LSU fans seeking new season tickets will have an extra hurdle to clear to get a season pass to LSU athletic events.
New season tickets and parking permits will now be given out based on philanthropic donations a person has given to the University through the LSU Priority Point System, the LSU Athletic Department announced Wednesday in a news release.
Donations associated with tickets used to be included in the calculation of Priority Points for new season ticket distribution. With the new policy, only donations unassociated with tickets and parking passes will count toward Priority Point totals of people seeking new season tickets.
Donations unassociated with tickets include donations toward scholarships and construction projects. Donations associated with tickets include donations given to funds such as the LSU Tradition Fund, the TAF Annual Membership Fund and the TAF Annual Ticket Fund.
The new policy will not affect fans who already own season tickets or parking permits.
The new system will be in place by March 31, the deadline for fans to apply for new season tickets or renew current season tickets.
The procedure for distribution of away game and postseason tickets will not change. Contributions associated with tickets will still count toward Priority Point totals for away game and postseason tickets.
