Road Trip

[RaiderGirl33]

I'm in Erie PA and have planned to go see the Buffalo game since the schedule came out. Well it turns out that allot of fans from here are planning to go so we were thinking of getting a bus to drive over. Have any of you ever done this before? How would I go about doing it? I know that I'll need to get about 50 people but that shouldn't be a problem. Do I buy the game tickets and add that into the price or does everyone buy their own? Any help with how to do this would be appreciated. It looks like we will be taking over the place. BTW anyone in the Erie area that would be interested throw me a PM

Call a bus company in your area. I work with a local charter company and they have all types of rides - from Cadillac SUVS to 30-40 passenger buses like this - .

Rates vary with when you book and how far in advance. I just booked a hummer/shuttle to the airport – 120 miles round trip and it was $140 – to give you an idea.

I would start by emaiing the Bills group tickets and see what is available.

I would try to get group tix and work it in the price,you will get a lot more people to commit IMO.

From what I have heard, this is going to be a hard game to get tickets for. I'm trying to set something up also, but am meeting different people out in the area and will hopefully do a tailgate before and after.

Hopefully you can join our group.

The coach company isn't open until Monday so I can't get a quote until then but they have a Mini Bus that fits 30 people that I'm thinking of getting, It has a bathroom, TV with DVD player so we can watch The History of the Oakland Raiders on the 2 hour drive. The Bills website says that the tickets go on sale June 21 at nine I'm going to try to get into the upper level somewhere in rows 21-38. Group tickets come with a Bills hat so we'll have stuff to burn. We would be happy to meet up with some of you I'd like to put a face to some of the names on here

Have you also tried asking anybody in Oakland? I know the team gets tickets for away games but I don't know how many. That's why there are tickets on game day usually, the VS team returns the tickets that they didn't use.
Again, i don't know if anybody has access to them or if they are just for the team and players. When they came to Indy in 2001 I got a set of tickets from them, but I know somebody in the front office

Not sure if you've been to "The Ralph" before but as a point of information, Tailgating can begin as early a Friday evening, so don't be shy about leaving early on Sunday morning to get to the parking lot for a full day of Tailgating that can last well into late Sunday night. If you get a spot in the RV lot, there are real bathrooms with showers and flush toilets.
