    Hey folks,

    Just thought I'd start a thread to see if anybody if travelling for any games this year?

    Heading to Baltimore in September myself for Ravens v Browns. My first time getting to see the Ravens.

    So, any body else plan to head over for a game or two?

    I live 5 hours drive from Seattle across the border so I'm heading down for a game later in the year. Can choose between v Bucs early November or Vikings early December. I have a soft spot for the Bucs for pure entertainment value, could see the Vikings one end 17-9 or something like that. Will be travelling with a Ravens fan, 49rs fan, Saints fan and Browns fan (me) so no direct interest in the game, just a first time for all of us. Any help in deciding?

    I'd personally go to the Vikes game because I'd rather watch 2 good teams (especially in December as both will likely be vying for a playoff spot), but the Buccs will probably be a more 'fun' game alright. Completely depends on what ye want to see tbh!

    Was hoping to head to an ND game and a Bears game on a single weekend, but not sure that'll happen. Plan B is Saints v 9ers. Which is an alright plan B to have.

    September 28th/29th: Virginia @ ND and Vikings @ Bears
    November 23rd/24th: BC@ND and Giants @ Bears

    Yeah I was really hoping they'd schedule a Packers game the same weekend as the USC game. Nobody in either office gave a single thought to my vague, pie in the sky plans.

    Jags fan here, but heading over to Wisconsin in December with a couple of Packers fans to the Redskins - Packers game. was at Colts - Jags last December in Jacksonville. Expecting a serious weather difference between the 2 :eek:. Really looking forward to seeing Lambeau though.

    Not getting over there til close to the end of college season so doubt we'll be getting to a Badgers game.

    Heading over to the Seahawks @ Rams game in LA in December. Would it be better to buy tickets on StubHub or TicketMaster?

    Going to be in Washington on the 6th October, so will try to get to the Patriots game.

    Am pretty sure I'll be in Ny for the Giants/Skins game on the 29th as well, but not so sure about tickets to that one!

    Basically the same ticket in the same section (2 rows apart) was $30 cheaper on Ticketmaster - so yes!

    yeah tell me about it, was going to stretch to what was a premium seat, but that would mean about $290 for one seat

    Pfft .. 290 for a ticket. Its a tough ask for anyone. The NFL really exploits fans n the costs, but I suppose whats rare is wonderful and only 8 home games ... still thats a shocking price.

    as a standard, yes, Ticketmaster will be cheaper.

    The advantage I found buying from StubHub when I went to the Jags in Florida last year and Packers in Green Bay this year is that you will find seats that are not available on Ticketmaster (whether because the specific areas are already sold out, or because you're getting tickets in season ticket areas).

    For the Green Bay game, we're only paying maybe $10 more per ticket for seats we actually prefer, compared to the similar sections that had tickets available on Ticketmaster. So it really depends what you're looking for.
