It is very cheap. I have free tickets. The hotel downtown and the flight will be a little less than 400. Doesn't sound expensive at all that usually consists of a weekend at a bar


congrats, you did very well there .. you could drop that driving to auburn for a game ..

We've made it our summer trip - going to Vancouver a few days prior to the game. Prices aren't too bad from KC to Seattle. You probably are looking @ close to $2,000 though - a lot of dough for a road trip for probably a ho-hum game. KC.

I'm going. A friend of mine lives in Seattle and I've been before and had an absolute blast. It's an incredible part of the country, and if you can couple it with an LSU victory, I don't see how it gets any better.

I'm looking forward to it. It's an awesome city.

that's going on the cheap, though and it is still a grand .. splitting a hotel room with 4 people .. holy shite .. i haven't been to summer camp in 25 years .. and there's no sightseeing or anything in your price either .. you could get to $2K without blinking ..

that's the smart thing to do .. because i don't think the game is going to be much, might even be a repeat of the 2003 arizona game ..

Could be onto something here.

FWIW I'm still in along with my posse. We're drivng to save a little cash but we're stopping in yellowstone to do some hiking too.

No reason to not go now v when I decided I would.

4 people: 2 beds... no big deal to me. oh well to each his own.

Doubt we'll spend 1000 on sightseeing but I did forget to include cabfare for the weekend.

Guess the reason it doesnt seem like much money to me is I bought the plane ticket in April, book the hotel last month. Spreading out the costs helps.

NOBODY thought that everyone that applied for tickets would get them. Just to cover our bases we not only applied for tickets, we asked three or four other people there were not going to the game to apply also just to be sure we would get tickets. Everyone got tickets so now the people that tried to cover the bases are now trying to sell their excess. My wife and I are a part of a group of 14 going. We started with eight and our numbers keep going up.
