The UAA has given us the opportunity to purchase up to 300 tickets at face value (approximately $40 apiece). I have only received requests for about 150 tickets thus far. This figure is far less than the number of RSVPs that we have gotten over the last several months, so if you have not done so please e-mail me at oxreunion@gmail.com with yourname and the number of tickets you need.
The OX Alumni Realty Board will convene on a conference call today to discuss how many tickets we should purchase in advance of the November 15th reunion. This is a significant capital expenditure for the Chapter and we will not procure the 300 tickets(for $12,000) unless sufficient interest has been expressed by our Alumni.
If you were not planning on attending the reunion because you did not have tickets to the game, that no longer seems to be an issue. Please e-mail me at oxreunion@gmail.com immediately and book your hotel at:
Paramount Plaza Hotel and Suites:877-992 - 9229 ($205 per night, no minimum stay)
La Quinta:352 -332-6466 ($169 per night, two-night minimum stay)
The opportunity for a guaranteed ticket at face value for the last SEC home game (against the Old Ball Coach, no less) is rare. If you have not been back to a game in awhile, this is the weekend to go. I would hate for our alumni to miss out on this great opportunity to reunite with brothers and see a home game at the Swamp. Please send in your ticket requests now.
Fraternally,
George Kramer T'1749
