[patsox23]

My sources tell me...

For those going to the Vine tonight (Thursday) The New England Patriots Cheerleaders, all 24 of them, will be there at 7PM and only have about a half hour because they have another commitment at 830. They are bringing Pat Patriot with them. All Pats fans are welcome at the Vine, but to see the cheerleaders, have a pic taken, or get autographs, etc, you should be there at 7PM.

I will watch the game at my home in Spain. I will cheer the Patriots, if we win the Superbowl you will listen to me in the United States

 

[SoCal Bong]

I was looking all over for the SB Tickets thread and just now realized that this was merged too. Its the Super Bowl and we can only have one thread for everything?

Anyway, yeah prices are still dropping and I have no idea where the bottom is and when it will get there but if I can find a pair for $3k total then I will take it.

If any of you are in Phoenix for the game, with or without tickets, you missed another awesome night at the Vine on Thursday night.

In our 2nd club event, the Pats Blue Collar Fan Bash, all 24 of the Patriot cheerleaders were there,along with Pat Patriot and they mingled with all of the near 1,000 Pats fans on hand. It was awesome.

Later on a large contingent of Coors Girls came in.

The music entertainment was great and included such selections as "GO PATS, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, SHIPPING UP TO BOSTON (The Papelbon Song), FOR BOSTON (BC) and of course, "Sweet Caroline and much more.

The next scheduled BLUE COLLAR PATS FAN event is SATURDAY NIGHT, FEBRUARY 2nd at 9:00 PM, when there will be a huge Pep Rally and the official Eli Manning Effigy burning as part of the famous VOODOO CEREMONY conducted by Mister Brad Darr of New Orleans, Louisiana.

It is, as are ALL the NEPFCA events, FREE OF CHARGE, AND OPEN TO ALL, AND ANY PATRIOT FANS.

On SUnday, the BIG Super Bowl Game Day Party. FREE ADMISSION

Authorized NEPFCA vendors on hand with Super Bowl and Patriot shirts, hats and other fan stuff....lowest prices anywhere.

If you haven't been to the Vine yet, Saturday night is the next event.

The Vine is open daily, and you can drop in at any time for lunch or an evening bite. There is NO OFFICIAL NEPFCA EVENT SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY.

I'm probably gonna go grab some beers at a buddy of mine's house if you're interested.

Has anyone had any luck finding tickets?

After an absolute nightmare ordeal with an eBay scammer, I now have ticket in hand (plus my money back from the scammer). I'll post our horror story on PatsFans in the future. But for now, I'm keeping somewhat hush-hush since there might be possible legal actions taken. Oh, and I got a pair yesterday for $4150. I saw some pairs going for under $4000.

 

[sbeausol]

can we get a post going where people will be sat night... hoping to meet up with pats fans to party a bit. I'm thinking i'll be heading down to coors light block party? Any one else?

 

[SoCal Bong]

Tickets are down to $1,600

As long as it doesn't jump back up before I get my pair I should be going to the game. I just jinxed didn't I?

If anyone has suggestions on what brokers are reliable and have good prices let me know.

Some of the people I was glad to have met over Super Bowl weekend:

NEM, Scott & Dave (all past presidents) of the NEPFCA - you guys did a fantastic job at the Vine. Dave was on the stadium big screen sometime in the 4th quarter in case anyone can relay the message (though he probably knows)

Kevin from Supahfans - keep the great shirt ideas coming and hopefully we can work something out for next season's road games

Jay, Jeff, Annie, Bill and Toby - had a great time hanging out at the Comcast Party; its amazing what an instant friendship Patriots fanship can provide (I did end up getting tix the next day)

Amani Toomer's trainer (and family) - Giants fans but also pulling for Brady since they live in San Mateo

sbeausol (from this board) - it was great to meet up on Saturday night and head to and from the game together; hope the rest of your Arizona trip is going well

Mary Merriweather - Brandon's mother; hopefully you'll look us up if you come to any of the west coast games next season

Matt Estrella's brother and wife - I just wish we could have had a conversation about the stuff that DOESN'T get reported.

Father of the Patriots Director of Premium Seating - interesting inside info about the perks of being a contract seat holder; hope to see you at Fox Sports Grill in Irvine one day

Lawrence Maroney - saw him in the airport last night and told him what an incredible season they had and he was gracious and thanked me for that (and for not drawing attention to him there in public)

Hope to have a complete trip report later this week but wanted to at least get some of these names noted before I kill more brain cells.
