I booked Southwest from Boston round trip for about 160. Home in time to watch the Pats game on Sunday.
 
Sounds like good deals. I wouldn't be caught dead on Southwest but I'm sure it's fine if you're under 50 and don't care about the cattle car feeling. If any of you have ever been to SE Asia and flown Air Asia you'll know that airline is an example of a no frills carrier with real bargains that treats you with some dignity. It's sad when airlines like Air Asia and Bangkok Air are far superior to US carriers. Even Lao Air is better with damn good pilots in their mostly ATR 72's. Anyway, just venting a pet peeve because I travel to Asia regularly and never fly any US carrier, here or there, if I can help it. Have great trips and a big win.

I'm 52 and fly Southwest regularily... need to know the tricks of early boarding. Unless you have super elite status on another carrier and upgrades come frequently - all air travel is crap these days.
 
Has anyone got tickets through uconn for the game yet? It looks like they have section 2 and them some upper deck ones. There is currently a deal on living social for upper deck seats for 15 bucks. My question is-- if i get them through uconn, is there anyway to assure that i'd be in Section 2? If not i mine as well get the 15 dollar tickets and just walk over to the uconn section in the upper deck. My buddy says its pretty much a free for all in the upper deck because it doesnt' get real crowded... Any thoughts?

Also i'll be driving my RV down to the game and parking in the RV lot with the buses much like michigan-- can't wait!

I dunno guys...$160 for a plane?

$159 for a bus ride, game ticket, hotel stay and tailgate party sounds pretty tempting. But see you guys in College Park...the more the merrier!
 
Southwest improved dramatically when they went to a numbered boarding system. The old cattle-call system where whoever was at the gate first got the best seats was a joke, and I would never fly them.
 
might as well start making some noise. twitter people and everyone in general should end anything md talk/chat wise with #OccupyByrd. juices flowing...
 
Can't wait! The Michigan tailgate was a blast. Gotta show these Maryland kids how UConn does things.

Southwest is the best. I have trouble going back to the old way. It takes forever to board. Also, less funny business than the others in my experience. Things like cancellations for no apparent reason.
 
I call Southwest "School Bus of the skies"! My last choice in air carriers! But sometimes you don't have a choice...as far as I know they're the only airline you can fly BDL to BWI...and it's such a short flight. I was thinking about canceling my hotel and flying down that morning and flying home that night. Not quite sure if I want rush around all day tho?

What you get

  • Choice of Two Game Packages with Tickets in Sections 310 to 312
    • $15 for One Ticket
    • $32 for One Ticket, Two Car Flags, and $10 to Spend on Concessions
Bicker as you might about whether the Big East or ACC is the better football conference, when it comes time for kick-off there's only one thing that matters: today's deal. Catch the Maryland Terrapins as they take on the University of Connecticut Huskies in College Park on September 15 when you pay $15 (regularly $30) for a ticket in sections 310, 311, or 312. Or, up your fanship and pay $32 (regularly $65) for a ticket in the same sections and enjoy two car flags and $10 to spend on concessions. The season may not be decided after this game, but it may just keep the conference argument at bay... for now.
 
i guess their new coaching hire didn't rejuvenate the fan base like they thought it would. you gotta love that you get your ticket for free if you get 3 friends to buy one. if we ever have to resort to these types of gimmicks for ticket sales it'll be a very sad day. in the meantime it's great that Husky fans can go to the game on the cheap.

Johnbuoy, that may be the single greatest post in boneyard history. . . .at least mine! scarfed up 8 today. I've sat up there, not bad seats. If things work out the way we all would like them to there could be plenty of room to move around later.
There are bargains to be had on stubhub, although factoring in fees living social deal slightly better now. But stubhub prices could be sinking like a stone after Game 2

Yea, I bought from the University. It's more money but I gotta sit with UConn fans. The experience is so much better then being "that guy" in the middle of Maryland fans.

look at the guys running the buses as well, they have group sales seats that will be with UConn fans, and cheap too.
 
Just purchased 4 tickets last night. Stubhub sec 4, visitor side 30 yardline. $50.00 each. Be careful tickets in rows a - k insections 4, 5, and 6 have obstructed views. Did some research on this and basiclly the seats are very low and the players block the field. These lower level tickets are from $11.00 to $20.00. However, from the sound of things it looks like there will be empty seats in the stadium. If your money situation is tight I would be willing to bet you could move to better seats or even move to sits in the UCONN fan visitor seats. The Visitor seats are on the visitor team side in the endzone very similiar to UCONN's set up and then go up into the upper tiers. The UCONN tickets I think cost $58.00 each, which honestly is a ripoff for endzone seats.

Go Huskies!!!
 
Based on the UM stadium seating chart the UCONN seats are in section 2. I also prefer to sit with UCONN fans. It does make for a nice atmosphere. I have done this in Charlotte, Michigan, Toronto and many other games. But my thought for this game is Maryland doesn't sellout and moving over to the visitor section will not be a problem from what I have been told. Anyways, anyone who wants better seats we will start the game 2 sections over in section 4. I have a feeling there will be many UCONN fans around us at this game.

Love to see 3000 fans turnout or is that crazy?
 
Spoke to the people in our party ( about 20 from Bristol). We are planning to go to Ledo's restaurant Thursday night for RE radio show. I believe it is from 7 -8 pm. Not looking to cause any trouble, but it would be great if it was full of UConn fans. Anyone down there that night make plans to join us. Heading to Looney's right after to watch Packers / Bears game. reply to this post if you think you will be there. Go Huskies.
 
i really wish i could make it to that. the next best thing will be hearing UConn chants in the back ground of RE's radio show. how can i listen to that, does anyone know the station?
