Nothing is going to change so you might as well just give it a rest. Maybe you can be AD one day and try to fix it. Also stop acting like this is a TCU only problem. Go look how many tickets are for sale for Texas LSULet’s talk about The Carter...
It’s where fans show up late and leave early.
It’s where luxury takes priority over home field advantage.
It’s where you get to meet new faces every week thanks to the hoards of stubhub sales that TCU incentivizes with priority points.
It’s where our lower section behind the team bench is always the most empty and least enthusiastic section in the stadium.

This is good!
My post was primarily tongue in cheek just to get a rise out of some people, but I strongly disagree with your premise of blame deflecting and claiming that TCU's problems are simply the result of an uncontrollable, widespread problem across the country.Nothing is going to change so you might as well just give it a rest.

The only thing that continually upsets me, and is ironically literally set in place, is the spacing on the lowest west side seats. I've gotten to sit there a couple times and it's absurd how wide the aisles are... it's not even that enjoyable as a spectator, your drink is like five feet in front of you.

The concrete rows needs to be demo and re-poured. They goofed on the west side lower bowl when it was reconfigured for seating. I bet they realized at some point and it was too late to correct it during the original remodel.The only thing that continually upsets me, and is ironically literally set in place, is the spacing on the lowest west side seats.

It would be impossible to change/fix this issue(s) in one off season. The backlash would be too great.My post was primarily tongue in cheek just to get a rise out of some people, but I strongly disagree with your premise of blame deflecting and claiming that TCU's problems are simply the result of an uncontrollable, widespread problem across the country.
Sure. Ticket sales and attendance are down across the board, but there are some issues that are very specific to us that TCU refuses to address. And then they go make a promo video pretending like we have this epic home field advantage when everyone knows that we don't.
But I digress. If TCU stopped giving priority points to tickets that are purchased for sole purpose of being resold, and better yet, if TCU took away the tickets from fans that only resell them (other schools across the country have started to do this), our best seats would be in the hands of real TCU fans that actually sat in our stadium's best seats vs the current situation where a lot of our best seats (especially on the east side) are controlled by people that list them for sale on stubhub every week.
Tickets would still be resold online, especially for high profile games when some fans are willing to watch from home in exchange for the money they can make on a particular game, but these would be one off occurrences vs certain tickets be listed for sale every single game.
Overall, fans would come to more games because they would have better seats and have more enjoyable game watching experiences as they are surrounded by fellow frogs vs opposing fans every game. As a result, our game day atmosphere would improve, our home field advantage would improve, we'd arguably win more games, get better recruits, etc etc. Call it the trickle down effect of an intelligent season ticket policy.
But alas. TCU is too worried about the temporary hit on total season ticket sales to address this. At least that's been the case so far. I keep being told by the ticket office that ADJD is working to change things... guess we will see.
