Hi All,

The season is quickly approaching and since it is so difficult to get Eagles tickets without being a season ticket holder, I always get stuck paying a ton for a game or 2 on ebay.  This year, I started looking into some away games and found that it is very easy, and cheap to get tickets to Panthers games.  Being that thats our first game this year, I think that i am gonna jump on the opportunity, only go to one game, but make it an opening day celebration.  

I want to share some of my findings if anyone else would be interested.  I would love to have some other Eagles fans around to hang out with!!

On Expedia, they are running a special on Trips from Baltimore to Charlotte.  It's $105.00 roundtrip per person including all of the taxes!  I know it may be a little bit of a farther drive down to BWI, but i think its worth it!   (Its $148.00 from Philly.)

Game tickets are selling for as little as $60.00.  I have searched craigslist and ebay.   They have available tickets through the Panthers Box Office still, but only in 2 game packs.  You'd have to buy the Vikings game for December 20th as well as the Eagles.  I may just do this and then try to sell my Vikings tickets. 

There are hotel specials as well.  I am likely going to Book the Westin in Charlotte thats about 4 blocks from the stadium.  Its $370.00 and covers Saturday night and Sunday night....flying out Monday.  They have cheaper hotels.  We just always stay in Westins to rack up some points.  I found hotels downtown for as little as $72.00 per night.

Anyways...there are the fruits of my labor!   I enjoy traveling and searching for some "Too Good To Be True" deals.   I think this one qualifies, especially if you fly from BWI, and book the cheaper hotel with 4 people in it.

Flight (105.00) + Game ticket ($60.00) + Cheaper Hotel (Split 4-ways $36.00)  = $201.00 for a weekend in Charlotte and an Eagles opening game!!

I hope someone else finds this helpful, and hopefully we can meet up in Charlotte.  First Beer is on me!
