they'd do it. They try to sell us basketball tickets. They didn't before Benson owned the basketball team.

What is our allotted amount we are required to sell to hold up our end of the obligation for our payout

[RaisingCajun08]

I have always heard its around 17,000.

What do you think the reason is for the slow ticket sales compared to the other 3 years?

A) 10 am kickoff
B) Been there done that
C) XMAS/money
D) other

10 am kickoff is a killer. Put a bowl on TV at 10 am that no one attends.

[Cajunologist]

It's still 11k more than monroe sold.

I also think large groups have found that they can get tickets together for $10 a pop buying through various outlets in New Orleans.....

I'm not saying that we will have 40k+ as in the past, but I would attribute SOME of the hit in sales to this.

If we are being 100% honest and real, a lot of people, myself NOT included, think that the Cajuns secondary will get their ____ pushed in by Nevada and the Cajuns will lose this trip to NOLA. Add this thought process in with the fact that hotel prices are jacked due to the Saints game, the "been there done that 3 times now" attitude and the 10 am start time, I can kinda see where the here and there Cajun fan might not make the trip as compared to years past.

I have also always believed that Lafayette is very fleeting with their sporting support in that if it is hot, then everyone in Lafayette wants a piece (See Icegators, Cajuns baseball 2014 as compared to 2013, etc). Maybe it is just my experience but this year the New Orleans hasn't been made out to be the "hot ticket" as it was in years past. Not saying this is the case, but food for thought.

The N.O. Bowl falls before Christmas this year and the alumni bus won't do home pick ups. Until that changes, I'm not going.

Loses to LTU R, Boise, Ole Miss, all double digit and bad, loss to App state double digit also in our failed championship run. Maybe people are a little more realistic about where we are as a program and not as excited.

It takes a lot more than three or four seasons to erase decades of neglect. Add to that one of the most successful programs in America only fifty minutes away on a light traffic day. We have to re-earn respect daily.

The biggest thing though is the fifty years of neglect.
