Horned Frogs Priority Points System

In an effort to more equitably serve our TCU Frog Club members and TCU Athletics supporters, the Horned Frogs Priority Points System was created and approved by the Athletics Committee of the Board of Trustees and the TCU Frog Club Board of Directors effective June 1, 2006.

The system provides a fair and objective way to distribute and allocate premium tickets to away games, and tickets to TCU post-season competition events. (i.e. bowl games, College World Series, NCAA or NIT Tournament games).

Modeled after other similar peer institutions, the Horned Frog Priority Points System awards all donors and season ticket holders priority points based on several criteria, including: annual TCU Frog Club membership and contributions, endowed athletic scholarship gifts, capital project gifts, cumulative athletic giving, and season ticket loyalty.

Points Calculated 4x Each Year
Horned Frogs Priority Points will now be calculated more frequently! This will help donors maximize their gifts around the time they choose to give. To check your current priority point level, CLICK HERE and click the "Sign In" button at the top of your screen, or call the TCU Frog Club at 817.257.7700.

Change Effective June 1, 2020
The Frog Club Advisory Board has voted to adjust the Horned Frogs Priority Points System to align our focus to raise money for scholarships with TCU’s Campaign, Lead On: A Campaign for TCU. Beginning June 1, 2020, annual fund donations to the Frog Club will generate 3 points per $100 instead of 2 points.

Priority Points System & Structure
There are 3 ways our Priority Points System awards points. Those categories are:

Priority Points Icon - Football Helmet
Priority Points Icon - Heart
Priority Points Icon - Tickets
Athletic Giving Points
The Frog Club awards points based on donations towards athletic scholarships, sport-specific clubs, capital projects, and any other related projects specifically benefiting the TCU Athletics department.
TCU Affinity Points
The Frog Club recognizes donors who give to other priorities at TCU.  Donations towards the Block T Association or other non-athletic programs and/or endowments have the opportunity to earn points.
Ticket Commitment Points
Donors receive priority points based on their season ticket purchase history and their long time attendance records at events such as regular season TCU games & bowl games.
