Ok, just gonna throw this out there.

I finish cancer treatments in early March. My diagnosis in Jan. 2022 came right (like, one day) after my son's one-year "all clear" from his sarcoma battle (bone cancer) during 2020.

Regardless of how it has been for me these last few years, my bride has been an absolute rock star. Cancer mom to Cancer wife, she is unshakeable.

She did ask me about the two of us taking a trip in March for a weekend, just the two of us, to just breathe and look forward to life ahead. She talked about the beach, the mountains, Charleston, etc.

Last night, she looked at a calendar and got excited about Georgia v. UT at the end of March. She asked if I thought I could find us tickets for Friday and Saturday's games. She wants to come in Thursday night and drive back through the night Saturday night so we make it to church on Easter Sunday.

I like the idea: Drive down Northshore. Go leave flowers on Daddy's stone. Eat wings at the Bijou. See good baseball. Breathe in East Tennessee air until my lungs are full.

Anyway, I know we have a "Tickets for Sale" forum, but I thought I'd check with you guys first, because, well, you *kinda* know me, so thought I might have better luck with you guys first.

If nothing else, I will give the ticket forum a shot. If prices are too crazy, well, I might just listen to Wilkerson streaming on my phone as I cruise the Blue Ridge in a rented convertible. That wouldn't be too bad. either.

It is worth a shot....thanks,

Hey brother, I can’t help you on tickets but I know a guy that likes to help a Vol fan out. (Those dates would be 28-31?)with a free place to stay.

Edit: lol, that sounded a little shady. My wife and I operate an Airbnb and the vast majority of guests have a connection to UT one way or another.

Hey RW, I'm sorry to hear about the travails, but it's great to hear that you are hanging in there.

Regarding tickets, if you go to the ticketmaster site for basevols tickets (link below), there is a pre-sale for remaining tickets for SEC games on Wednesday, 3/6 at 10am. I'm not sure how many tickets will be available and how difficult it will be to get tickets. I can say that I accessed a similar pre-sale for non-SEC tickets, which were $24 each, although SEC games will likely be more expensive. I'm not sure if you would have access to the pre-sale, but I should as a season ticket holder for football and basketball, happy to help if I can.

If season tickets are the key to access to the pre-sale, I will not have access; any help that could be provided would be solid!

If they sell individually, we are looking at Friday/Saturday. If they sell a three game package, I’d take it. (I have a pretty good idea for an Easter Sunday ticket giveaway I would offer up here on VN.)

Man, that is an awesome offer! If we get tickets, I will let you know. If the place books up in the meantime, well, the offer made my day! 😁

This is a good question and I figured the answer was no. Do they even open the box office anymore? Can you walk up and get two tickets for the midweek games?

Nope. We blocked those dates off until y’all decide. I can post a link and then promptly delete the post after you lemme know you copied it, any time. This isin’t charity this is why we built it, yall have already paid. We gotta stick together. The thought of UGA fans staying there makes me wanna vomit.

Sounds good. Pretty sure they sell all tickets as individual games. I should know a few days beforehand if I’ll have access to presale and I’ll let you know and we can get in touch!
