The best home football schedule in decades, the return of 18 starters from 2011 and a new look Big 12 Conference are just a few of the reasons to renew or purchase 2012 Texas Tech Football season tickets.
For the first time in school history, the Red Raiders will face off against Big 12 heavyweights Oklahoma and Texas at home in the same season. Texas and Oklahoma combined with projected Top 10 West Virginia will give the Red Raiders, arguably, the most exciting and competitive home schedule in school history.
"The 2012 Red Raider football season promises to be exciting," said Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt. "Jones AT&T Stadium offers one of the finest environments in all of college football and we have a great opportunity to provide record-setting attendance and support for our football program. With a tremendous home schedule, two consecutively ranked national recruiting classes and the return of so many players from a young team last year we look forward to kickoff of the 2012 campaign."
A revamped Big 12 Conference, in 2012, will include new league members TCU and West Virginia. The Mountaineers will play in Lubbock on Oct. 13 while the Red Raiders will travel to TCU the following week on Oct. 20.

2012 SEASON TICKET PRICES
Season ticket prices have been standardized and an adjustment has been made to the Annual Seat Contribution (ASC, formerly ASL) by section. Season ticket prices have been lowered in almost every section in the stadium to a flat rate of $189 per seat. This means that the adjustment to the ASC amount may afford season ticket holders the opportunity to realize a larger tax deduction on their overall ticket purchase. Fans are encouraged to consult their tax advisor.
Fans will see price decreases in 13 sections in the stadium, ranging from $40 to $120 savings per seat. Pricing in six sections remains unchanged while 16 sections will see a modest $10 increase per seat. Four sections now have split pricing for lower and upper rows, resulting in an increase for the lower rows but a decrease for the upper rows.
