Would You Buy Ole Miss Season Tickets To Watch LSU?

Sorry if I take up some "down time" on this issue, but this is a first...

Jamie Pollard, the Iowa State AD, has declared no more single ticket sales to Iowa fans for the "In-State Game". Iowa fans will have to buy Iowa State season tickets if they want to come to Ames for the game.

Historically, Iowa fans buy 20,000 single tickets for the game.

Here's the Iowa Retaliation Plan... Iowa is considering opening Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City to allow fans to watch the game on the Big Board. The Iowa Athletic Department believes they could draw a crowd of 50,000 for a game that was actually being played in another stadium. (I think we could fill the whole damn place).
In addition, once approved (there's a TV rights issue) the Iowa Athletic Department is considering sending a solicitation to ESPN's GameDay program to invite the crew to do the first ever GameDay telecast from a sold out stadium that has no game.

So, what would happen if Ole Miss, Tulane, whoever, decided to pull this stuff on you???

 

not for ole miss...maybe alabama now that the game will be fierce

 

I might consider it if I thought I could sell the most if not all of the other games to recoup some of my money but I really couldn't see that happening. I think the best bet would be to scalp some on gameday. That has always worked for me.

As for watching a game at Tiger Stadium being played elsewhere, I don't think I'd ever do that. The screens are way to small to watch a whole game on. Plus I'd rather have access to food and beer. I would definitely up for tailgating on campus for an away game and watching it at the tailgate.

 

I think a few years back Tulane refused to sell individual tickets to the LSU baseball game. I think you had to buy three other games to get tickets for that game.

 

I could see this happening for LSU-Tulane baseball (and we should do the same in kind if they do that to us).

But in no way do I see this happening for the Superdome. Tulane is on pace to have the largest attendance for a single home game ever this fall when we play them in the dome. Of course, we'll be 75-80% of the fans, if not more, and they'd be crazy to risk that sort of revenue by forcing us to buy other tickets.

 

I don't think anybody will beat the record set when they opened the new Padres' field. over 40,000. The most LSU-Tulane could ever get was around 28,000.

 

Yeah, yeah but that was a new park, with Tony Gwynn coaching SDSU and I think the tickets were either incredibly cheap--or even free. I still think getting nearly 30,000 the old-fashioned way is more of an accomplishment!

 

I never said they didn't cheat. Absolutely a shady record.

 

Ole Miss will receive no money from me, except for the taxes they take from me every week. I will in no way support that college.

 

It sounded to me like fred was referring to the LSU-Tulane football game in the superdome, not an lsu-tulane baseball game. I think he is right about the fact that it will probably be the single highest crowd for a tulane regular season home game in the dome.
