Any other Planeteers planning on going to the Exibition game versus Detroit? It's a Saturday night. STH's (that choose that option on renewal) should have recieved the following exerpt in an email today:



You are invited to watch the Bobcats and Pistons square off in a preseason game at the Colonial Life Arena on October 16! You and one guest will ride on a charter bus to Columbia, SC, enjoy dinner, hear from Bobcats executives and sit in the lower level for the game. Being a Season Ticket Holder has its privileges, and a road trip to see the Bobcats play in Columbia is one of them.

Swedd, the world works against me sometimes. I have to be in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida that week through Saturday night for a work conference. Otherwise, would be there rockin my Make Love to Pressure shirt. I hate that I have to miss it.

I'm thinking about it. With my budget, I hate paying for exhibition games when we live so close to Charlotte and cat watch the real thing. I still might, though!

Just this week I was talking to some other grown people about how we seemed like had money to do anything when we were broke and students, and now that we make a LOT more money, we always feel like we're broke.

There wasn't a generic preseason thread (least I didn't see one), so I'm bumping this one to ask if anyone is going to the Fayetteville game Wednesday night?

I'm thinking about it...it'll be about an hour, 15 minutes one way which is a little far to drive (if I'm traveling I'd rather hike the 3 hours and see a "real" game), but hey...it's the Bobcats.

This is my main concern, although there are some really great (gold circle) seats still available. And it's only an hour and a half away. Decisions, decisions.

Has anybody found any cheap seats for the Cola game? I've been looking around and only found some for $150, which is definitely a no. I'd imagine there'd be some cheap ones?

On the official site you can get nearly-courtside seats for $43 each:

My wifes says there is a Groupon 1/2 off deal for the game in Columbia on Saturday. I vaguely know about Groupon, but I have no idea whether you need to do anything special to access it.
Also, for those who are in town and more bold than me, I hear Jax is hosting a party Friday night at a nightclub on North Main Street. Sorry, but I don't know the name of the club. I am too old and married for that scene.

Here's the direct link. 2 tickets for $25. Groupon is pretty legit, so this is a good deal for people in the area:

I tried signing up for the other two seats, and after I clicked buy tickets, it said the two tickets will be 50 dollars and not 25 like the sign up page said.

Still doesn't work. It's still saying two tickets will cost $50.

Barring some random issue, I'll be in Columbia.

Accidentally bought another ticket. Wil sell below the $25 posted value. Who wants it? Apparently it's a LL corner section seat.

I'm not married, but am too old for that scene as well. I'm also not bold enough for such a thing, I believe. Though I'm sure I'd be entertained for at least a little while.
I will be there for the game on whatever bus the 'Cats tell me to get on.

Wife just surprised me with tickets. Anyone want to try and meet up before hand, holla. Wouldn't maybe trying to get some food before hand, but we'd have to eat fairly early.

I just sold those other two tickets to my roommates, gonna make some money actually :D


I'd be down to get together with whoever else is coming and grab a bite or something beforehand. Might not be able to if I have to give a ride to my roommates but I'll see. Who all is coming? Me +1, dnb +1, anyone else?
