Charter Buses?

[MissouriCyclone]

I think it would be great idea for ISU to have a charter bus for students to go. Greyhound has $311 round trip tickets from Des Moines to NYC. Maybe Windstar (They take the football team I believe) could make a deal with ISU and make it a little cheaper for students. Package deal could include ride there and a stay in a hotel. Could be well under $600. We don't need the extra perks, just want to be at the game. Could get a lot of students there which would make us look better and beat KSU's ticket sales of 3200.

They need to do something.

My dad drives for Windstar...I'll see what I can do. (Lol I'll ask but he's a part time driver so has no pull whatsoever lol)

Students? How about just fans in general...

That works too...

Want cheap? Pack 3 of your friends into a car and drive. Less than $100 gas each. Split hotel rooms 4 ways so you're only covering $40ish/night or less if you plan well. Get the $45 tickets. Can easily be done under $400 if you don't eat extravagantly.

Chris...you should put together a Cyclone Fanatic bus trip. Good advertising for you and you guys could make a few bucks in the process. Somebody needs to do this! Find a need and fill it right? I'd be up for staying the night before or something then going back after the game so we get back before NYE.

Send JP an email [email protected] and suggest it.

I have done some calculations for mileage and assuming 2400 miles and 28 mpg calculate to 85.7 gallons. The current national average is $3.43 per gallon, but if you figure $3.5 that comes to $300 in gas. I found hotel rooms for $120+tax in NJ for 3 nights. So

$75 for gas
$120 for 3 nights of hotel (threw in $40 a night in taxes)
$45 for ticket
Total of $240 for everything except food and alcohol. I think you could easily do under $400 and really probably could do under $300 if you everyone chips in and buys food and beer together.

I think the only problem would be the 20 hour drive but with 4 people you could take shifts and drive straight through.

not to be a buzzkill but i remember last year someone went through all the work of setting this up. When it came time to sign up not enough people did so it didnt work out

and if you stay 3-4 hours outside NYC in Pennsylvania you can easily do cheaper than the $120.

Yeah and that would keep you away from the NYC bars which are probably a lot more also.

If a bus trip becomes a realistic idea I would be seriously interested.

 

[brianhos]

You want to sit in a bus all the way to NYC?

I just did a quick look on delta, and the price to fly there is $435. And you are there in 4.5 hrs.

 

[BurgundyClone]

Call me crazy -but what about having some donors help "sponsor". I can't make it, but I think I could pitch in to the cause to help get ISU students to the game. Wonder if there are others out there that would be interested in helping in this way -that can't make the trip???

Re: Charter PLANE?

Rumor has it.................if you are a member of CR or know someone over there ................... some really nice guy is looking into a one day "out and back" charter for the game at around $500 per person. Exploring the amount of interest anyway!!!
