In preparation for the 2014-15 SMU Men’s Basketball season, I want to share some information about season ticket renewals and plans for a new premium seating option available for pre-sale to our loyal Mustang Club donors and season ticket holders.

All Men’s Basketball season ticket renewal information will be released in May, with a June renewal deadline. In recognition of your loyalty and support, Mustang Fans who purchased a full season ticket package for the 2013-14 season will be able to renew those seats for the upcoming season and donation requirements for renewed season tickets will not change. New, relocated or upgraded season ticket purchases will require a per seat Mustang Club donation, separate from current Mustang Club donations which may apply to other priority seating areas in Ford and Moody. For your convenience, here are links to a list of Frequently Asked Questions and a Moody seating diagram.

During the off-season, the new Hall of Fame Club, above the east concourse, will be expanded to include a patio and incorporate seating within Moody Coliseum. Providing a unique and distinct game experience, the Hall of Fame Club will offer fans an opportunity to enjoy premium amenities throughout the game and will only be available to those Mustang Club donors and season ticket holders with seats in the Hall of Fame Club (section 208; approximately 120 fans).

The Hall of Fame Club will provide SMU fans with an exclusive spot to gather with friends and associates to enjoy SMU basketball as well as other televised sporting events going on around the country. Buffet service will begin 90 minutes prior to tip-off and dessert/snacks will continue until 1 hour after the game’s conclusion. As throughout Moody Coliseum, beer and wine sales will cease with 15 minutes on the game clock, but will resume following the game. The Hall of Fame Club is available to Mustang Club donors who make a qualifying gift of $5,000 (for 2 seats) or $10,000 (for 4 seats). Season ticket prices for the 18-game 2014-15 season will be $1,000 per seat.

If you are interested in moving your season tickets into the new Hall of Fame Club, please contact the Mustang Club office (214-768-2582) or your development representative by May 1. Since seating in this new area is limited to 120 fans, we will review all requests by our current season ticket holders to move into the Hall of Fame Club before we consider new ticket requests. Availability will be determined based upon Mustang Club giving and donor priority.

On behalf of our student-athletes, coaches and leadership team, I thank you for your enthusiasm and loyal support of SMU Athletics.

Go Mustangs!

Note-they mentioned an 18 game home schedule which should reduce the per game cost of the season tickets we've been discussing since we had calculated using 16 game home schedule. I calculate that drops my per game cost of mid court seats (Section 212) to a tad below $30 a game including an allocation of 50% of the donation ($500 minimum) to basketball

Sounds like a good development.

Haven't done much research but is TCU going to be at Moody or AAC again? Im not sure if it has been posted or not.

I sat 2nd row in section 208 this year, and in my opinion was one of the best seats in the house. If I want to sit in my same seats again, it will raise my price from $250 for two tickets to $7,000.

They haven't said anything official yet but rumors are we will end up playing at their high school court in Fort Worth..

Probably Moody. The game last year had to do with the NCAA Tournament being at Jerry World

Seems reasonable.

Wow. Don't worry, plenty will tell you to just... "Pony Up"

In all seriousness, sorry, words don't even describe how bad you're getting screwed on that one.

It just became the HOF club, so he isn't. To sit where he was will really cost you that. He will probably be asked to move seats by the ticket office or pay up.

Haha, it's all good, I'm guessing he will be moving from his seats as I doubt he's going to want to pay 25x the cost of last season or whatever the math is.

I'm all in on next season. If I was gonna "pony up" for one season during my life, I think next year is it.
