***2011 Bash Update*** (NEED HEADCOUNT FOR GAME - RSVP HERE)

I have been informed by the Rams ticket office that individual game tickets are on sale and THERE IS A 100% REFUND GUARANTEE IN THE EVENT THAT THE LOCKOUT CONTINUES AND PREVENTS THE SEASON FROM STARTING ON TIME.

In light of this, as well as recent news indicating that the lockout will likely end in time for the season to start as scheduled, and the results of my recent Bash poll, I am announcing that the 2011 Bash will be scheduled for:

Sunday, September 11, 2011

Philadelphia Eagles
vs.
St. Louis Rams
12:00 P.M. (CST)

The Bash dinner will be scheduled for Saturday night at a location TBD.

WHAT I NEED NOW IS A HEADCOUNT. PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS THREAD AND IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND AND NEED TICKETS. ALSO PLEASE INDICATE THE NUMBER OF TICKETS YOU ANTICIPATE YOU WILL NEED.

We will try to get tickets comparable to last year's Bash (lower bowl, end zone facing large JumboTron) which should run in the $80-$90 range.

PLEASE RESPOND ASAP!!!!

Thanks!

I'll start.

AvengerRam, party of 1.

laram0...2 tickets

Thanks

Please I would love to go and be down there..!!!
I would love two tickets please!!!

The wife and I are planning on making the trip. 2 tickets if you please.

RamsFanSam, partay of 2.

When and where do we pay for the tickets?

I live about 2 hrs away from St Louis so I probably won't be able to make it to the Saturday night feast but I want to goto the game with you guys.

Right now this should just be a headcount to give to the Rams so that they can find a block of seats for us. When we get closer to the game, and know that there actually will be a game, purchasing info will be sent out. Last year the Rams gave us our own specific ticket assistant to contact.

So there is no confusion, let me say this again:

RESPONDING TO THIS THREAD DOES NOT, IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM, OBLIGATE YOU TO LATER PURCHASE A TICKET. RATHER, I AM ONLY TRYING TO GET AN IDEA OF HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE LIKELY TO NEED TICKETS SO I CAN ADVISE MY CONTACT AT THE RAMS' TICKET OFFICE HOW MANY SEATS TO HOLD.

Put me down for two. I'm going to do everything I can to make it happen.

Put me down for one ticket.

1 for me please

Count me in for 1 ticket. I've been meaning to go to one of these for a long time.

Before this lockout bullcrap I was planning to come with my wife and daughter to the Bash this year. We've been asking for money for the trip for birthdays and holidays instead of gifts to help make this happen. So we were pretty much 100% going to be there. Now because of the uncertaintity of the season happening, I doubt it will happen. The reason is the cost of airfare. With Southwest Airlines, buying tickets way ahead of time, you can get very affordable rates. But these rates are non refundable, so I'm not willing to roll the dice and potentially waste $600. And it's not worth it IMO to pay 3 x's that amount for airfare on short notice. So if the NFL gets it's act together soon we'll be there, if not I guess we'll have to wait til next year.

This is my dilemma as well Josh. Airlines that hold you hostage with non-refundable fares. It's going to be hard for me to lock in with the season still in lock out. I hope something happens soon, because it sounds like there is going to be a good turnout this year, with a lot of new faces.

Speaking of turnout, where are the Brits? Any of you guys from across the pond planning to attend?
