Why are you asking me about Bass Hall?

In the end, TCU athletics is entertainment, so I was curious as to what the cost of other cultural entertainment costs in DFW and whether the cost difference was justifiable given the "worth" of the event. I just used Bass Hall as an example...as opposed to another sporting teams. Are the new ticket prices so out of line from other forms of entertainment?

Maybe not for people that can afford country club memberships and S-Class payments.
For the rest of us, yes it's out of line. $150 / person + parking + concessions for 6-8 weeks in a 3 month period is out of line relative with any other form of entertainment I enjoy.

My wife and two other couples make it out to dinner once a month. We could easily drop $100-$150 per person for dinner, but that is our only entertainment. If I lived in Fort Worth and was able to go to 6 home games a year, would it have an impact on my dinner budget? Absolutely. It is more about whether going to TCU games are a priority or not, not necessarily the cost.
FWIW, after I graduated TCU in the 90's I had football and men's basketball season tickets, and I wasn't really making bank back then. I get that it way more expensive now (as percentage of earnings), but it was my entertainment back then.
Of course we have people on this board that think that TCU-Utah is not a compelling match-up. Sure beats TCU-UTEP.

$150 per person for dinner every month? Tell me, is Del Frisco's still good as when I was down there? And even then, that's once a month. TCU is asking you to do it two or three times a month.
Up until this year, TCU season tickets were a pretty good value, somewhere around $60-80 a ticket, and that included a game against UT or OU plus Texas Tech and / or SMU. I think people could justify that.
Now they are charging double that for a less compelling schedule, so back to your original question: Yes, the new prices starting this year are out of line.

I am in Chicago, a couple of cocktails and appetizer and an entrée...$100+ easy per person.

I guess what is worth it to me isn’t worth it to somebody else. Without major league football TCU is Abilene Christian. As I said earlier they will be heavily discounting single game
tickets each week. I suggest they let the other team (Tech) buy tickets and put the bands where they can be enjoyed. The Tech game this year could have been a sell out, but “keep it purple” was a flop. Now I hear talk of making the season start in mid August so the championship game will be better placed for Ohio State etc. TCU will be saying come on August 15 at noon ( because TV can abuse the players and fans however they want to)
to watch Frogs vs Prairie View for ridiculous prices. Probably if Prime were our coach I would find it worth it. We would be building a statue of Travis Hunter right now!

Sounds like renewals are not going well…the number of reminder emails has been frequent

From what people were saying on what they were raised to, I am sure they are thin.
Did they think it was a good idea with what many of us knowing this was a hollow 8-4 season.

You don’t think 8-4 with a New Mexico bowl win is a huge accomplishment for a coach who makes over 6mm a year?
You’re a Debbie downer!!

I really don't want to dump my two season tickets because I like who I sit near but TCU won't let me keep one of my season tickets because it will leave a single seat. So even if I toss those seats back and try to get a single ticket I can't get one of my old seats because of the leaving an empty seat BS. I'm pretty much screwed if I try to get a single seat in my current section. TCU just has little compassion for a longtime season ticket holder.

They sent you a separate email saying you have to move? Or buy the 3rd seat?

I called and asked last year and was told I couldn't leave a seat open. I understand it but I wish they could show a little love to a long time (25 plus years) season ticket holder.
