 Thanks to ALL the Auburn Tigers who made reservations this week for our Clemson bus trip on September 17th! We still have some seats available -- so get them while you can! Satellite TV has been ordered for ALL of our bus trips this year. And, as in years past, riders can bring personal-sized coolers aboard the bus (larger coolers must be stowed below). So why worry about driving when you can start your tailgating earlier and ride with us to the game?!! Right now, we are looking at a 7am ET departure from the Sandy Springs MARTA station on September 17 for the Clemson game, with a possible second pickup at the Indian Trail Park & Ride on I-85 (just north of Jimmy Carter Blvd), if necessary. REGISTER NOW!! Sept. 17: Auburn at Clemson (one bus only) -- Kickoff 12pm ET, $35/per person.

Atlanta Auburn Club Bus policy for the 2011 season: Seat reservations are confirmed only through pre-payment via credit card links posted by the Atlanta Auburn Club. The Atlanta Auburn Club has no control over TV kickoff times, and to secure buses we must reserve them early. Pre-paid fares for game day trips are non-refundable, but can be transferred (with notice to club) to another Auburn Tiger or someone on the club waiting list (if applicable). Bus departure times and locations will be announced prior to game day travel. If there are not enough riders for a particular bus trip, the club will refund prepaid funds to riders for said trip. |
