EMAIL: 2025 TCU Football Ticket Info

[Double D]

Just received this email:

Dear Horned Frogs,

We had a terrific close to our football season with wins in our last four games and six of the final seven, capped by an impressive performance in the Isleta New Mexico Bowl. We reached nine victories for the second time in the last three seasons. Led by returning record-setting quarterback Josh Hoover, we enter the 2025 campaign and the opener at North Carolina with a lot of momentum.

Pending finalization of the House v. NCAA class action lawsuit, revenue sharing with student-athletes is scheduled to begin this summer. TCU will participate at the maximum level, enabling us to recruit and retain the top talent needed to put us in position to win championships. This commitment to compete at the highest level nationally mirrors Athletics being one of the four pillars in TCU’s Strategic Plan: LEAD ON: Values in Action.

In conjunction with this new model of collegiate athletics, staying competitive with our peers in revenue streams, meeting your demand for more home games and giving our team the best chance to contend for a Big 12 Conference Championship and return to the College Football Playoff, we made needed adjustments in our football scheduling. This fall will be our final season with just six home games. Moving forward, we will have a minimum of seven home dates each year. In fact, there will be eight games in Amon G. Carter Stadium in 2026.

This year’s finalized schedule with dates will be announced shortly by the Big 12 Conference. Per the previously released Big 12 scheduling matrix, our home conference games are Baylor, Cincinnati, Colorado and Iowa State. We also host Abilene Christian and SMU. As we plan for the future and distribute your season ticket renewal next week, you may notice a price increase in your section for this upcoming football season. The above factors were taken into consideration, along with market research that how we compared to fellow Big 12 Conference members and the DFW sports market in pricing. This was further evident in the demand for our tickets on the secondary market. These strategic data-driven decisions were made to keep us on a level playing field with our peer institutions.

Once you receive the renewal information for 2025, please feel free to contact our Parrish Family Athletics Ticket Office at [email protected] or 817.257.FROG (3764) for more information or to have any questions answered. Our goal is to keep Amon G. Carter Stadium in purple, at capacity for every game and provide the best home-field advantage possible for our student-athletes.

Thank you again for your continued support! It is more valued than ever. Go Frogs!

Sincerely,

TCU Athletics

The price of poker is going up boys and girls. Wonder what sections are seeing increases or if it’s a blanket bump up. (I didn’t get that email today btw.)

First big test for the new athletic director…might shoot himself in the foot if he gets too crazy on pricing

Raising ticket prices off a big New Mexico bowl win? Claiming prices should go up when opponent qualify drops…?

7th and 8th home games against body bag teams?

 

[NovaScotiaFrog]

That's a lot of words when they could have just said "get the lube and brace yourself" eh?

Maybe we can get specially labeled Frog Club lube and that be one of the free gifts we get for being members each year.

 

[FroggleRock]

So will the per ticket prices fluctuate depending on how many home games we have?

Purple lube?

"Honey, it'll wash out! I swear! It said 'non-staining' on the tube!"

Go look at most of the new college stadiums being built. They almost all resemble the base format of AGCS. But wow, KU straight up copied it.

 

[NovaScotiaFrog]

I hope they made sure to reseed properly and give rich people four extras.

Wonderful news for a guy who lost his job the first Friday of the year.

This decision likely made before new AD is getting here

This is one of the primary reasons I believe the former AD left, the significant challenges of TCU funding NiL revenue sharing with players each year relative to many public school alumni and donor bases.

I do expect TCU to pair down number of sports offered to cut expenses, go to 10 total sports with major men’s ones and then more on women’s to meet requirements.

So $30M / 45K seats is $650 ish per seat if they were to try to fund whole thing through football season tickets. Would expect they will do same thing with other sports with next renewals.

The Big12 may have to change its rules. There is a minimum number of Big12 Sports a school must participate at a varsity level (12? 13??) in order to maintain conference membership. It's one of the reasons BY has gotten pushback over giving a school like Gonzaga a 1 sport exemption membership, especially in a revenue sport.

Interesting to do the math on just football…Tennessee announced their price increase and it was 10-20% based on your seats.

For TCU, given the results…I don’t think people will tolerate more than $200/seat for the better seats..

Despite the spin, the last two years have not gone well.

I wasn't trying to make a statement but I didn't drive up there once last year.

You had to try really hard to blow that UCF game.

Just received the same email again. Must be a huge increase for this session.

They didn’t even send a pre-emptive email when they took some seats up 50% two years ago.

Being a strategic pillar, use some of the Endowment.

Second season with at least 9 wins in last seven seasons.

Yea I got the second one from a specific athletic department person. They have committed to the max revenue sharing (up to 22% of revenue in 2025) so assume ticket price is a place they can drive that number.

 

[Big Frog II]

I hope we don't have to get rid of some of our teams because of the NIL. Sadly I am afraid many sports teams all over the country will be going away. I just do not like the direction college athletics are headed. It just feels so out of control.

 

[Frog Wild]

I was on the fence about renewing, this makes my decision easier.
