Horned Frog fans will be looking towards the hill at Lupton Stadium this weekend to see just how much maroon finds its way in.
Some Texas A&M fans noticed a tweet earlier this week, that has since been deleted, from TCU Athletic Director Chris Del Conte releasing the super regional promotional code.
That promotional code could be used at GoFrogs.com:
Texas A&M fans were quick to spread the word.
TCU head coach Jim Schlossnagle called the leaked code “just a bad rumor” in a tweet Thursday morning.
TCU Athletics tweeted earlier this week that season ticket holders have ticket priority until remaining tickets go on sale. A voice recording from the TCU ticket office confirmed. “Single game tickets will go on sale Thursday at 8 a.m.,” the recording said. The general admission tickets are $15, according to the recording.
Come Thursday morning however, all remaining tickets had been sold, leaving some TCU students and fans frustrated with the process.
A TCU ticket office employee said the promotional code was sent out to season ticket holders in an email.
The promotional code access ended Tuesday night, the employee said.
The employee confirmed that general admission tickets would once again go on sale Thursday morning. No tickets were available Thursday morning however. The employee did not know how many had been sold as of Wednesday with the code.
As of Wednesday, the promotional code was invalid. The code directed the user to a screen that informs you tickets are only on sale for season ticket holders at this time, just as TCU Athletics tweeted.
Del Conte clarified the ticket sale rules Wednesday morning.
A sold out crowd could mean additional seating in the general admission area, Drew Martin said last week.
Martin, TCU’s assistant athletics director for marketing, said they would consider opening up the grass hill just beyond the right field fence, as seen during the 2014 super regionals.
“If the crowd demand called for it, absolutely,” Martin said. “Anything is possible.”
In the event they do use this area, Martin said barriers are in place just beyond the right field scoreboard to confine crowds.
No. 7 TCU will host Texas A&M for the Fort Worth Super Regional at Lupton Stadium beginning Saturday June 6 at 2 p.m. The two teams will meet again Sunday at 1:15 p.m. and Monday if necessary. The winner advances to the College World Series.
