    I have argued with them about this until I'm blue in the face - it's not a DISCOUNT, it's a price structure for seats that are not filled, so you don't have to qualify it under the NCAA guidelines - (FAMILY 4 x 4 plan) $44 gets you 4 tickets, 4 drinks and 4 hotdogs - additional tickets can be purchase at $8 each...
    UTSA has a deal called the three point play - ticket + drink + hot dog or popcorn for $12 plus if the roadrunners score 65+ or more you get a free whataburger coupon.

    So I walk out their gym with a Tech win and free whataburger! Tech ticket office needs some creativity especially for families

Butts in seats.

    There are quite literally countless ways to structure a promo pack to spur attendance, and Tech does little to none of it. Blame it on budgets, staffing, blah blah blah, who cares. Simple fact is, no one is taking accountability for building the Louisiana Tech brand through getting people to attend our sporting events.

    And enough with the free pizza for students. They're getting to the point where they expect it, if they're not already there. Change it up a little bit.
    You are right and it is sad that Tech can't be more creative

    Talked to Chris and the ticket office had been rocking today. Hope for a great crowd!

    If we're gonna start pricing closer to big boys (and even the NBA), then I suggest we promote family seating promotions, yes, in the upper blue section. (like the big boys and the NBA)

    There is a sponsor out there just waiting to latch onto a four-for-four ticket/concession deal.

    The box score says 5,805. It looked good on TV.

    Re: Tech seniors deserve to go out in front of packed house

    Think we ended up averaging 4,077 in 16 ball games this year

    That's 3rd best all time

    I think about 109 less per ballgame than last year - but we had a Thanksgiving tourney that was Friday, Saturday Sundaya

    Ad there was not as much effort on operation SELL OUT this year as there was last year cause we were not trying to one up the juco

    But the last half of conference slate at home we finished strong - 3 straight crowds over 5,000 and even against the F_U's we were over 4k

    And we have some VERY bad weather the last two Thursday's - our fans stepped up

    And its EXPENSIVE for a family to make multiple trips per week to the TAC

    If anybody knows this lady, please send me a PM with her phone number. I'll make sure she gets season tickets next year.

    It came down to vacation vs. season tix for us. My family chose the tickets.
    Have you considered those Dogs?

    On the same night, that woman could have taken her kids to ULM for a basketball double-header for $5.00 per kid (12 and under, I think). I'm certainly not equating ULM basketball with Tech's, but if we're trying to get the casual fan hooked on Bulldog basketball, we're not doing enough to encourage them. What good are empty seats doing Tech?
