    The new season ticket requirements seem like they could have a very negative effect on season ticket sales this season. I'm sure everyone has seen the changes by now, but in case you haven't, if you have season tickets in sections D, DD, E, EE, F, or FF, you will have to make a $100 per seat donation to LTAC to be able to renew your tickets. I feel like alot of those season ticket holders, if they aren't LTAC members, will not renew and just buy single game tickets to certain games in the same section they currently have the season tickets in. It's not like all of those sections are sold out, are they? Just curious of everyone else's thoughts.

    I agree this will hurt season ticket totals, which are already kind of pitiful. Not the right approach IMO. Instead of doing creative things to get more people to buy tickets and fill empty seats, we are just squeezing more out of the small group of faithful fans.

    I've asked around with some of the folks I tailgate with out of 9 only 4 days say they will purchase season tickets. I hope that it's not indicitive of other locals. I'm already giving LTAC so nothing changing for me.

    It was a very dumb thing to do. It is disappointing we don't have someone in charge that can actually get people there- they try to run off those that have been there for years. They make it very difficult to be TECH fans!

    Thats about the same number for my group, 4 out of 9 season tickets will get renewed. It makes no sense to make this requirement when our stadium is nowhere near full.

    ...what you get when you hire an AD who hasn't a clue about how to grow a fan base or increase giving.

    He is a heck of a scheduling guru though.

    Re: Football. Louisiana Tech 2016 Football Season Tickets Now on Sale - latechsports.

    I posted my thoughts on this in another thread but EVERY CUSA school has been doing this as well as others. It is now the norm in college athletics. We are charging less than most among our peers. We can not afford to fall further behind we already have the lowest budget in the conference.

    I would like to think die hard fans are supporting the school by giving to LTAC and buying season tickets. If you have 2 season tickets it requires $200 to LTAC over the course of a year! Give $15/month and it's covered! Do you want to be a big time program or fall to the likes of ulm and ull?

    Yeah let's get rid of the guy who is actually getting things done! Ha, he built and completed the end zone building that has been a dream for over 25 years. He's already moving onto the press box which was on the unicorn level of dreams for athletics. Both giving us a chance to increase revenue and continue to grow the budget and athletics. What a clown, if only we had one sooner.

    Make this move when season tickets are a hot commodity. Season tickets will not be a hot commodity in 2016.

    You kid yourself. He is simply squeezing the current fans because he doesn't want to make the effort or doesn't know how to grow the fan base. This may generate additional money from some, but will run off others. When we sell the tickets enough to have a demand this could be done-we aren't there yet. It is very small minded.

    My guess is 90% of season ticket holders are already giving to LTAC. Some are already giving over and above the $100/seat level and sit in those sections. As stated, the new requirement doubles the giving for many to sit in those seats.

    This is not a good business move

    That's my biggest concern, is there is not enough demand for this to make sense. This is definitely something that would make sense in the future, but our fan base needs more building before implementing something like this. There are going to be alot of empty seats right in the middle of our stadium.

    We should be using incentives to gain new ticket holders not ultimatums for those who have held tickets since our AD was pooping green.
