Buckeye Fans, Book Your Trip To New Orleans

 
There’s no doubt about it Ohio State is going to the Sugar Bowl. The real question is whether or not you’ll be there to cheer on the Buckeyes in person.

Coming off a stunning 59-0 win over Wisconsin last Saturday night, the college football playoff committee voted yesterday to elevate the Buckeyes to number four in the final rankings of the first playoff field. Because of this decision Ohio State will battle Alabama in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans on New Years Day. If you’re planning on bringing in the New Year with the Buckeyes then it might cost you a pretty penny.

Kyle McPeck, general manager at Ticket Crush stated, "If you want to fly down and stay at a decent hotel in New Orleans, you’re looking at about $1,400 per person."

The cost for a single person may seem high, but if you head to Louisiana in a group that cost does begin to fall. AAA is offering Sugar Bowl packages for single, double, triple, and quad traveling.

"it’s a chartered air flight so if you go in a group it’s cheaper then booking it on your own," said Rhoda Collins, a Sales Manager at AAA. "However, we did put a land package together because a lot of people like to go get their own air fair online, they think that you can get air fair online but you can book the land portion and get the land on your own."

Purchasing that land only package will save you about $800.00 per person. If you plan on driving you can even calculate the amount of money you will spend on gas using websites like distincesonline.com. This will help you to better budget money so you can spend that extra cash on the important things. Like souvenirs, and Ohio State memorabilia.

Both travel organizations are expecting to sell out of sugar bowl packages very quickly. So if you are a die hard buckeye fan the make sure you book your trip to New Orleans as soon as possible.
