    I believe the cost stayed the same. The overall cost, not cost per game.

    I don't get that. There's no real marquee game this year and there's 2 less home games than last year. I would expect this year's season tickets would have gone down.

    I'm not BS-ing you when I tell you that the canned reply (which I assume is and edict of our AD) is this, "right, but we only played 5 home games in 2016 and we did not go up for 7 games in 2017"

    In other words, they were stupid TWICE.

    This --

    Alternating 1-1s with the juco and the Cajuns. Tulane too if they'll return our calls.

    For a money game, play in BR as often as they'll have us. Otherwise, we should only play our guarantee games at Big12 venues.

    Yall know I'm not opposed to playing 2-for-1s or playing in S'port. But it needs to be the right opponent, good money, and all out marketing & promotion.

    If we must play a FCS game, it should be Louisiana schools only. And they should only be scheduled when we already have 5 FBS home games and have room for a 6th.

    Yeah that's crazy. Season tickets have always been for suckers who care more about the school than their money. Unfortunately I don't think that is a lot of people. I defended the decision to require an LTAC donation for seats between the 30s. I wouldn't say I loved it but I didn't think it was as big of a deal as people made it out to be. Unfortunately a lot of people that were pushed out by that realized that they could just buy individual tickets without any penalty and then they aren't paying for the games they don't attend. Unfortunately for the school they aren't attending nearly as many games as they were when they had season tickets. I supported the decision initially, but I don't think it has been a positive one. There is a reason we don't publish our season ticket sales.

    I don't like losing, and I'm sure most Tech fans don't. But losing the way LA Tech did in Baton Rouge this year was far more acceptable than what we witnessed in Starkville. Yes, our team COMPETED in Baton Rouge, and didn't quit. Good LA Tech fans can accept a performance like that. However, in Starkville, our team laid down and quit. Our team looked below FCS standards. It was truly an embarrassment for Tech fans everywhere.

    Back when I had season tickets and there wasn't a premium on the between the 30s seats I noticed that you save absolutely no money. It was the same per game. If I missed one game I lost on the deal. I could not support an extra fee for between the 30s seats unless they were selling out, which they were and are not. Our AD and the whole athletic department have no concept of supply versus demand. The only seats with a waiting lists were the box seats. I am guessing that might go away soon. They do not care about attendance. I really don't know what they think is important but their own jobs. Let the rich SOB's who support them enjoy their sorry team by themselves in their super suites. Remember they're having a wonderful game day experience. The rest of the stadium will soon be empty.

    Exactly, it is getting worse. Our $250k per year AD isn't doing anything about it.

    Remember it still took us an entire half and change to get the engine started against lsu.

    Yeah. It’s getting harder and harder for me to buy season tickets. I can pick up single game tickets for the games I can make for the same price OR even cheaper. Between the 30s is always available for single games especially late in the season. Homecoming had plenty of seats available between the 30s

    True. But at least we scored 21 points instead of 3. Three points is only 3 more than a team full of dead people could have scored.

    If I go I want tickets on the first row of the upper section. I thinks it's row 26 -- maybe 25. That way no one can stand in front of me. Of course I could probably sit almost anywhere now and there would be no one in front of me.

    Are Tommy's enforcers still down there to make sure no students move down a few rows when the stadium is empty in the 4th quarter?
