Gtj007 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 Where do I find info about tailgating and how do you reserve a spot?
Guest coachacola Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 Don't they go on sale Saturday? How did you get your ticket so soon?

lu cards Posted January 21, 2010 Author Report Posted January 21, 2010 no inside connections.cardinal club members could buy them today.got a letter last week letting us know.
LCM2LU Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 $500? Seriously? $100 to park at the Montagne? Guess there won't be any actual students tailgating! lol

Guess there won't be any actual students tailgating! lol [/quote]That's a good observation. But I guess 5 students can go in and get a spot @$100. $20 per student for 6 games. $3.33 per game. Or, just "make the rounds" - Frat and Sorority tents etc.

Guest coachacola Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 I read in the Beaumont Enterprise that they've already sold over 1000 tickets to Cardinal Club members. That seems like a good start considering they have started selling any tickets to the general public.[quote]Q. How can I get the best seat possible?A. Arrive early. Roughly 1,000 tickets have been sold to Cardinal Club members, and a majority of those tickets are for chair-backed seats in the gold section, said Brad McGowan, LU's assistant athletic director for development. The stadium will seat approximately 15,300, so plenty tickets remain. [/quote]http://www.beaumontenterprise.com/sports/local/82321812.htmlI'll be conservative and say the average ticket sold was $225, which means Lamar has already sold $225,000+ worth of tickets, not counting parking.
Cat22 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Posted January 23, 2010 Got mine this morning as well as tailgating parking pass. Season can't get here soon enough!!
Bruce Posted January 23, 2010 Report Posted January 23, 2010 Got mine this morning as well. Parking seems to be going fast, they already sold out two of the lots by the time I got to the line (and I was about 40th in line this morning :)). They did say that they were going to sell some blocks of four tailgate spots in the main Montagne lot now.
ForeverADog Posted January 23, 2010 Report Posted January 23, 2010 212 people when the ticket office opened at 7. And approx. another 200 has come in after the early rush. And bought them when the line died down. Great showing IMO
TexasTerror Posted January 23, 2010 Report Posted January 23, 2010 [quote name="mffl" post="748574" timestamp="1264273325"]Sold 901 season tickets today.[/quote]So, about 2000 tickets total between the 1,000 bought pre-sale and this bunch?This was a good day for Lamar and the Southland Conference!Hopefully, we'll have more good stories like this from not just the up-starts, but the programs who have been around for some time...
Lazeek Posted January 23, 2010 Report Posted January 23, 2010 So about 2000 season tickets sold............not exactly what I was hoping for!!!
LUFAN Posted January 23, 2010 Report Posted January 23, 2010 LAZEEK Come on it was one day... We have over 8 months til football season. I think 2k tickets sold so far is not bad at all.
Guest coachacola Posted January 23, 2010 Report Posted January 23, 2010 I think it's a pretty good start after 1/2 a day. These are the hard core football fans who wanted the best seats. Now the rest of the public can just call or order tickets online so over the next 7 months they should sell at least 3000 more. If they reach 5,000 season tickets sold that wouldn't be too bad. I was thinking they'll see anywhere between 5K and 10K season tickets, although selling 10K is way too optimistic. Doesn't McNeese average around 6500 a year? I think Texas State with their 30K students only sell 2K or 3K season tickets a year. By SLC standards Lamar will do alright.
lu cards Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report Posted January 23, 2010 there were more than 1000 sold presale.closer to 2000.

They had that barometer on their web site, for some reason I want to say it was closer to 8k than anything.Can not remember what TXST sold. They had the big speedometer on their web site for "The Drive". The number jumped dramatically when the Fields gave their donations for the tickets.
ForeverADog Posted January 24, 2010 Report Posted January 24, 2010 TX state only averages about 7000 people and they went to the postseason last year and barely missed it this year! So Lamar is looking pretty good so far!

AggiesAreWe Posted January 24, 2010 Report Posted January 24, 2010 He was just counting the Texas St. fans, not the visiting teams fans. ;) ;D
ForeverADog Posted January 24, 2010 Report Posted January 24, 2010 No way. They might sell that many tickets but they don't have that many people there. I go to about 3 games a year and its a half full stadium everygame. The whacker only holds 15000.
