    This would not happen in the SEC. There is a rule within the conference that each school is required to provide a minimum of 7,000 seats to the visitor. The schools are welcome to offer more if they like (this usually happens between LSU & Auburn where they exchange 10,000+ tickets each year), but they cannot offer fewer than 7,000.

    Now, OOC games are more of a contractual agreement. When Virginia Tech comes in this year, we will likely give them just as many seats as they offered us way back in 2002.

    What are you talking about? VT gave LSU plenty of tickets. LSU fans were all over the brand new seats they had installed in one endzone. Granted, there were VT fans immediately in front of us, but it is not like that is any different from the visitor section in Death Valley.

    USL tried that. They weren't trying to keep LSU fans from buying them, they were trying to get usl fans to buy more than 1 game. not sure how it worked out for them. The LSU game was the only game you couldn't buy single tickets for. Sounds kinda illegal to me.

    Nothing illegal about it. No one has a RIGHT to tickets. No one is ENTITLED to tickets. If LSU said tomorrow that they were no longer selling single tickets & all seats would be sold as season ticket packages, they are completely in their rights to do that. Schools like UNO, Tulane, USL, etc do this all the time in sports like baseball & basketball where there is a higher possibility of having a big name school come to their home to play a game. Usually they will make tickets for that game only available as part of a package deal where you also have to buy tickets to several other games. There is nothing wrong with that at all.

    I can see where fans wouldn't like it but, as much as I hate to say it, it's good business if they can sell them in packaged deals.
