UPDATED AS OF: 28 Aug 13
Window is now closed to purchase tickets for this group.
If you still want tickets or need more, please let me know and I will put you in touch with my POC at FSU.
Should be able to pay off the tickets by next Friday, which means they will then seat our group and at some point send us the tickets. Will have a better idea of when they will send tickets when I complete the purchase. Once I receive the tickets, my goal is to place everyone with their family/friends. If you have a special request please let me know, I will do my best to honor it. If there is anyone in the group you want to be near or do not want to be near, please let me know...I will do my best to honor that as well.
Once the seating arrangements have been set, I will mail out the tickets to those of you who requested me to mail them to you. The others, I will post the section/seat numbers in this thread and hold on to the tickets until game day.
If you have any questions or need further information, please let me know.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gonna start this thread for those who are planning on attending the FSU game on November 16th. I have a POC at the FSU ticket office and may be able to get reduced/group rate tickets. First need to know the following:
1. If you are attending?
2. How many tickets you will need/want?
3. Are you interested in tailgating?
4. Would you be willing to assist with setting up the tailgate?
5. Would you be willing to bring something for the tailgate?
6. What are you bringing?
7. Will you need a parking pass/space?
I know seems like a lot of questions, but will help with planning. I will use this post to update information/answers to the above questions.
Also, I will use this thread to post information such as ticket prices, purchase by date, tailgate info, etc.
All information will be edited into this post.
___________________________________________________________________
Group Ticket Info/Pricing:
20-49 People: $30/ticket (regular $45)
50-99 People: $25/ticket
100+ People: $20/ticket
Parking will be $40/space. Please click here for information on this parking area.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PAYMENT INFO:
Tickets will be $25 per ticket...however to help defer the cost of extra parking spaces, to setup a nice tailgate area, I am asking for an additional $3 on top of the cost of tickets. This should allow us to get 4 open spaces to set up a central area for everyone to gather. If you can not pay the extra, please let me know. So the total will be $28 per ticket. If there is any extra left over after paying for 4-5 spots, I will use that to purchase food/drinks for the tailgate or just hold onto that for the tailgate for the Syracuse at FSU basketball game early next year.
Parking, as of right now, will be paid directly to the attendant upon arrival on game day. It will be $40 per space, so please plan accordingly.
Each of you should have my mailing address, if not please let me know and I will re-send it to you. You can send me payment via check/money order to my mailing address or send me the money via PayPal. My PayPal account is airforceorange@gmail.com. Send it as a gift and you should not have to pay a surcharge. When sending the money via PayPal please note your Board name.
Finally please let me know ASAP how you are going to pay...via mail (check/money order) or PayPal. Will need payment ASAP so we can finalize our seating.
You have two options: I can hold your tickets for you and give them to you on game day or mail them to you. Please let me know which you prefer.
- Also, If your mailing address has changed since you last sent it to me, please send me a separate PM with your new address. You can post it here if you like, but I know not everyone wants to post their address so everyone can see it. Thank you!!
REMINDER: When sending me payment via PayPal please send as a gift to relative/friend...otherwise a fee will be charged. Thank you!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deadline Dates:
Deadline to send me money: ASAP
- Payment info is above and has been posted, sent and/or e-mailed to everyone who has signed up.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP your payment information so I can confirm you for tickets!!
Thank you!!

** Haven't been to any of those restaurants yet, but I will try to hit at least some, if not all, and post reviews about them in this thread. Also, of course if I discover any other good places other than listed here, I will post as well.
Restaurants I/we have tried with my rating:
Barnacle Bills (http://barnaclebills.com/): 3 out 5 (My Review is another post on this page, below)

Hotel info from JJReddawg:
Also, if anyone is looking to stay outside of Tallahassee, I'd recommend looking at the Best Western Rose City Conference Center Inn or Hoilday Inn Express Hotel & Suites in Thomasville, GA.

Flying into Tallahassee can be expensive. Some other regional airports to check out are Panama City, FL; Ft Walton, FL; Dothan, AL. Closest large airports: New Orleans, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Orlando and Jacksonville (these are anywhere from 5-8 hours drive).

Also, Tally is about 1 1/2 - 2 hrs drive from the Gulf Coast...beautiful white sand beaches.
Downside is that the game is November and since the beaches areas are heavily based on tourism, some to a many places may be closed for the season.
Closest major beach town/city is Panama City Beach. However you can take scenic HWY 98 along the Gulf Cost either east or west and go through some nice, quaint beach/fishing towns. Also, there is Seaside, http://www.seasidefl.com/ where The Truman Show, starring Jim Carrey was filmed.

If you want to stay somewhere different and memorable try Wakulla Springs State Park. Only two rooms left at the Lodge that weekend. The movie, "The Creature From the Black Lagoon" was filmed there. It is located about 20 miles south of Tallahassee and near the coast.

-Approximately 2 hrs or so from Tally. Just take W. Pensacola, turns into Hwy 20 all the way to Ebro.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT INFO:
One last note: FSU does not allow alcohol in the stadium. Please make sure before leaving the parking lot you do not have any alcohol in your pockets. The police do check at the gates and are very good at spotting people trying to sneak alcohol into the stadium...as my brother-in-law found out last year. If you are caught with alcohol upon entrance or after entering you will be kicked out of the stadium and will have to find another ticket to gain entry. I saw this happen to numerous people while waiting in line at the FSU/Gator game last Novemeber. Prior to all of us leaving the lot for the game I will remind everyone of this.
