Athletic Ticket Appeals Committee

In the fall of 2022, LSU Student Government realized that there was no formal process for handling student athletic ticket appeals, causing them to slip through the cracks. The Athletic Ticket Appeals Committee is composed of three student representatives, a representative from the Athletics Ticketing Office, and a representative from the Registrar’s Office. They will meet to hear appeals for students who were deemed ineligible to purchase student athletics tickets. 

Students are highly encouraged to read through the committee's bylaws prior to submitting an appeal, so they fully understand what can be done for their situation. Please be advised that appeals will not begin being heard until after the the drop deadline for each semester.

Contact the Athletic Ticket Appeals Committee at ticketappeal@lsu.edu.
