Brolly's Mania 28 Travel!

    Right, before I begin...I knows its very fecking early to be doing this, but I want to get the best deal possible on a bus (before they put Mania weekend price tags on the charters!).

    So, like Mania 26 in Phoenix, I am organising a bus to Mania...We can sort out various pick-up points in Miami if necesary.

    Going by the prices already got, its looking like €17 - €20 per person return (but I'd be confident that I'll get that price down). The largest bus that I have been quoted for is a 41 seater, so more room than Phoenix!:)

    Anyway, if interested, post below and when it comes to booking etc in a few months time, I'll go on a first come, first serve basis.

    It will pick-up in Miami (I'll organise pick-up points closer to the time) going to the Stadium for Mania and back afterwards. It just saves everyone looking for cabs. Its always a mad rush to try and get a cab back after Mania...we ended up walking for a few miles in Houston before eventually getting a cab!

    I organised a bus in Phoenix and went well...I think everyone was happy anyway!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,169 ✭✭✭jmolloy


    sounds good count me in if you still got room, I'll confirm closer to package purchasing but pretty sure now I'm going next year as well

    That Houston post Mania taxi struggle was great. :)

    That Houston post Mania taxi struggle was great. :)

    It was funny seeing you and your chair on the floor of the cab!:P:pac:

    I hope you remember the fact that I carried that fecking chair for 2 miles!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 526 ✭✭✭Initium


    At WM25 my family and me walked like 25 or 30 minutes to get a taxi, and me had to carry 3 chairs!! Glad we got one right on the exit of the highway, it was crazy getting a taxi, I saw lines as long that I'm sure they were waiting for nearly 2 hours...

    At WM26 with my VIP parking pass provided by Brolly ;), my car was the FIRST one right on the entrance/exit so I didn't wait a single second :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,123 ✭✭✭The Bull


    Am seriously considering going to Miami for WM. Put me and my mate down, Back on the Brolly bus again!!!!!!!! Oh the memories :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 202 ✭✭Bjoern79

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,785 ✭✭✭Kane-N-Nite


    Nearly 20 names already. You may need a coach come next April. :)

    Once I have final numbers before July/August, I will book and pay for a bus. I'll split the cost and put up a paypal payment page. I don't think it will cost anymore than about €14 return ($19).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,132 ✭✭✭Andy_rse


    Me and a mate are seriously considering making the trip. The bus sounds like a great idea. If we do book the trip we'll take a seat.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1 BushwhackerDel


    Put me down for this. Would be a great help, took ages to get a taxi in Phoenix.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,492 ✭✭✭EdK


    Just reiterating my interest for 2 definitely possibly 3 danke


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 173 ✭✭*tripsi*


    seriously considering going to this, have never been before. Could someone give me a heads up on the overall price? :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,492 ✭✭✭EdK


    Depends what you go to and what tickets you buy,this year we did 6 nights hotel,flights ,Wrestlemania,HOF,RAW,ROH and a basketball game for €1200 ish each but it could easily go €1500 or more depending on the tickets you buy and the events you add


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,199 ✭✭✭G-Money


    I wants to go too. For real this time!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 98 ✭✭Swift8933


    Just found this forum and this thread. Am planning to make my first Mania trip next year and this is a great idea. I would definitely like a place.


  • Subscribers Posts: 2,163 ✭✭✭Brolly

    It's a travel package one step ahead wwe travel packages! :D He organices everything to get a VIP suite, drinks, food, and VIP bus earning 0 cents from anyone who wants to join his group. In fact I'm sure he spend a lot of his time, and money from his pocket (phoning to the US) just to make everyone a perfect WM vacation. RKJ he got me a VIP parking pass for WM 26 that was just in the front of the main gate, like 20 seconds walking, do you knowhow difficult is that at an event like WM with more of 70.000 people?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 192 ✭✭RKJ_force


    that sounds pretty interesting!!!! So he has and hotel in the price i read??? also how much does the package cost? also package does not include flights right??? last 1 man you as I know everytime you go ringside for mania and brollys package has tickets for suites so I guess then you didnt got the package but how he managed to get for you the VIP parking?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 526 ✭✭✭Initium


    RKJ, he doesn't do a package like talking in a business mode, he just do it for friends and people on this board. I think he looked for a hotel but each one got their own reservation, same with flights of course. About VIP parking he got one or 2 passes with the VIP SUITE, so I bought one from him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 109 ✭✭LiamBro


    Put me down and my brother, this sounds like a great idea.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 136 ✭✭Barcelonafan


    I would also be interested in this for 2 people just let us know when you're booking it..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,587 ✭✭✭Xinkai
