Considering buying season tickets next season for the first time. Understand it will take several years to work into better seats, but for those that have bought tickets in recent years, what availability should I expect as a first time buyer for 4 tickets together? I have less than 100 priority points. Any chance to get into 401-2 or 407-8? Or should I expect upper rows in the end zones? Thanks in advance!

BTHO Miami!

Depends on what level you start donating.

You're going to have pony up several 1000 to get in the game priority points wise. Call the 12th man foundation and they will help you understand the amount / odds etc. Unless you really throw down some cash, you'll be in the upper end zones.

Edit - that emoji was an accident.

Given the amount of priority points, you wouldn't have a chance to get 4 in those seating areas.

That's just not true. It's all of a matter of how much $$$ are you willing to donate to get where you want to sit? 20k straight donation with a pledge of X every year and you get what section?

Reseating in 2027 fyi

Thanks for the knowledge
I am guessing limited details available

I recommend going higher in the stands if you can move further away from the student sections. They bleed over into the upper deck on the south end, and the first year I had tickets, there was a lot of vomiting in our section and a lot of "cruising" by the students. They pace the stairways for the entire game. Thankfully I'm away from the "splash zones" now.

Do you have any information about this? Will there be a new capital contribution?

There are more people wanting season tickets than there are season tickets available. Just keep that in mind going in. Might want to try and get the priority points up or that $50 a seat interest commitment has a decent chance of just turning into a donation.

interesting.

Is the TMF doing periodic reseating because they lied to donors years ago and are still in the middle of a lawsuit?

Makes sense they'd have to revisit seating unless they were dumb enough to promise lifetime benefits and priority seating again.

For the record, I still think both sides are dumb to think things wouldnt change after a couple of decades. There should be no expectation you get to keep your choice location in Kyle Field because you donated peanuts 40 years ago compared to the ungodly sums of money people can pump into the stadium today.

What is Kyle Field? Rent-controlled apartment housing in Manhattan?

Still TMF should have done more to make it right. Maybe they tried, I don't know what was offered to donors. Still think a compromise could have been worked out.

In any event, makes sense to reseat to avoid another embarrassing class action lawsuit.

Only official correspondence on this that I can find was in my renewal email back on Jan 29:

"SEATING TERM UPDATE
Following the 2025 season, seats with an expiring 10-year seating term will automatically renew annually on a one-year basis. If applicable, the 12th Man Foundation will provide written notice of any new seating terms or requirements before the annual automatic renewal date of Feb. 1. "

FWIW, the Club levels and Field Box 1-13 are good until 2030, see page 11-12:

This.

I don't think a reseating is in the cards. It might be that we do a new capital campaign (if I were in charge, I would consider doing this to pay off debt), which would shake loose some seats, but I just can't see what would be the benefit of a reseating to the TMF. Nothing would piss off your customers quite like telling them that we're putting your seats up for grabs just because we can.

I tried looking for pricing info online but didn't see any. I was thinking of putting in for 2 for my son and me. Wouldn't matter where we sit, just want to be there.

Or you can do what I've done the last 4 seasons - find someone on Ticket Exchange board selling a season ticket package in the area you like.

You don't build any points this way, but I've not had any problems finding them for sale. And I've basically paid the same amount that the person selling them to me paid - ie they were not trying to make a profit. I'm only looking for 2 seats, so maybe that makes it a little easier, and I don't get offers through 12th Man for post season tickets, so that is a downside.

I guess you could do both - ie buy someone else's season tickets from a reseller on TexAgs AND buy your own season tickets, best seats you can get to start building points. You can always resell your season tickets to recoup most or all of your money you spent on them. And then, if there are post season tickets to be had you might have a shot at those too.

I noticed it in my season ticket renewal terms and conditions 2 years ago. There are some stories out there and a Texags thread about expanding the field to 130k but I can't find a university source or a source in the construction industry.

https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3545484

But the 12th man does have the right to if they do I don't know. Anything for more money so I a, guessing they will


went back to see if I could view the terms again and couldn't find them, it was in the long list of terms and conditions that no one reads

Oh, there's no doubt that they COULD reseat the stadium, but that doesn't mean they will. They've talked about doing it in baseball if they do a renovation, but short of something like that, it's hard to justify.

Iirc when we made the selection and paid the capital gift for 4 in 306

We were told that it was a 15 year lease for those seats

Yes, they had different time limits depending on the seating level (I think it was a longer horizon for the more expensive seats). There were two components of this: (1) there would be no additional capital campaign requirement during this time period; and, (2) no reseating.

They could do a capital campaign after the seat terms end and still choose not to do a reseating, and just rely upon the capital campaign to free up some seat movement opportunities for those looking to move.

Year 2030
West Field Box (FB1-FB5, FB9-FB13), Prime West Field Box (FB6-FB8), West Club (AC1-AC3, AC10-AC12),
Prime West Club (AC4, AC9), West Legacy Club (LC5, LC8), Prime West Legacy Club (LC6-LC7), West
Armchair (303-304, 309-310, 403-406 in Rows 1-6), Prime West Armchair (305-308), Zone Club (ZC1-ZC16)

Looks like you are good until 2030 as far as being able to retain those seats without an additional capital campaign. Of course they reserve the right to raise the ticket prices and seat donations annually..

Do other universities do this (i.e. ask for more capital campaign $ and reseat their existing season ticket holders)? It was so controversial when it happened (for at least a few of the smaller donors)..

Resetting is definitely imo in the cards and the TMF made it very clear that these were not your tickets for life

I have friend that are on the aisle on The thirty low in the 400's
It would not shock me when they reseat if they had to move up a few rows and couldn't get the aisle seats because they are making annual contributions buying those seats but somebody might be giving more

Odds are that there will be no season tickets when it is your turn to pick. My daughter class of 2022 tried to get some last year and this was the case. I have been trying to upgrade my tickets from the north zone to any armchair seats for a few years and there have been zero options to do this. I have been a season ticket holder for 12 years however not all consecutive.

Ive had tickets for so long I didn't realize it got this sparse even in the upper levels. Good surprise for me.
It seems like they've done a better job of just raising prices and no one is grandfathered at prior prices, so sounds like that might mitigate some of the problems that had happened before. I know both my donation and ticket cost has increased over the years.
I could see a new capital donation requirement to keep your seats.

The 12th Man Foundation has already stated that ticket demand is expected to be quite high in 2026.

A reseating announcement prior to February 1 would not be surprising.

In regards to reseating what happened to those victims in the second deck of the south end zone who lost their seats when the new suites were put in ? They had been told that they had those seats for 10 or 15 years but obviously the 12th MF sold them out to larger donors

I was a first time season ticket getter this season and a first time donor doing the minimums to get into the system so no priority points prior to pull. I got two tickets that were cattycorner from each other on different rows about 5ft from each other. So you can expect maybe something like that.
