I have used following code to add css class with @Html.TextBox but this is only working for @Html.TextBoxFor and not for @Html.TextBox.

@Html.TextBox("ticket_new_attachment_attributes_0_description", new { @class= "bigfield"})

What am I missing?

This code does work, but note that Mario Sannum gives a reason as to why in his answer below. The second parameter is value, the third parameter is for attributes.

The second parameter is the value.
You need to use overload with the third parameter for html attributes, like so:

// Pass null (or the value) as second parameter
@Html.TextBox("ticket_new_attachment_attributes_0_description", null, new { @class = "bigfield"})

See the msdn reference.

For @Html.TextBox second parameter is textbox value so, you can pass "" as textbox value and third parameter is Html attributes

Try below html : 

@Html.TextBox("ticket_new_attachment_attributes_0_description", "", new { @class= "bigfield"})
