fwiw, you can spend an entire week at a decent all inclusive resort in the Caribbean for around $800 including air.
I dont see how these game packages are so expensive.

Hotels in Seattle, WA are a little bit more high priced than the Carribean.

so you think 3 nights in Seattle > 6 nights in the Bahamas?

I am not saying that Seattle is nicer than Jamaica. I am just saying that they give away trips to those areas all the time for cheap because the cost of the living in Jamaica is much much cheaper than living in Seattle. I dont think anyone will disagree with that statement.
If your not interested, then dont sign up - I am just trying to let people know about a trip that is planned. Some may be interested, some may not be.

for what it's worth, I checked travelocity today... I can get RT airfare from NO, 3-4 star hotel for 5 nights (2nd-7th) for about 1000-1200$ TOTAL for 2 PEOPLE. I understand the whole convenience thing, if I were 60 years old and lazy, but that's not a great deal.

That has to be a long arse bus ride as well(2645 MILES), sounds like a very, very shitty deal, IMO

The guy is just posting some info. If you want it fine, if not, quit being a puss and crying like a lil girl.

it's actually a horrible deal. like you posted, it's possible to get round trip and a hotel for 2 people for half price. so you end up paying $900 for a meal at a chain restaurant and a boat ride

Does anyone know if vasoline is included in the cost of the trip?
Posted on 4/23/09 at 9:45 pm to lsuin09
Yes I did go to PBS.
By the way the deal is great if you dont want to have to worry about anything. Like I mentioned above and on many other posts - it is not for everyone. I am just trying to offer this to some LSU Fans. If it is not for you, so be it.
Our trips include tickets - that one less thing you have to worry about. Tickets to the Washington game will be very difficult to come by - so you sometimes pay a little more on our trips for the convenience of not having to worry about getting a ticket.
Also - generally we stay at some of the finer hotels in the area we are going to.
Of course you could book your own trip for cheaper - but try including everything my package. Compare apples to apples. Try booking 3 nights at the Grand Hyatt Seattle, have bus transportation to and from the pre-game meal that and the boat portion, plus the game ticket. Also you are getting Free Breakfast, and a Free Welcome reception on Thursday evening (Which includes free drinks and food.)
I am not saying that you can't book your own trip for cheaper, but we have many people (many of which who are under 45) who like to book with us because it is no hassle and you don't have to worry about a thing.
On another note - to the poster who said that is a long bus ride. Ground Package does not mean we are taking a bus to and from Seattle - it means you get to Seattle on your own and we take care of the rest.
Sorry if I offended you with this offer - it was not intended for that. Just trying to help some Tiger Fans out. As I said - this will gaurantee you a game ticket.

Not trying to roast you here but not including transportation makes it even worse, but good luck

It's really great that someone thought to put this package together. If you want to bitch about the prices, maybe you shouldn't have been a kinesiology/history major. Thanks for the offer!
