Anybody planning on going to next week's game?

[Stout]

The more Cardinals fans the better. Have you found a ticket to the game yet? We are still looking to see what we can do to get seats in a group. Found one guy that has 18 together... upper level. I'll send you a PM with contact info. I am flying in Saturday AM.

Let me know how that goes for you. I would possibly be interested in going in on that.

I'm a business reporter for the Arizona Republic and would love to interview any Cardinals fans in Arizona heading to Charlotte for this weekend's game or those who looked into it and decided it was too $$$$. I'm particularly interested in your air travel and hotel plans and how you shopped for them. Please call Dawn Gilbertson at 602-444-8617. Thanks!

I would be interested also. I am coming in Friday night and looks like we are staying at either the holiday inn or La quinta airport. Would love to hook up with some Cards fans before the game.

Someone mentioned the Cardinals ticket allotment. Does anyone know if it might be possible to get such a thing?

Apparently nobody knows or the Cards don't get any.

There are tickets available to any visiting team for each game. They are intended first for families of coaches and players. If there are any left season ticket holders can call the ticket office and get on a list to have access to them. If they are not sold they get returned to the home team. The seats are usually in the upper level - I did this once on New Year's for the San Diego game.

Thanks for the info. I live 2 hrs. from the stadium. We will continue to look!

OK, I am lock, stock, and barrelled. I got tickets on Ebay $340 for two in sec 523 (about 40 yard line) row 13. We are flying in on Friday night (land at midnight) and staying at the Holiday Inn Billy Graham Parkway. Hope tp see some of you there. If you're going PM and I'll send you my phone number. Lets go Cards

Very nice articly by Dawn in the AZ Republic today on this:

She even mentions the site:

One Cardinals fan posting on ArizonaSportsFans.com Sunday before the matchup was decided said he and his wife were thinking about making the trip depending where it was, noting, "Flights are a lot cheaper to New York than Carolina."

Hey that was my quote. But as it turned out Carolina wasn't that pricey either. I book round trip for 2, hotel, and a car for $686.02 from Madison Wi.

I got Tickets for $340 on the 40 yard line upper deck 13 rows up. Not too much as I would have been willing to pay $200 a Ticket.

i'm still bidding on ebay. I'll probably know tonight whether i'm in or not. The place where i thought i was getting tickets never came through .

That sucks, Do you know where you'll be staying at. If you stay where we are we can pick you up at the airport and drive to the game together.

Thanks for the offer but IF we go,we'll be driving. It's about 5 1/2 to 6 hour drive. That's not too bad considering i can't find a direct flight from Columbus to Charlotte.With a layover and getting to the airport early we'd be spending 4 1/2 hours time if we flew. May as well drive. I don't know where we'd be staying at so maybe we could stay at the same hotel. I have to get tickets first though .

We are staying at the Holiday Inn Billy Graham Parkway. It around the airport, they still have rooms for about $85 a night. Good luck bidding.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

It looks like i'm out. I lost out on 3 auctions tonight. The last one i missed in the last 5 seconds . There are 2 tomorrow i have pegged but i'm not counting on it.People are swooping in with crazy bids in the final seconds. I know that happens to a point but i put some pretty good bids that i thought would definitely stick.

 

[CardLogic]

Cbus, try StubHub.com - about $120 per, will get you tickets

 

[eastcoastSUN]

I am seriously considering making the trip to Charlotte on Friday (I live in northern VA and the drive would be about 6 hrs and some change, mind you).

Problem is, outside of one friend who is a Panther fan but won't fork over an arm and leg for tickets, I have no body to go with to the game. If any of you all find a group of tickets, let me know and I will def join up with you guys!

 

[WisconsinCard]

Anybody know a good place for game day parking that we can all tailgate. Anybody been there before???

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

UNBELIEVABLE. I gave up on tix after last night. My wife just called me and it doesn't get any better than this.

She works for Wendys International(exec admin to CEO) and they have some franchisees flown in for a meeting today. She's talking to one of them who is from the Charlotte area and they were discussing the game and how i'm a big Cards fan but am having trouble getting tix. Well, this guys comes out of his meeting and lays 2 tickets on her desk and asks if we'd like to use them.FREEBIES

So we will be at the game and that will be a Cardinals win.

OK the snow has subsided a bit. I just got home fired up the sno-blower and cleared the driveway. The truck is loaded and there are no delays in Madison or Chicago, so we should be in Charlotte on time. Everything is just falling into place. We are on our way!!!!
