Fine Mess Roadtrip @Maryland Sat, Nov 9th

[Jeepers]

Going to try to take my 80 year old uncle that I haven't seen in a long time. Would probably be 3 tickets and a pass.

Hi Mark
4 tickets and 2 parking passes please.
I'll bring a Coleman roadtrip grill, a large cooler, and a table that we can all use.
Thanks.

Can I tentatively request 4 tickets? I live 2-3 miles down the road from UMD so we will probably just walk to the game.

 

[Cusefan95]

4 tix, 1 parking pass (tentatively)

I hope you'll reconsider and drive down and park and tailgate with us. My intent is to have folks meet each other at the tailgates. Let me know if you plan to tailgate. Thx. You can answer via Private Message if you like.

You bringing your Mom? We might have to get some Speidi marinating.


TICKET UPDATE: We are at about 85-90 tickets so far. I have indications we will be close to 200-250. I probably won't go more that that.

 

[SouthCtyOrange]

4 tix and 1 parking pass, please

 

[MarcusPitt]

I'm in for two tickets and a parking pass. Looking forward to being around fellow fans! I'd be happy to bring something or help with the tailgate.

 

[BlackKnight76]

Put me down for 2 and a pass, tentatively

Having been there before it might be faster to walk. No excuses not to drink then.

 

[TexanMark]

I'm sitting at about 100 right now. If you are on the fence time to finalize your initial request. It is non-binding at this time.

I'm probably going to tell the UMD tix office to reserve 150 seats and keep 50 more on hold if possible.

 

[Consigliere]

Put me down for 4 and 1 pass

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Texan, please kindly put the Grotto fam tentatively down for 5 tix and 1 parking pass.. Thank you much.

 

[Cusefan95]

You bringing your Mom? We might have to get some Speidi marinating.

She's planning on coming, so we can absolutely bring spiedies. Also bump my request up to six tix, I convinced a few more folks to come.

I assume 2 parking passes now?

 

[JackBauer44]

Put me tentatively down for 4 tickets and a parking pass. I will not know until closer, but if I can, I am definitely making the trip. Thanks!

UPDATE: I found the right person at Maryland. The good news is tickets are $20 each. The even better news is she'll directly sell to me gameday parking passes for approximately $15 each. We expect to be in the White or Yellow Lots. There looks to be a bus that can shuttle you closer to the stadium.

So get me an approximate number of tickets and parking passes you'll need. I expect payment by mid summer. I'll buy extras to have ready but I'm going to set a max of 200-250 tickets.

I expect we should have a decent tailgate. Hopefully some of the DC area fans can bring a few support items like folding tables, coolers, canopies, portable grills. Weather Veterans' Day weekend could be cool and rainy.

TexanMark 2 tickets, 1 parking pass.

4 tickets for me, and I live in the DC area so will bring tables and such to the game for the tailgate.

....and parking

 

[A Clockwork Orange]

Potentially four, but I might get in a box through work. Would definitely be in for parking pass and tailgate before the game though.

 

[TexanMark]

Update...we are at approximately 140 tickets.

 

[martykobes]

[TexanMark]

Okay I think we have reached about 150...I don't expect to go higher than 200 tix. So any fence sitters get numbers together and send me a note.

 

[TexanMark]

Update:

I'm putting a deposit down for 200 tickets. Tickets will be $25 total. The Basic Ticket is $20. I'm going to add a small $1 surcharge to everyone to cover buying 10 extra tickets to hold in reserve. This will come in handy as the group grows at the last minute and I can fit more folks in. I'm also going to add $4 per ticket to cover tailgate expenses. We'll work the tailgate plan later. If you don't tailgate the money will be your donation to the tailgate anyways.

So bottomline figure $25 per ticket and a $6 Priority Mailing fee for your total order. Parking Passes are $15. Payment won't be due till Summer. I'll send each of you a bill and will exchange email/mailing address and cell phone numbers soon.

We are going to be in Section 305 starting about Row Q. Our seats start around the 10th row up from the 3rd deck walkway and go up from there. The seats should around the 35-40 yard line on the SU side. The regular price for these tickets are $30.

I try to make this a good experience for everyone. I like to put families with small kids near the aisle and also older folks who might have trouble walking. Send me a email or PM with your special requests. If you don't like this...let me know ASAP and I'll remove you from the list.

So we have about 40-50 tickets unaccounted for so far...but I should hear soon from a Men's group in Syracuse. They might take them.

Thanks
Mark
