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 Duke’s Mayo Bowl, and SerVacations has done all the legwork arranging a potential trip so that you don’t have to! Fly or drive to Charlotte 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. Because our reserved ticket block is going fast, you will need to commit to the trip by tomorrow Monday, December 8th at 11:59PM. If we achieve the minimum participation of 20 people, you will be auto-billed on Wednesday. If we do not, you will be notified on Tuesday morning by text and phone so that you can make other plans. All guests driving themselves or flying should plan on arriving at the hotel by 3pm on Wednesday, December 31st so that they can settle into the hotel and be ready to depart for the New Year’s Eve Party! The $119/night discounted hotel block link will be in your confirmation email right when you book this trip. You can make your reservation immediately. If the tour does 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.
