I'm officially interested in buying season tickets. I have no idea how that works though.

When do they go on sale?
Is there a waiting list, lottery, or something else?
What are average prices like for this?

Any information is appreciated

Pay $$$, get tickets.

1) find an existing season ticket holder selling their season for 5x profit
2) pay 5x face for said tickets
3) get season tickets

Call the 12th Man foundation and get on the list to purchase tickets. There is a waiting list, but I don't know how quickly people come off of them. They aren't bad in price (in comparison to football). Depends on where you sit.

Sometime Decemberish, existing season ticket holders will be given the option to renew their tickets. Once that process is complete, the people who have filled out a " Ticket Interest Form" at 12thman.com will pick whatever is available in priority point order.

Which will be nothing. Hence my original "serious" answer…

If you're really lucky, you don't get screwed like this.

This is correct. I've tried the past two years, using this system. Still haven't gotten them yet. My form for next season has already been submitted.

Be ready to wait several years to get season tickets too.

You will need to be ranked about 2500 in priority points to have an actual chance to get season tickets, that will require about 5000 points currently. Dr. Horrible wasn't really wrong, it would probably cost less to buy them via his 5X scenario than it would to get the points required.

There is no such thing as an official waiting list to be put on.

Simply join the 12thman, establish interest in purchasing season tickets and you will be notified when your exact date/time comes for the selection process to occur.

If your priority point ranking is not of the level that allows you to select season tickets before season tixs are sold out, it simply means other members have donated more to increase their PP levels and be "closer " to the front of the selection line. You as an individual member are in control of your PP level therefore in control of your place in line.

I followed this advice about 10 years ago and what happened in my experience was that I never heard anything back about it until my 12thMan Foundation Priority Points reached a level that ranked me about 2,500. It was at this point, that I finally received an e-mail prior to the 2024 season stating something to the effect of...

"Hey you are at a point on the priority list where there might actually be some availability, so we are going to give you a seat selection appointment time to try and choose seats if there are still any left when we get to your appointment time."

Fortunately there were some seats available in the 3rd Base non-permanent bleachers, but they were all single seats. I did manage to find two single seats on the same row and snagged those. They were really cheap -- less than $500 total (tickets and donation) for two season tickets to 30+ games.

Fortunately the 12thMan Foundation noticed my seats were same row, but split up. Without solicitation they contacted me and asked me if I wanted them to contact the other seat holders in between my two seats and ask them if they minded moving my two seats together. This was much appreciated and to the good Ags who blessed it I appreciate your flexibility in allowing my seats to be next each other.

I couldn't have asked for a better year at Olsen Field (Blue Bell) for my inaugural season as a ticket holder!

With the renovation and expansion I think you will see opportunity come to you more quickly than it did to me, and the prices will likely be higher, but I would imagine they will still have some seats/sections that will be affordable to all.

Maybe this year because of our success last season, but that's how I got season tickets over 7 years ago. Feel blessed that I got them during RC's tenure because I think it was easier to do that than it would be now.

The prices will depend on the number of seats added, but of course the seats most fans prefer should be priced to foster revenue growth. The hard question is what is the typical fan's commitment to funding revenue instead of going cheap for entry.

I'll note that we use some techniques that minor league baseball uses to maximize per seat income (which you might not know is a ballpark operator source of profit as is keeping the ballpark itself an experience destination with other events.) Some offer things like returning fan discounts on swag but those have more single-ticket inventory than we have. Or package deals that include food or swag discounts. (I'm sure we go what we can in the midweek games to entice locals.)

Unless you have a lot of priority points basically no chance other than maybe in the third base stands. Very few come up available in main stands. I'm inside the top 10% of priority points rankings and couldn't get tickets in the main stands last year. Gave up my seats in on third base because they stink. . Best bet is seat geek.

Athletic department does several buy adult, kids get in free and buy 4 tickets, hot dogs, and sodas for something like $20 for a lot of other sports that have single ticket availability. Plus the 12thmanrewards program gives free swag for attendance. Also, a number of freebie nights for the first x fans.
