Maybe when we fired Ticketmaster from athletics, we had to hire them for AA events.

$60 bus ticket
$25 facility fee
$30 convenience fee
$35 up yours fee

There’s your $150

I'm sure they took a big loss for the Independance Bowl last year. Had 3 busses, but well over half the people cancelled the morning of, when they saw it was about 11 degrees in Shreveport. We ended up taking 2 busses, each about half full. Was a good trip. But when they opened that bus door at the stadium, the rest of us probably wished that we had cancelled too. I've never felt cold like that.
So maybe they are using this trip to recoup last years loss.

If that’s what they are doing, then they think we are all dumb and can’t do math.

Maybe the higher cost will eliminate some of the "riff raff" posting on this board!

Here is what it would look like at $40

. . . well, apparently they have out-dumbed themselves . . .

There wasn't a refund; at least we didn't take one.

Didn't think we got refunds from last year for canceling. I know I didn't. Most likely reason for the cost of the trip is the cost to the alumni association to have the trip. I'm pretty confident the AA isn't making a profit on this trip, even if the bus is full.

$7500 for a 2 hour bus ride and a case of Coors light and some Cheetos? Ok, sure.

[CajunVic]

. . . the Cheetos are gold plated . . .

It's hard to disagree; the cost is on the high side. But we went ahead and signed up anyway for convenience. We're getting older and just dont want to make that drive.

Myself also. I am going alone and I just did not want all of the hassle of driving, parking, etc. I rode the bus for the Marshall Bowl game, and it was great. I hope they fill the bus.
