Atlanta tickets

[Ta Town Shocker]

$400 per night per person, for a hotel room, with no guarantee that you will be making it to Monday. That's a little hard to swallow.

I say drive and find a cheaper hotel.

@Kung Wu:, is that at the grand Hyatt Buckhead or elsewhere? Also is there a MLS?

I don't know that you'll find a cheaper hotel anywhere close. We just booked the last room Hilton had in any of their hotels (at the garden inn by the stadium) and it was $400/night, non-refundable. May be able to get something far away for cheaper. My friend pulled the trigger a little too soon and we're trying to get out of it to go with the alumni package instead since there are guaranteed tix to the games (and rides to the stadium from buckhead)

Plenty of hotels for 100-150 just have to stay about 30-45min drives which is worth it to me.

I assume, though, that the team would stay through the final game (even if we lost)? Not sure how that works.

The alumni package is for four nights at $2,400, everything included except food/libation

Or just sleep in your car.

This is how to do it, folks. I am staying with friends in Buckhead but there's no way I would shill out close to $500/nt including fees for a hotel in DT ATL. Most of you are old anyways, why drop an extra grand or more to be close to nightlife that you want no part of?

Stay in Marietta for $50-75/nt, rent a car and drive the 25 minutes to downtown Atlanta for the games. Cheap rooms are omnipresent on Expedia and Priceline there.

While the convenience and camaraderie of the alumni charter is great if you are booking your own travel or coming in from another town 89 is right. Stay the hell away from downtown....rent a car or take the MARTA and save about 350.00 a night. LA was the same way.....you just have to be willing to do some research and get out of the old comfort zone.

[GoShockers89]

I would add....do it soon. Like, book a room in Marietta RIGHT NOW before the Michigan-Florida/Duke-Louisville fans attack those sites in droves starting in 2.5 hours. Those rooms won't be there by late tonight.

Buckhead. $1600 commitment _per person_.

[shoxlax]

Not trying to be a smartass but many KU fans will be looking to unload tickets. Check Craigslist throughout the week.

[cjp27]

So, am I reading this correctly? WSU is not selling tickets by themselves, you have to buy the whole package?

[best3175]

When will we know what section of tickets WSU is awarded. i would like to make sure my tickets are close to that section.

[Shoxfan11]

Any chance the school will provide a way for students to get there? I'm guessing no.
