Straight from Hart - court rush, tix prices

[mustangbill67]

I was thinking the same thing. Somehow tie football and basketball tickets together.

I am sure the big hits will be the club, loge and suite seats where there is a waiting list. Risky to give up those seats because of a price increase. Probably never get them back.

The big hit will be Football Season tix.

I asked at the ticker office and it looks like we will pay Big 12 prices for Football. $250 plus 500 donation for 2014 compared to $99 and no donation for 2013. More reason for me to boulevard and then watch games at Barley house?

Tickets are much cheaper than UT tickets.......

Don't raise prices - force you to buy 1 FB season ticket for each hoops

To force fans to buy tickets to a POS program in order to get bball tickets is a bad idea IMO. If they really were serious about getting butts in the seats for that other program then they would made the changes necessary to make that program successful and exciting as well. That is like making a person buy a used Yugo in order to buy a new Mercedes.
Don't destroy the enthusiasm for bball by doing something really stupid!

I agree. Our tickets are closer to TCU season ticket prices, maybe Baylor.

Anyways I might end up doing what the other guy suggested which was buying endzone tickets for way cheap and go sit in my usual 50yard tickets.

forcing me to buy smu football tix will make me hate it even more.

I can't even believe they charge for SMU football right now Really sad for what that program once was. I can only imagine what Dickerson and the crew thinks of the program at the moment. There's really no excuse for SMU to be bad either with all the talent in Dallas. It's not like it hasn't been a powerhouse before. Almost like USC or The U being bad, no excuse for it.

June Jones - lack of recruiting - antiquated offense

you also might add 'lack of commitment' to achieve continued success from the CofC.

Antiquated offense that doesn't run the ball which results in constant 3 and outs or an ocassional field goal play because we are stuck on 3 and 1 in the red zone, call a pass play instead of pounding the ball and getting that touchdown. Meanwhile our opponents possess the ball most of the time which tires our defense and results in the guys not being able to be clutch in the 4th quarter...resulting in a blowout loss.

Do what others have suggested-give the ball to Gresham, celebrate touchdown...repeat.

Hope you are not suggesting that our football program is on par with UT and that we are getting tickets at a bargain?? Forcing to buy football tickets with Bball tickets is chicken S___. Each program needs to stand on it's own.

[mustangfan01]

A donation for the right to buy football season tickets? Haha.

If it weren't for the Aggies and Tech the last two years buying season tickets, we'd be pathetic in sales numbers. Surely the athletic office isn't that silly.

If this is true, then expect fewer season ticket holders. Most who want to attend but don't want to get raped for doing so will buy an end zone seat and them go sit on the 30 yd line...or near mid-field on the visitor's side

[SMUer]

Not paying $1,000 for two FB tix. Nope. No way.

This shows $150 is the lowest donation level with no donation required for non-priority seating. Prices are TBD. Sounds dubious that they would raise endzone seats to $80 a game - have enough trouble filling the place as it is.
