Bus Seats to smu NOT AVAILABLE for NT alums ??

cogido · August 20, 2015

I called the UNT Ticket Office and I was told that bus seats to the smu game were not available for alums ! Is that correct ? Are we left out ?

It is probably best to give the students priority for the bus seats as their transportation options are likely more limited than those of the alums. Does the DART rail go from Denton to Mockingbird? I know I took it from Frisco to Mockingbird in '07.

As it should be. Get the students fired up with a unique first game experience at a price everyone can afford.

Alums depart from East Side...Fill Those Busses!

Is John selling tickets for this game individually?

I'm just trying to figure out the best option to buy tickets to be around other passionate UNT fans and ride the East Side bus over.

Why not drive to the nearest DART station and take the train to Mockingbird Station?

If enough of us take the train it will make for a good atmosphere. I'm with 23, let us alums use the train option. With all of the construction going on the highways we should try to familiarize ourselves with this and get others to do the same.

East Side will be selling a package for bus, Smu ticket and beer for tailgating for only $40 August 14th. Buses depart at East Side at 2:30 and game starts at 6pm and depart directly after game and plan on being back at 10-10:30. We have 4 buses that hold 56 people and they will fill up.
If you have a ticket already, Bus and tailgate beer will be $25. Please bring CASH.
We have about 40 packages left for the East Oak Alumni Section. $100 and that gets you 5 home game tickets, shuttle to and from, SMU ticket, bus shuttle to SMU game, an awesome UNT t shirt and beer after each game.
GO MEAN GREEN!

You want to meet up at the Parker Road station? It is on the Red Line, and that takes you straight to the Mockingbird station we need to be dropped off at?

My 12 (so far) are taking the bus from Eastside...I was afraid us country folks would never get that train hook-up right! Plus, we like beer!!! LOL

Yes. I bought one last weekend.

Seems he's selling in any combination you want. Ticket only? OK. Ticket and bus? OK. Bus only? OK. Season tickets plus SMU? OK.

I think we may have a front-runner for 2016's Ulys Knight Spirit Award.

@GMG24 I think @UNT 90 Grad is arranging a bit of a pre-game hang at the Downtown Plano Station somewhere and then take the train from there. Only a few miles south of the Parker Station.

It is indeed possible to get from UNT to SMU this way without ever stepping foot in a car - for just $10.

ChristopherRyanWilkes · August 20, 2015

Training it from Fort Worth. TRE to downtown then hop on any train to Mockingbird Station. Easy peasy.

UNTcrazy727 · August 20, 2015

Ubering to and from the game.

Cr1028 · August 20, 2015

I'll riding the rail to Mockingbird from somewhere north on 75, not sure the station yet. I'm hoping to find a Mean Green tailgate to stop by when I get to SMU that isn't $20-30 per person.

emmitt01 · August 20, 2015

Taking the train to Mockingbird early and watching games at Twin Peaks until right before the game.

This is true. There are several cool bars and whatnot by the downtown Plano station. There isn't really anything by the Parker Road station, unless you want to hang out in the 7-Eleven parking lot. Regarding downtown Plano, I'm organizing something at Vickery Park. I organized a UNT football watching party there last year. Good beers and food. They have a popular brunch on Saturdays. TVs to catch some of the early games. The train station is right around the corner.

I haven't landed on a meet up time yet. The manager is supposed to call me tonight.
