They didn't give me credit for a home game last fall that I attended. They won't let me dispute the error because apparently the deadline to submit a dispute was November 18th.

That makes a lot of sense... set the deadline when 40+ points can still be earned. The game I didn't get credit for was before Nov 18th, but still, what a bunch of idiots. I don't even recall an email in November communicating this to students, which they claim was sent.

Anybody else having trouble with the ticket office for priority points disputes?

Anyone remember this email from November?

If I don't receive away game tickets because of the mistake they made, I'm going to lose it.

oh right... because you would just accept it and move on if the ticket office made a mistake and as a result, you were punished and not given the football tickets you ordered.

Give me a break

Just be thankful you're still a college student. I'd give anything to turn back time.

Although I do remember some kind of march on campus about tickets while I was there. It was called Students raising Hell About Football Tickets, aka SHAFT. I dont recall if it accomplished anything. I dont even think the team was that good at the time.

FWIW when the system was created, there wasn't a deadline.

Not a bad idea if you set one after all events occur... but in November??? Really?? I've yet to even find a student who remembers this email.

Did you talk to an actual employee or a student worker?

unfortunately, I haven't been able to speak in person or over the phone. I sent a very civil and respectful email to tickets@lsu.edu yesterday and just saw their reply.

I'm interning in the northeast this summer so I can't visit in person, and I don't get off work until 6pm or later, which is when the ticket office closes. I'll have to find a way tomorrow to get off a few minutes early so I can call.

a deadline that has never existed before and one that you were never notified about?

Hey mutha fricka, we got it the first time.

Now...educate yourself on the guidelines and deadlines so you don't miss out again this year. You don't have special privleges, guidelines are guidelines bucko.

Dear Student,

You can view your priority points by going to www.lsusports.net/studenttickets or by clicking here and logging into your student account. Please send an email for any disputes in points to tickets@lsu.edu with the subject reading “Student Points Dispute”. Please include your name, LSU ID number, and the game in question. You should see any corrections in points the following week. The deadline to submit disputes is November 18, 2009 for games prior to the November 7th Alabama game.

Sincerely,

As many stupid emails students receive during the semester and the fact that is during one of the more hectic times I don't fault any student for missing it.

Sucks it went down that way and hopefully it can get resolved.
