Who is planning a bowling trip?

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

2 families going. Total of 7. Bought tix and airfare. Struggling mightily on finding lodging near the beach that isn't in the New Year's Eve price gouging category.

As much as I would have preferred staying near the beach, I chose to go cheap at a Days Inn near the airport (Fort Lauderdale airport), where rates are as low as $55.00 a night.

Please confirm which side of the stadium is GT....thanks...

Is it the side with the lower level 117 section or the other side with the 142 section?

For those who have sticker shock from the GT ticket allotment, there are plenty on the secondary market that should not dissuade anyone. Upper deck as low at $9, lower level endzone currently under $30. https://seatgeek.com/capital-one-or...ickets/ncaa-football/2014-12-31-8-pm/1949489/

The tickets are the cheap part!

The Tech side is sections 128-142 (lower) and 428-442 (upper)

Keep me posted if you find something.
I too am having an issue with that.

yep, the prices are out of sight downtown
I went down in'09 (and plan to do again) stayed a bit out of town and drove to sights/activities-- bit inconvenient but saves a bunch of jack
also Stubhub has a lot of cheap seats

It costs $75.00, but it looks like everything is included ...... http://gtalumni.org/s/1481/alumni/index.aspx?sid=1481&gid=21&sitebuilder=1&pgid=2079

I must have read this wrong...Looks like the adult price is $55??

From the link --- "Adults 21+ $75, Ages 13-20 $55, Children 6-12 $40 and Children 5 & under free"

It's $55 if you are age 13 - 20; $75 for 21 and up. But it DOES include everything --- food, beer, wine, non-alcoholic beverages. Relatively speaking, I would say it's a good deal, although it would be pretty expensive for a family

Yes, just a moment of reading blindness....thanks.... If I drank alcohol, this would be a good deal..

After taxes and whatever, it comes to $83.66. Pretty damn steep, even if you drink alcohol. Nevertheless, I signed up for it. I'll be solo, although with friends who may or may not also go, so I figured what the hell. It also includes admission to FanFest, a $20.00 value.
There is also a free meet and greet the night before the game .... http://gtalumni.org/s/1481/alumni/i...4884&ecid=4884&crid=0&calpgid=645&calcid=1759

That deal would kill me because I'd try to drink my $75 worth; cheap sob.

I'm going down with my son. Section 443 (4o yard line upper deck)-Row 3. Really excited. Found my tickets on StubHub.

Section 443, row 14 here. Great StubHub seats, huh?

 

[LarryMunson]

We're in!

Yeah, I was pretty happy. I'm not an AT contributor so in the past when I've gone through the AA, I've gotten bagged so no more. My seats were $99 each which I was pretty happy with.

I will be there with my 17 year old daughter. I live in Gainesville, FL, which is pretty much smack dab in the middle between Atlanta & Miami. According to Google maps, Boddy Dodd is 335 miles from my house while Sun Life is 323 miles. So travelwise, this will feel just like a home game. I've booked a LaQuinta about 20 miles north of the stadium just off the turnpike, same place I stayed in 2010 & came out to just over $90 with taxes.

I've put in my ticket request with the GTAA despite the high cost. Just my way of supporting Tech athletics.

I AM an AT contributor, but I still like to save money when I can. I hate to burst your bubble, but I got mine for $50.00.
