The two-day window to request football ticket packages for incoming students and returning students who failed to meet the 60-priority-point requirement begins today at 8 a.m. and ends Wednesday at 5 p.m., according to a news release.
Those students can register online to request one of two ticket packages. The purple package consists of Northwestern State, Auburn and Arkansas, and the gold package consists of Kentucky, Florida and Western Kentucky, all for $12 apiece. The Arkansas game is optional for purple package recipients because of the Thanksgiving holiday.
The release states the reason for the lottery is the “overwhelming” demand for student season tickets by upperclassmen.
Requesting a package doesn’t necessarily mean students will get that package. If the student’s name is selected and the package isn’t available, the student will be charged for the other package.
When the ordering period concludes, the LSU Ticket Office will begin a random lottery to select student ticket recipients.
Students requesting ticket packages will be notified of the results via e-mail by Aug. 31. Students who aren’t selected in the lottery will receive an e-mail at a later date about possible opportunities for student tickets to individual games.
University students must have at least a 2.0 GPA and be enrolled full-time for the fall semester to receive their tickets.
