Greetings!
War Eagle!! Before the July 4th Holiday weekend, we wanted to let everyone know that the online link to prepay for our July 16 Kickoff Event is now Live and ready to go. Link is below. Our treasurer keeps a detailed list for check-in but go ahead and print a copy of your receipt, too -- it will speed up the line at the door that night.
Also, we got a phone call from the Braves yesterday. According to our sales rep, the Auburn Family is giving his fax machine a real workout! In only one week, more than 150 tickets have already been sold!! This is absolutely AUsome!!! We have let all the other Auburn clubs know about this too -- so we are expecting to have a BIG crowd of Tigers for this event (call it a warm-up for the start of the football season!). If you missed last week's announcement - we've included it again below.
Thanks everyone....and, as always....
War Eagle!

Atlanta Auburn Club Braves Outing Set for Saturday, August 1
AUsome $6 Deal for Advance Ticket Sales Won't Last Long
UPDATE: MORE THAN 150 TICKETS SOLD IN ONE WEEK!!
How many Auburn Tigers can we fit into Turner Field? The Atlanta Auburn Club is headed to "the Ted" on Saturday, August 1 for Braves -vs- Dodgers - Game time: 4:10 p.m. And we have an AUsome deal (we're even hoping some other AU clubs and Tigers from Auburn will join us!)
For a limited time, you can get special Club Pavilion seats -behind the first base line- for an AUsome Auburn Advance Ticket Purchase price of only $6/each! These seats normally sell for $32. The Braves have reserved a large block of seats for us - but at this price they will sell out! So act now...
Once that block is gone, the Braves have also arranged a block of Upper Level seats (right above our other group) for only $8 each. And if you prefer lower level Field Pavilion - we've got that option too!
We're looking at this as a warm-up for an anticipated official "Auburn Day" at Turner Field in 2010!
Download a pdf order form in the Events section of the Atlanta Auburn Club website by clicking here
Fill it out - and Fax or Email to our Braves Sales Rep Justin Johnson (information is on the order form).
*Make sure you indicate your second option seating choice in case the Club Pavilion sells out.
