Exactly what I was thinking. There must be a TON of non-renewals. Us being one of them. Maybe if they sweeten the pot a little more

We are getting another week. Until April 4. I'm waiting on a check from Vanguard (long story). If it comes in, I renew, but not putting any more debt on a credit card. If I can renew I look forward to upgrading. Otherwise I will just buy on stubhub or whoever for the games that don't conflict w/ Wesleyan. Those games are more fun anyway.

I think that’s a new commitment that prices are not going up next year right? I’d just assumed next year would go up with the number of home games growing then.

^^^ I think that was the plan. Had to rethink it.

Refreshing in that free market trends rarely make an appearance in TCU circles but in this case, the people spoke and seem to be getting the desired result. But look out in a couple of years….

TCU way overplayed their hand with this price increase. Like I've said before, the need to generate additional revenue doesn't mean you can ignore basic supply / demand metrics. The demand is simply not there with the current product TCU provides.
Last season was not as successful or exciting as TCU is trying to pretend it was. We weren't relevant or in the conversation for being a conference contender at all last season. And let's not forget the season before that was a miserable 5-7 performance. Last year we beat the bottom half of the big 12 and won an irrelevant bowl game. Big whoop. Our upcoming home schedule of 6 games and no exciting out of conference opponent is also uninspiring. Lastly, the gameday atmosphere has grown terribly stale and unimpressive.
Add in NIL killing the allure of college spots and an economy where data shows the consumer is hurting and cutting back on spending, for TCU to think this kind of price increase was going to result in anything other than a disaster is completely delusional and out of touch.
They 100% intended to increase prices next season too. Multiple people in the ticket office told me this.
This latest email proves that TCU is in crisis mode. Renewals have gone terribly. They are scrambling to somewhat rectify this mess they created.

I think it was previously stated that they would not go up next year and that TCU plans going forward to have no fewer than seven home games a year, so basically tough it out this year with the increase and six games.
And don't ever count JerryWorld as a home game.

Like pay plans with Affirm? That’d be a horrible sign of the times.

They need to do what Rooms to Go does. No money down and no payment till 2027.

No - a 0 interest payment plan that every other major big 12 / big ten / SEC program has been using at least 7 years
We are way behind the times - and it’s hurting attendance

I would assume atleast a pro rated increase to account for the extra games. Might cause people to actually calculate what they are spending on the body bag game. I know every program in America pays the same for the bodybag game just like every pro team makes you pay for pre season games. It still annoys me.

He is not the one who put this together. A little early to blame him.

Not a great first impression to alumni and fans if you’re AD Buddie. Fans were already mad at the last one, and now you’ve given them a reason to be mad at you. I think Buddie will be a good AD, but this was not the right thing to do as one of your first moves as AD.

Was I supposed to type something here?
Mr. Buddie probably has more than a few bombs yet to go off, courtesy of the previous crew. How he navigates the minefield ahead will tell us a lot.
This ticket fiasco doesn't put him in the best light. He knew what he was getting into. No one in his position would not do his due diligence on upcoming events, and the season ticket purchasing was the first item on the agenda. It could well be that the extension, and re-extension are his calls, as well as the non-increase for next season. He is juggling a hot potato...
