Tickets go on sale tomorrow. First 150 tickets are $75 and the remaining will be $85. This price includes food (bar food like chicken tenders, chips/dip, etc..), DJ, a band (name is unknown to me at this time), champagne, some laser light show thing, and multiple open bars. It's being held at the Prime F. Osborne Grand Lobby (very close to the landing).<div>

</div><div>I repeat.....this includes alcohol......and blackouts</div><div>
</div><div>
</div><div>ETA: This was all sent to me by a friend who's helping with it, so until tickets are officially on sale, this info could change.</div>

from what I understand there will be open bars with everything and also beer only bars, I assume to help facilitate the crowd a bit. So you name it, liquor, beer, wine, whatever. I'll have whiskey in each hand all night.

When "open bars" go down, its usually well liquor and beer. I was just curious if I wouldn't have to drink Aristocrat vodka all night and/or have the option to get free Rumplemintz shots.

Im pretty sure its well liquor and beer. Not sure about wine, but who cares. I did hear that shots are going to be extra. Im sure its gonna be ****** alcohol. I just hope its middle level and not aristocrat, etc. I think when he says champagne, he means 1 free glass at midnight. Still going to be a fun party and a good deal.

that the party organizers (yourself) grossly underestimate the drinking habits of those attending and run out of booze early?

New Website is up with a good promo video.......Tickets go on sale at Noon central time, first hundred get a discount of 10 dollars.....This website looks legit which makes me think the party will be as well. I bet they have thought about running out of booze and that it is not an option. They do not underestimate the amount of booze college football fans in the south can consume. They party just as much as we do.

scared we'll take your woman? If I had to guess I'd say late 20s to mid 30s will be the most prevalent. College kids probably won't want to fork out the 75 and the old geezers probably won't be attracted by the "open bar" and well drinks.

just a guess though.

I'd say a pretty young crowd. Current students to mid thirties. That's really just a guess though. The guys putting it on are mid twenties so I imagine it will be geared towards a younger crowd.

I know of a group of other students going so I would think lower to mid 20's to 30's. We aren't going to this though, my group of about 10 are staying on Jax Beach so we are going to hit up the nightlife on the beach. <div>

Hope yall got the discount from twitter.

There is plenty of room and event planners have been hired from Jacksonville to assure that everything goes off without a hitch..

Once we have an estimate on tickets the limit will be set and all plans will be finalized from there.

Age group is going to be pretty far ranging.... which I think is awesome. I've heard anywhere from 50 year old couples down to Juniors in college.

There are a large number of college students purchasing tickets. As of right now I would say more than half are in their young 20's

I have spoken to about 20 or so friends from college, and they are all attending... but according to Twitter and Facebook, alot of young people will be in attendance. ALOT.
