Group Outing Deadline!!!
I've got some bad news and some good news. First the bad news....I just found out why I haven't been hearing back from our account rep for the last couple of weeks. He no longer works for the Detroit Lions. He was the ticket sales manager and was a big help figuring all of this out and he was the guy that offered to get a couple of us on the field.
The good news is that our new account representative is the Director of Ticket Sales and will help us out in getting all of this set up. According to him, we need to wrap everything up by the end of the day on Thursday July 29th. I will purchase the tickets on the 30th. He said group ticket purchases are coming in strong for the Jets game and if we wait beyond the end of the month it will be hard to find a block of seats together the size we need (60-75 hopefully).

Looks like I won't make the deadline....
my ‘free funds’ are tied up in the sailboat race… But don’t worry, I’ll find some tickets for the game….
Can you refresh us on where the seats are at?
Thanks,

Lower Level Endzone
I think it is the east endzone
Thanks for the update
I should be getting mine in a few days I should be able to beat the deadline. I am aiming for this weekend.

I won't make the deadline
I blew all my extra cash on strippers and coke. I’ll have to find a way to get tickets later down the road. I will be at the tailgate no matter what.
Once again, a big thank you for putting this together. We all owe you a beer or 2 for taking the time to do this

Are u and Profiler the same?
He spent alot of his money on strippers too. Although I did spend more but I paid for my ticket already.

You guys and your strippers...

Kids.. Well Shane,
Kids.. Well Shane,I should be able to purchase my ticket before then. Who has the hookups with the hotels? What’s the 411 on that?! And I would very much like to get there a few hours before the game and do a tailgate in the parking lot. Someone make a huge POD banner so everyone knows where to go. Thanks.
I think were on our own for hotels
Banner would be sweet

4 days Left!!!
as it stands right now, we don’t even have enough people to qualify for the group rate. I’m not sure if everyone is waiting until the last minute or if we really don’t have anyone going. I guess I assumed if you voted on the seating options you were at least considering going. We had somewhere around 65 votes and many people were planning on taking a friend…so far I have recieved money for two tickets plus the three I am buying.
I hope everyone is just waiting???
I should be getting mine tommorow
I rec the post too for ya.

Rec'd
We need more recs…people are going to say they didn’t know about the deadline if we don’t get this post on the rec’d list.
Oh you didn't know?? You're ass better CALLLLLLLL SOMEBODY!!!!!
I'm gonna buy mine tomorrow.
but it is only one, and I have to get airfare too, which I have already been looking at.
I really wanna do this, buy those tickets up everyone.
what happens if we buy tickets and only ten people end up going...
do we just get our money back and were on our own. Because honestly, less than 10 people going would be pretty weak and I’d rather just buy a 1/2 season ticket package. Hey Sean or Drew, you should post an article on the front page and tell about the deadline. Do it.
I would just refund the money...
if we don’t have enough for the group rate. It was a discounted price, so I wouldn’t even have enough to purchase the tickets for the people that did pay. It would be a pretty sad showing anyway.
I’m screwed if we don’t go because I sold my season tickets to this game…now I will have to go buy tickets, hopefully for cheaper than I sold mine.
I wanna order mine but at this point I think it would be a waste
Let us now how many we got on thursday if theres not enough I just won’t bother

Just order them
Refunding the money isn’t an issue…it can be deposited right back into your account or it will be refunded to your credit card. I was worried people would have the same idea…don’t wait. We won’t have an accureate count on Thursday if several people are waiting to see how many were purchased.
Ok
I didn’t know how much of a problem refunds would make for you.

"When people start copying your style, you know that something must be happening." - James hetfield (Metallica)
cool, now where is eveyone else that said they were going?
wasn’t there someone who said they were gonna get 6-8 tickets? That alone would get us close to the group rate. We are at 6 total right now. It would be nice to see at least 20.
By the way Profiler, I checked my account and I did recieve your payment.
cool.
I could swore 3 months ago we had a whole bunch of people going. 6 is kind of a downer this far along. If not maybe we can all get tickets and go together anyways.

I sold my season tickets but I am still going one way or another. If we don’t have enough people for the group rate, those of us that still want to go can work someting out.
cool
I am planning on going to the jets game no matter what so it would be cool if we can still make something happen.

If topher pays for his ticket, we will just keep his money to pay for parking and concessions for us.
Just kidding topher. you better buy your ticket now that i extended the deadline just for you…and the other 50 people that acted like they were going!
LOL!
I got 40 dollars in my account.. How much is a ticket?? I work tomorrow, hopefully I can get the rest!

If you really do want in...
i can wait. It was a bigger deal when we thought we could get up to 50 people. I don’t think it is going to be a problem to get 15 -20 seats together…if we can even get that many. I was already considering taking the chance and extending it until Sunday night anyway.

I was just skimming through the old posts...
wondering why no one has bought tickets. lions_sucker said he was getting 2-4, coolbreeze said he was going, NYCLionsfan said he was defiantely going with his fiance, Nate D. said he was getting 7-8 tickets…am I missing something here???…are you guys buying tickets on your own (individual game tickets aren’t even available yet), or you just can’t make it now?
So far, I believe Profiler, Enforcer, GRLion, myslef, and I think KDawg are going.
I’ll extend this until Sunday and buy the tickets on Monday morning. Lets get a decent group together for this. If anyone still is worried about the paypal thing and trusting me with their $$$, please let me know…my personal email is on the paypal link, send me an email or look me up on facebook. KDawg and I have been talking on Facebook every now and then. He was one of the people originally concerned about sending me his money…I think he would put in a good word for me now if you ask him.
You called me on that one.
I’m back in.

I'm out as of Wednesday!
The damn transmission blew on our VAN and now I’m not going to be able to go, and if you guys don’t hear from me for a couple of days/weeks just know I’ll be missing all of you. Cable service’s scheduled for shut off on the 4th I think. Priorities= need a vehicle more than a trip to Ford field.
How many lumps you want Doc?
will we get more people...
if I switch it to the cheap seats and refund the difference back to those who have already purchased. Those of you who have already purchased let me know if you are ok with that. If so, I can change the prices on the link to around $48 (including paypal fees and lions service charge)…I will have to check on the exact price. I could do that as soon as tonight and leave the link open until monday or tuesday night. At this point, we do not qualifiy for the group rate…would anyone else go if the price was $15 or more lower? It would be corner of the end in the upper level. We need about 8 more people to get the group rate.
My personal opinion is that you can see better from the upper level than the lower level (I voted for upper the first time). I have sat in both multiple times. it isn’t the silverdome…you don’t need binoculars to see from the upper level.
I say yes
If it means more people can come then you should do it. If it was 48 I could get my ticket tonight or tomorrow!
by topherclosson on Jul 31, 2010 3:09 PM EDT up reply actions
I'd perfer lower
But do what you gotta do. I would take upper if it can make this still happen

What I don't get is how so many people said they were going for sure...
And now EVERYONE is having trouble getting the money, or they just lost interest. I can understand a few people having things come up, but almost everyone? Wow…
60+ people voted for the seating options….and now less than 10 people have bought tickets? That is ridiculous.
Oh you didn't know?? You're ass better CALLLLLLLL SOMEBODY!!!!!
me being one of the 60
just b/c you voted dosnt mean its 100% going.. i want to go i just didnt know at the time if i would have it or not.. and i still dont i will probley have to w8 till closer to the game to buy one
i understand that
but to have 7 people purchase tickets is pretty bad.
People were acting like they were interested way past the voting…some people were trying to book hotel rooms and plan a tailgate. We had more people interested in the hotel than what have purchased tickets!!!

45 or w/e would be easyer but... could we see the filed for that?? or would we have a wall in the way?? something to think about
You can see from EVERYWHERE in Ford Field
Have you been there yet det32? It is awesome.
Oh you didn't know?? You're ass better CALLLLLLLL SOMEBODY!!!!!
my season tickets are in section 327
that is the same area our group tickets would be in for $48. I didn’t pick that area because they are the cheapest…I picked them beacuse you can see better from there than in the lower level. Unfortunately, the upper level sidelines are club seats, so that isn’t an option. Although, i have sat in club seats and they are easily the best seats in the house. Anyone who is thinking it is like the 3rd deck of the silverdome is completely wrong. You are nowhere near as far away.

Me and Pheonix Marie..be Jealous (pic)
"When people start copying your style, you know that something must be happening." - James hetfield (Metallica)
At this point...
since we don’t qualify for the group rate, we have to wait for individual game tickets to go on sale, so I will leave the paypal link up for anyone else interested in going for now. Hopefully we can still make it to 15 so we can at least get the discount.
Anyone who has purchased and isn’t interested in waiting to see if we get enough people, let me know if you want you money refunded. Otherwise, when individual tickets go on sale I can still order tickets for anyone that has paid…we will need to work something out becasue the price paid is with a group discount…we could just pick a cheaper section or you can get me the money later. I can foot the bill for the extra $5-$10 (or whatever it is) per person for now for the 6 guys that have paid if we just end up buying them at regular price.
Profiler, if you want to try the Jets thing out, do it. I’m not wasting anymore time on this…like i said before, i would try to limit their #‘s somehow. If we end up with 25+ people at this point, we will probably won’t be able to get all of the seats together because we have waited so long to order.
SLH, I'll pay any extra charge for my ticket
I took to long buying my ticket, thats the least I can do.
Also, some Jet fans would be cool. We would have someone to get our drinks for us!
forget it I think
I am willing to pay extra for an individual ticket as well..We just do it that way I think. My main concern is we know how Jets fans and jersey fans can be…Do we really wanna drink with those guys. I doubt it.

interested!!
Is it too late to get in on the outting? And if not, what is the situation as far as seat location, cost, tailgating, etc if any of that is finalized yet?
not too late
go to www.podgroupouting.blogspot.com to buy a ticket(s) and for more info.
The tickets are for the lower level endzone. If we don’t end up with 15 or more people, you will owe me an additional $5-10 dollars because the price at that link includes a group discount. We had talked a little about tailgaiting in a past post…I’m sure we will work out those details when the game gets closer.
We would be more than happy to have you. The payment is made through paypal so you will have a reciept of payment.
