Message: [QUOTE="SubbaBub, post: 1353585, member: 523"] Ms.Bub's AA handles all bowl travel for alumni, they get their tickets from the AD. They also do educational trips in addition to other events. I do believe WT, is the University's travel agent not just for the AD. I railed about it at the time that the package was terrible. The alumni have a different agenda that the school when it comes to sports travel. To me it's an example of your AA not providing full service, not to mention blowing a huge fundraising and engagement opportunity. All I saw was the tent in Tempe with the make your own UCONN license plate. Here's what the mrs AA offered for their last trip to the rose bowl (did I just give something away). Multiple air/land, land only, and gameday only packages at the 3 star and 4 star hotel level. If I recall their were 2 night and 4 night packages. The air package was full round trip service. Land was the same you just provide your own connection. Game day was just the ticket and pregame. All the air/land tours included hotel, welcome gifts, some bowl swag, a credential ID'ing you as part of the official tour. A welcome event (just a drink reception), a package from the host committee with a bunch of local goings on and some optional tours. Breakfast every day, a pep rally the day before with the band, cheerleaders, mascot, coach and some of the players, game day transfers, bleacher seating at the starting line for the rose parade, game ticket, pregame tailgate with free beer, wine, soda, water, police escort to the game (maximizing said tail gate), dedicated tour staff, and post game snacks. The seats were pretty good too, halfway up at about the 35. All this was less than what Uconn was asking for the Fiesta. All through their Alumni Association. The bonus was during the Fiesta bowl trip, her school was playing in a lesser bowl that day. So we found the local AAs game watch at a bar and they welcomed us with open arms. I think we kicked in $20 each for the lunch. Something to strive for. [/QUOTE]
