Description
Georgia Tech has had an amazing season under the leadership of Coach Brent Key & ACC Player of the Year QB Haynes King! They have earned a spot in the Gator Bowl against Missouri, and SerVacations has done all the legwork arranging a potential trip so that you don’t have to! Fly or drive to Jacksonville and we take care of the rest with discounted room block, deluxe transportation, sightseeing, meals, parties, and sideline club-level tickets w/access to a climate controlled lounge in case it’s chilly. Big games are so much more fun when you party with superfans like yourself who love Georgia Tech football. You may have been to the Gator Bowl before but not like this!
Because our reserved ticket block is going fast, you will need to commit to the trip by Thursday, December 11th at 11:59PM or as supplies last. If we achieve the minimum participation of 20 people before Thursday, you will be notified immediately and auto-billed on Saturday. If we do not, you will be notified on Friday morning by text and phone so that you can decide whether you would simply like tickets in our block at their discounted rate or to make other plans. The $129/night discounted hotel block link will be in your confirmation email right when you book this trip. You can make your hotel reservation immediately and are encouraged to do so. If the tour does not achieve minimum participation, you may still keep your discounted hotel room for your own use or choose to cancel it up until 48hrs before checkin. (So even if the tour does not proceed, you still have the option to keep your hotel and game tickets!)
All guests driving themselves or flying should plan on arriving at the hotel by 3pm on Friday, December 26th so that they can settle into the hotel and be ready to depart for the Pep Rally & Welcome Dinner at 4:15pm.
Discover the ultimate location for your Jacksonville adventure at the Hyatt Place in St. John’s Town Center. Blending sophistication and charm, this upscale hotel perfectly positions you between the excitement of the stadium and the serenity of the beaches where your pep rally takes place.
Nestled in the heart of a premier shopping district, St. John’s Town Center offers a haven for luxury enthusiasts, featuring elite retailers such as Omega, Tiffany’s, and Nordstrom, making it a shopper's paradise. Fun fact - the site contractor of this magnificent development is a proud Georgia Tech alum!

Each of the spacious rooms offers a picturesque view of a breathtaking lake and a resort-style pool, creating a serene oasis in this bustling suburb. Indulge in making this your home base at an unbeatable discounted rate of $129 per night.
