AU has never offered UGA in any package save TUF member season tickets.

Clearly you need to read a wall of Facebook text and get that fiyah back. You are not Auburn...

How the hell is Auburn supposed to keep up pay for play with this attitude? Don't you guys care about football any more down there?

Reason I am not going is due to money. Costs to damn much to take the family when I can sit in my 3000 sq ft house and drink beer and watch it in HD.


If you can afford a 3000 sq ft home then you can afford tickets

That Blue Pack looks appealing...

I just got a call from the athletic department asking why I haven't bought any tickets yet. I told the dude I have two little ones and I have gotten priced out of going to a game.

I would never pay TUF when you can just pay for season tickets outright.

I think he's saying it's not a good value in his opinion vs. staying home and watching from the comfort of his own living room.

I could afford to fly down to Baton Rouge and attend a lot of LSU home games. I choose not to. Not because I'm poor but because I don't think it's a good value vs. going to a bar here at home and watching the game with other LSU alums. I save a shitload of money and still get to pal around with other LSU fans. And I have more money to spend on other things or to save for a rainy day.

They seriously have LSU and UGA tickets available


As part of packages...they'll be gone by game time. Atlanta and birmingham fans don't wnat to make the 2 hour drive watch Alabama A&M game or whatever other cupcakes they're packaging the tickets with.

also the packages don't include both uga and lsu. I don't like how they're split up and instead buy individual tickets myself.

Stop complaining and buy some damn tickets. We have that big arse sign to pay for. The one they are hanging today. That shite isn't cheap. When the athletic dept calls and passes you the offering plate, you open up your heart, and your wallet.

I haven't gotten any calls yet, maybe because I haven't posted online about my 3,000 ft home yet. On a serious note I'm surprised that we still have them available after the way we sold Clemson tickets.

effin' crazy!!

You could hang out in the parking lot, like the Swamp people do, and pick on the older rival fans. They do it every week there's a game in Red Stick!

I would rather save my money to go to the gulf on my fishing trips. Have to pick and choose. Would rather watch game and go fishing then to go to the game and watch fishing.

Nowadays the nice big charter boats have HD Sat TV. You can go fishing, drink beer, grill out on the big green egg and watch the game(s) at the same time.
