We are going to miami through Wed but only for a family reunion; no tix to anything. We went to our one and only big game last year in NO. I think some of our family are going to tailgate and heckle Saban all day since they live in Miami so I'll probably go with them.

I am.
I'm in Tide Pride, but not enough points, so every year I bid on a reserve option to buy a ticket. So in 2009, 11, and 12, I spent around 60-70 bucks for the option, plus regular ticket price.
the only time I got burned was in 2008, I lost $100 when Bama lost to Florida in the SECCG.
I can't remember why, but I didn't buy an option in 2010, thank goodness.

quote:this. Next time, I'm going to sell my face value tickets at opening market price for a huge profit and wait til week of the game and buy some at half of what I sold them for. Wish I had this year to cover the costs of airfare and hotel.
season ticket holders get them at face value, fwiw.
I chartered a bus in Dallas and sold tickets to it from downtown and to the stadium and paid for my trip vs. Michigan.

Went to the Sugar Bowl for the Utah game. 
Went to Pasadena 01/10, NOLA 01/12 and going to Miami.
I do the reservation thing as soon as it comes out.
Make reservations for flight and hotels on points by Feb or March.
Has worked good so far.
I had extra tickets to sell this year and last you. Last year made a lot, this year enough to cover all the tickets.
Using points enable me to do it right.

I went to the Sugar Bowl in 08, Pasadena in 09, and New Orleans in 11, but I can't make it this year. Tide pride changed the point totals needed to get tickets and my dad came up just short.
This is what happen with me
This is a smaller stadium than NOLA or Pasadena

They didn't have the reservation option. They had a deal where if you bought tickets to the Insight and Fiesta, you could also buy tickets to the BCS. I recovered my investment, and then some from some Barners.

Pasadena via Tide Pride, New Orleans via the lottery thing, Miami via cash. Flying out Saturday morning.
This ain't gonna last forever. Im along for the ride as long as Bama is fortunate enough to keep this roll going.

Yessir. Only one I've missed in the last five years was the cap one bowl.

This guy.
My wife owns a ticket company and I coach football/baseball so it makes it pretty easy for us to get there.
No doubt we are spoiled though.

Yep. Was in Pasadena, N'awlins and headed to Miami via Orlando with the fam. Seen tons of football fans down in Orlando- obviously Ga, Bama, ND, Nebraska but interestingly lots of Auburn shirts. Even more interesting tons of A&M shirts. Couldn't remember who A&M was playing so while standing in line for a ride yesterday there was a pod ( family of four all wearing matching Aggie shirts) standing behind me so I asked them who A&M was playing in their bowl. The mom responded that she didn't know- she just lived there. Huh? Sadly the dad also was wearing a Bama hat along with his Aggie shirt. Guess they were all confused.

I don't know about you guys, but this is how I'd rank my favorite bowl venues that I've seen Alabama play in
1. Independence Bowl
2. Rose Bowl
3. Superdome
4. Cap One
5. Cotton Bowl
Of course...without a doubt...the best bowl game I have ever been to was the 2001 GMAC Bowl
