If they build the booth, I bet we could find someone to staff it and probably get their pay covered.

Uhh, what's the story here? Seems pretty ridiculous to cut the sales staff at a time like this...

I called Bethany today to order my Tech ticket, and she said they were swamped, because of the big story in the DMN today. Pony Up!

I mean I understand why some might not decide to fork over $500-1,000 for the best seating but one would hope for a significant season ticket increase to at least the level we had when Ford opened. 40% of TCU's season tickets-come on we should be doing better than that after a bowl season


TCU's been good for 13 years. Any idea what their season ticket sales were in 1998-2000?

Let's get some B-school boys to figure this out! One student, three hours, selling tickets, at say $50.00, he sells two, three tickets during that period to people not willing to stand in line...breakeven?

This article discusses season ticket sales from 1998-2000 and beyond. Never states the season ticket sales for 1999 the year after TCU went 6-5 and beat USC in the bowl game. But by the following year 2000 they were up to 13,802 is season ticket sales
