Flights were very high this morning, but I just found some from $292 including taxes/fees out of O'Hare leaving Wednesday and returning Tuesday on Priceline. Going out of Milwaukee is extremly high right now and you save about $100 per person if you come back on Tuesday instead of Monday.
I found Hotwire.com fares of $205 including tax from Chicago and $260 from Milwaukee last night at about 1:00am, but those were gone this morning and up to the prices at all of the other online sites.
I decided to take the Priceline tickets for $292. Has anyone on here made hotel reservations in Jacksonville if you are going? I am still looking around for where the best/somewhat affordable area to stay is.

I called the ticket office and they said that it is unlikely that they will arrange any form of travel because of the timing of the games and the prices. They must not have been able to get anything too much better than whats already available.

i just called the ticket office and they are NOT offering any means of transportation down there. There is NO bus and isnt a plane. The lady i talked to say they are just selling the tickets. Which sucks....

i think i may be screwed. with an exam til noon wenesday i dont have much room to maneuver flight times for price and i cant pay more than 300 for the plane. i think i maybe driving straight through. another questions, i know the ticket office isnt offering anything travelwise but i assume they will have a block of hotels?

I know I am screwed since I have a test Wednesday night. This time was the worst for me so looks like I will be watching the game on tv.

Looks like I'll be praying for a berth in the Sweet 16 in the Mini Apple too. It's too expensive for me to fly and taking three days off work to go on such short notice is impossible.

if you wanna go and you don't wanna drive then sign up for the fan bus that is being put together, you will get a way to and from hotel, and game ticket as well. a really good option for those that want to go but don't want to drive.....call the ticket office for all the details and to sign up
