Football season ticket pricing for 2025 announced

DALLAS (SMU) – With the excitement surrounding the Mustang football program and fans clamoring for 2025 season tickets, SMU has announced season ticket pricing for the upcoming season.

SMU football went undefeated in its first year in the ACC, launching the Mustangs into the College Football Playoff. SMU also had historic attendance figures, as a record 228,563 guests visited Ford Stadium, including back-to-back-to-back sellouts for the first time in stadium history. The season average attendance of 32,652 is the highest since 1986.

With Baylor, Louisville, Miami, Stanford and Syracuse coming to Ford in 2025, tickets are sure to be in demand once again.

In preparation for the new student-athlete revenue sharing model, SMU athletics partnered with Learfield AMPLIFY to conduct a data-driven study based on previous ticket prices, sales, secondary market activity and season ticket fill rates to establish our 2025 pricing model. Some areas will see slight increases, while some areas will see no increase until after March 31. Parking and Boulevard space prices will not increase.

Early bird pricing is being offered to ticket holders who renew or buy their season tickets by March 31, 2025. Please click HERE for 2025 football season ticket prices.

New season tickets buyers will also receive the early-bird pricing if they buy before March 31 and can be purchased HERE.

Following the early-bird deadline, March 31, 2025, season-ticket purchasers interested in upgrading their location will be invited to participate in a seat selection process guided by the Mustang Club Priority Point system.

Information on Mustang Club benefits related to parking, hospitality and recognition can be found HERE.

So.... I was going to post a joke about increased prices and seating but I that'd probably touch a nerve.

However, if you wanted to go minimum and go the tan route you could spend $21 per game and get to see Baylor, Miami, Syracuse, Stanford, Louisville, (plus one other).

Is there a better value in sports in the DFW metroplex?

Maybe folks preferred to spend $4 to see UNC-Charlotte, FAU and UTSA- I honestly don't even remember who was in the AAC at the end.

The new prices are appropriate to the product, and no one is getting kicked out in a dreaded re-seat. Good.

The young alumni seats are. They were sections 121-122 at $175 a seat. Now are moved to section 223-5 at $550/seat. Otherwise, minimal increases across the board

Fair. But of course, schools move sections like this, including the students and the band, all the dang time. The re-seat issue was more of a "you have to bid more money and then you'll select from the same available seats as before but yours might be worse now if others outbid you." It was at least an order of magnitude more offensive.

Is that $550 per season or per game?

Sections 108 and 120 are a bargain. However, I thought 108 was mostly used for recruits.

You can get individual tickets to the Stadium Club?

We were season ticket holders for the first time in 2024. The increase in cost will have us go back to buying specific games of interest and at times that match our schedule with less brutal weather.

The 4 hour drive, hotel, food, gas, game concessions, our mustang club membership and NIL money (drop in the box) closing on $10,000.

Maybe we are more casual fans than others, but I believe a focus on growing fans would have been better. SMU needs casual fans to fill seats and get eyeballs. Maybe a focus on selling out season tickets would have been better.

That said, maybe the market is ready for the ask and season tickets purchases will increase again.

For the season, and it’s dirt cheap.
