Texas Rangers Game Friday 5/29
Paul Murphy:
A former colleague of mine (now working in the UK) and myself would also like to go too, so 2 more people for the shuttle/van or whatever form of transport.

What is the situation regarding tickets - do we buy them ourselves or as a group?
Richard Hitchcox:
They offer a 40% discount on tickets purchased online through GovX for active and former military and first responders. A link is provided below.

My wife and I have been looking at this, because we will be coming back in June with our kids for the Texas State Youth Bowling Tournament. Each qualified person can purchase a certain number of discounted tickets, but I'm not sure how many that would be per qualified person.
If you go to the link there is a FAQ page, and almost all people who are employed by the military or a law enforcement agency or have a .mil or .gov email address qualify for the discounted tickets. I think that includes the vast majority of AFTE members. I went to the page due to my pride in having retired from the US Army.
Anya:
I figured we would just buy the tickets when we got there so we could get a block of tickets together.
I would pre order them but I don't want to put out money for them and have someone no show. We could maybe use the link that Richard provided and meet up in the hotel lobby at like 6:00pm and do it right then and someone could charge the lot and collect the money once everyone is physically there.
What I plan to do once I'm in town is take to the concierge and see what he recommends to get us a shuttle to the game.
As of right now, I have nine:
Me
Valerie + 2
Jill
Calissa + Blake
Paul + Kerry
That should make the shuttle price palatable if we split it nine ways.
Again, I am on the body farm tour Friday and we are scheduled to be back to the hotel at 6:00, so I am hoping to have our shuttle ready to go at 6:00 and basically jump off of one bus and onto another.
Watch this thread for more info.
It'll work out, I just need to be there before I can get all of the logistics solidified!
Bob Burns:
If you get a shuttle and still have room, my wife and I would like to join the group. We were also planning on going to the game, but I hadn't figured out transportation yet.

Anya--
I suggest you reach out to Rebecca Koenigs from Discover Dallas Tours. She should be able to help with transportation and game tickets.
