ND v Navy was packedThat's funny because I remember the last game was only half full.

Yeah. No one gives AF about anything BC. Part of the ACC’s brilliant expansion strategy.Ahhh sorry, I was thinking ours against BC. With those two teams it makes sense. FSU will probably pack the place too.
My guy at the ticket office said last time, folks got decent seats from the Ireland website. I checked but they aren’t selling tix till Mar 15 and even then only to people in EU countries.I don't care about the $250 - it's a rounding error on the trip. But the seats currently available are awful. I'm sure the ticket releases are intentional, and run primarily by the event and not GT -- I don't blame GT.
Looks like this for me too. I guess I will just make it up by going to UNC or Blacksburg this year.I lucked out and will be watching it from the comfort of my home for $0.
I’ll be doing some serious relaxing with the money and time I save, rest assured.
I see nothing about this - can you please share where you saw this?I checked but they aren’t selling tix till Mar 15 and even then only to people in EU countries.
Thanks 00B. I haven't seen anything that says Americans will be excluded from purchasing thru ticketmaster (IE or US), and given the seats that left thru GT I don't mind taking that risk anyway.I'm guessing you are accessing the GT2Ireland... URLs.
You have to go to the base website (collegefootballIreland.com...) You might get a redirect back to GT2Ireland... if so, here's what I found:
I hope I’m wrong but when I see “for fans in Ireland and …” I figure they are checking IP addresses and perhaps cc billing adresses for locale.Thanks 00B.

Well, you would kinda have to be "in Ireland" to go to the game, probably helps to be a "fan", too.I hope I’m wrong but when I see “for fans in Ireland and …” I figure they are checking IP addresses and perhaps cc billing adresses for locale.
Well, I bit the bullet today and pretty much finalized my trip. Two weeks in Iceland prior to going on to Dublin on the 23rd, just in time for the game on the 24th
Lucky you, seeing the Northern Lights. I have been to quite a few countries over the past 25 years, but Iceland was still on my bucket list. Since I have already been to Ireland and England and Scotland, this was a great opportunity to do an Iceland tour. and amazingly the tour company I use (and have used many times) is not charging for the transatlantic flights for this particular tour, and that includes going to Dublin. So flight-wise, all I have to pay for is the roundtrip from Augusta to JFK, and fortunately I can cover that with FF points.Jealous! We did a long weekend in January in Iceland a few years back for Northern Lights, and what we were able to see was breathtaking. I want to go back.
We did two weeks in Ireland and NI last time, and we’re kind of picking up some leftovers for a week this time.

This is technically correct, which, as we all know…I hate to break it to you...
They're charging you for the transatlantic flights.

Technically, yes, it's hidden in there somewhere. But the trips later in the year that do not include "free" air, cost the same as what I am paying for this trip. I have been traveling with this company for 20 years, so I actually know a real good deal and a "hidden trick" when I see one, and I have not found any "hidden tricks" in all those years.I hate to break it to you...
