These season passes or whatever they are for students to get earlier than other students were purchased, right?


What? Student tickets are 100% free. For big games there's a line down the PMAC ramp to get in. There's a limited number of giveaway items and I'd bet that a bunch of students with no intention of going to the game showed up to get the giveaway and the students after them got nothing.

How about this: don’t give the swag away until after the end of the game if it’s so holy to have to weather the complete game?

That’s what they used to do at Candlestick Park for folks who stayed until the end of chilly Giants games out there:

Or just say I lost it if it is a paper ticket.


There's no such thing as a student paper ticket. All student tickets are via the app.

If LSU basketball was good, then this wouldn’t be an issue. Maybe they should fix LSU basketball first.

is football next? I know they don't give out as many gimmicks/merch, but students leave the games before or at halftime. I don't think it all has to do with product on the court/field. But...winning would help.

How can they possibly enforce this? All the students have to do is walk down the concourse to a non-student entrance and walk out.

You know who doesn’t have this issue? Winning teams

I have zero issue with the kids showing up, getting merch, and dipping. The team sucks, and the hats were sick af.

Put out a better product. Get a coach with a pulse. Win games. It's not hard to figure out. This is just a sign of the times, and the result you get for losing.

When I was there for the entire Wade era, the promo items were an afterthought. The games were live, and the team produced wins and plenty of NBA talent.

Solution: stop giving out the free swag to the students, give it to the paying attendees.

give it away at the exits / end of the game. Simple.


This is the answer. Lot simpler process.
