Official NC State - October 12th - Group Tickets, Tailgate Event

[JackBauer44]

Quick update:

I e-mailed our ticket contact today just to touch base with him and he gave me a "small" update. Here was the e-mail I received.

"Justin,
We will definitely have group seating inventory for your Syracuse tickets but the price point we can decrease to is still TBD until May or June. Do you have a firmer number on how many tickets you are interested in? I'll be in touch
Thanks
Dick"
We are up to about 65 tickets (potentially 75). I plan on grabbing extra tickets as well and having them just in case. Hopefully in May, we'll have the price locked in and we can start with the logistics of the tailgate.

Important Tailgate Related Announcement:

As of this week (4/20 to be exact) all Publix grocery stores in the Carolinas should be stocking Hofmann's products. I will be driving to a Publix in South Carolina to confirm on Thursday. I'll see if they're just stocking the hot dogs, or coneys as well. If all goes well, I should be enjoying some Hofmann's goodness at a baseball game mini-tailgate that very night!

The bad news is that the nearest Publix to Carter-Finley Stadium is 136 miles away. However, many of us will be driving from Charlotte the day of the game, so should be able to stock up before we leave. There is also a chance a closer Publix will have opened by then. They're opening a lot of new locations in the Carolinas now.

I have many native Texans hooked on Hoffman's at work. They never tasted a decent hot dog (coney) before at the UTSA tailgate last Fall. I recently brought down 24 packages of Coneys/German Franks and sold them to about 10 coworkers. They are available at the Albertson's in the DFW area.

 

[OrangeChris]

The nearest place to the stadium currently stocking Hofmann's seems to be this place:
Skipper's Fish Fry & Market - 473
Approximately 9.98 miles away
1001 East Williams Street
Apex, North Carolina 27502

Can't confirm which products (or even if this info is accurate), but they're listed on Hofmann's website.

You can visit Skipper's website here.

Love Skippers. They are owned by Syracuse people. They have expressed interest in having Syracuse gatherings over the past two years. I was thinking about talking to him to see if he was interested in providing food for the tailgate. It may make things a bit easier.

Confirmed: we officially have a coneys sighting in the Carolinas.

We go past Apex every other week or so on our way to Cary to shop. I will be glad to pick up whatever is needed.

Alright Everyone. I finally have gotten some good details on the Syracuse/NC State game in Raleigh on October 12th.

Our group ticket POC has assured me that we will be able to get group block of tickets. The number I had given him was between 50-75 tickets. He said that quantity shouldn't be a problem. If we need to add more when the time comes, we may be able to do that.

Ticket prices for this game have not been set yet, and will not be solidified until this summer. I got many apologies for him being vague, but he did not want to over-promise anything. The price he did give me was around $50 per ticket. He also said that could come down, so that is a wait and see until this summer.

As for the tailgate. After some phone calls back and forth, I finally was able to get more information on the Vet School Parking Deck (where single game parking passes are sold too). It turns out we will be able to get them in advanced and are set to have our tailgate there. Parking passes will be either $15 or $20. They will set prices on the lot this summer (see a reoccurring theme here?).

Below is a list of people who I have for tickets and tailgate helpers.. I will PM you to confirm your ticket quantity, what you're bringing to the tailgate, ect..

When prices are confirmed for this event, I will contact everyone to get payment info.

If there are any questions, post in this threat or send me a PM. Looking forward to a great event!

Just to update everyone...

I spoke with the Director of Ticket Operations today. The person who was working our account left for another job. He said we will have definite pricing in late July/early August. They have not starting working on single game tickets yet and was not interested in anything else I had to say. Their ticket office may be worse than SU's ticket office. He seemed very annoyed with my questions. Anyways, I'll update whenever I get more information.

I'm going to have cancel. I wish I could go but a family commitment has come up and I'm not sure I can swing both events.

I don't want to leave you hanging. Thanks

One bailed on me so I will only need 6 tickets... Thank you

 

[orange_in_VA]

Hey just want to double check. I'm confirmed for 5 tickets 1 parking right?

 

[Geode]

Has anyone else received an email request from NCST to buy season tix for football to 'ensure' you have a ticket to see Syracuse? I am guessing they have been doing some creative data mining as the only tickets I have ever purchased through NCST were basketball tickets 2 seasons ago.

NCState seems very difficult to work with...Maryland had prices back in the Spring and was very easy to work with.

They are divas. I think they are being very careful with how they handle things because they saw how much Orange was in the RBC center for the Cuse/NC State Basketball game in 2011. I don't think they want that to happen in their football stadium to be honest. I'm really afraid they are looking for a reason to not give us tickets.

I've put in a call to Syracuse's Ticket Department as well, just in case that happens. They aren't willing to give a group discount, but said they would be able to accommodate our request if need be.

(Mark, glad you got my last e-mail. Thanks for responding btw. I'm sorry yahoo mail is horrible. I'm considering switching to g-mail because I'm finding a lot of e-mails just aren't being sent through yahoo. It's frustrating)
