Everything is bought.

Just bought the Warden an airline ticket as well.  After the game last night he crawled into the truck and drove to Auburn to help roll Toomers.  Damn I love him.

If anyone hears anything on a ticket, let me know.  Buzz?  Anyone?   I can get myself there unless there's a plan to split up the costs between some folks.

Lemme know in a PM..or however.   It's going to suck if I can't get out there.

Airline tickets are booked. Orbitz has ATL to PHX for $510 this morning.

Still dont have game tickets secured. Stubhub has plenty listed
for $700 and up. Any suggestions other than Stubhub?

Looking at the North Scottsdale area as far as hotels.

Right there witcha....

If this is a dream, I don't want to ever wake up.  This Auburn team is one for the Ages, after the '04 team came and went, I told Jumbo that we'd never have another opportunity to win the Championship.  Thankfully I was wrong, lol.  It only took 6 years to get back to the Pedestal....and Coach Chizik was the DC of that last Awesome team.  Full Circle Bitches.

This didn't make sense, due to me typing it on my cellphone while multitasking doing something else.

What I meant to say was I had a hotel reserved in Pheonix back to about a month ago, but last night I changed it to Scottsdale.

I'm struggling to get a package right now.  Got court on the 12th so I can't stay the extra day, which would make life soooo much easier.  I think people are going crazy with this stuff right now but I imagine things will open up in the weeks ahead with cancellations and people going, "Oh shit, I just realized I don't have $6,000.00 to go to a football game."

I on the other hand, just happen to have $6,000.00 (That I really don't have) and a left nutt that I will gladly give to participate in the festivities.

Just booked my hotel in Northern Scottsdale, AZ.  Staying at the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites in Fountain Hills. 

Saved a little money flying out of Charlotte on Friday.  Heading out mid-day on Tuesday.

Got a room with 2 queen beds if someone's debating going out there, I'll split the cost with someone.  I got a rental car as well.

My enthusiasm for this trip is dwindling by the day.  Following the SECCG, I was saying it's a once in a lifetime trip and I'm making it come hell or high water and damn the consequences, money etc.  Well, it's gettin' hotter by the day and the water's rising steadily.  All the packages are becoming a cluster fuck of epic proportions and the price is going up by the hour.  Was at a travel agency yesterday and the lady said, "That flight will be $535.00 each and you'll be routed to San Francisco and then to Chicago on the return....oh wait...it just went up to $705.00 each...will that be debit or credit?" 

That will be the fuck you say.

Went to Jamaica back in February. I can go again and stay twice as long plus book a cruise for the money these people want.  I'm not a tight wad by any stretch but damn....just damn.

Try Hotwire.com

I booked my flight, full size rental and hotel from Friday to Tuesday for $900.00.   You can choose your hotel with the vacation packages.  You can change the flights and look at all kinds of things and see what you're paying with all the different variables as you change them.

I got a two stop flight both ways, and am coming and going when I chose.  It's a good tool.

Jamaica will be there next year and doesn't come but once in some peoples lifetimes.

You know, I agree on the once in a lifetime thing, however; I've got some serious time constraints on this one and nothing I've looked at seems to work to get me back home in time.  Judge's and clients get mighty pissed when you don't show up for Court and unfortunately, this one can't be moved.  I have to be back in town at a reasonable hour on the 11th and the best I've found in these packages is getting me back to Atlanta at 12:05 a.m. on the 12th.  Ain't gonna' work.

I think I'm going to heed the advice of 3 of the travel agents I've talked to.  The enthusiasm and euphoria of this is going to wear off in the coming weeks and there's going to be a lot of people asking WTF they just did spending $8K plus to get their families to Arizona...just after Christmas.  I already know of quite a few people spending that kind of dough-re-me on this and more.  In other words, there will be mucho cancellations and better prices and deals opening up.  If they don't....then I'm going to Jamaica after the game.

I am going to wait also. This is a once in a lifetime event. It’s not that I can’t afford it, I had already budgeted $2K to 3K for this. The travel plans are what is becoming the biggest problem. I ain’t gonna buy tickets unless I know exactly the seat locations. 

I don’t want to, but if I have to stay home.  I know the beer will be a lot cheaper.

Damn what a convoluted way to get to the game.  Just booked 2 tickets through Travelocity leaving Atlanta on the 8th connecting through Los Angeles and flying to Tuscon.  Same route back on the 11th.

So far I'm in for:

Tickets  $300
Airfare  $467
Hotel  Free
Rental Car  Free

The AUTailger travel package is a grand total of $767 per person for me and pops.
