[MorpheusDreamweaver]

If anybody's gone to this event in previous years, how easy is it to get autographs, and is the $50 dinner ticket worth it?

 

[jetpig00]

Ive Gone to this event the past two years, Ive never actually bought a ticket to go in. I just stayed in the parking lot(they really dont like that ,but my dads freind who i always go with makes freinds with the cop supervising.But from what i heard inside is very easy to get all the players and coaches, And will sign for a while. But thats just what Ive heard since Ive never actually went in. I think this year I might get a Ticket so I can garuntee myself a Delgado or 2

 

[Captian23]

I will be there, anyone else?

 

[jetpig00]

Most Likely going.... Might have a ticket, might not.......are you getting a ticket? or just hanging in the parking lot

 

[Captian23]

Doing the Ticket. They still have some available. They are letting me pay at the door. They said there is no Autograph Session but the guests should be signing inside after the event. I figure it would be pretty cool plus it should be a little easier on the inside. I am going for the Rutgers players and Delgado.
