Ay Dios Mio.  Lol.

So you get 2 tickets?  Request one and get a companion one?  Wow.

Cool idea. Not sure how many students will actually show with the distance.

Unlike Birmingham the ticket price isn't gonna make or break the trip for some.

Hope this didn't kill SG'S budget either.

Are you kidding? The ticket price for the game is the least of my worries. How about hotel, airfare, and food? That alone could add up to well over $500.

yea i think they would of been wiser to take the money they spent on these 1,000 tickets (probably about 30,000) and put it to a travel package...like renting a few buses or something

[Jamie]

Buses are impractical because it would take two full days to drive from Tampa to El Paso. I could drive from Fort Worth to El Paso and it would still take me about 10 hours, even though it's in the same state.

I feel kind of bad for the students because travel is going to be prohibitively expensive for a lot of them. This was probably all the athletic department could afford to do.
