ESPN Priority Seating for special games?

[Luv2trav]

GO BUCKS! AND O-H I would definitely do it and I hope you have to make the decision.

I-O Me too.. BTW it's college not collage...LOL.. Duh for me.

Yeah, as soon as the games are set I'd call and see what they say. I'm not even going to venture to guess what they'll decide being NYE and Playoffs.

I imagine it will be a pretty penny but DH and I can eat/drink our monies worth. I will definitely call that day once it's announced. If we lose another game in the next 2 weeks it doesn't matter anyway..LOL

We are going to be there also for NYE and we are OSU fans. They just released the Bowl games and OSU has made the playoffs for 7:00 p.m. on NYE. I have been trying to make a reservation for ESPN but the calendar does not let you reserve anything on that day or for that matter any Saturday or Sunday in December. Does anyone know anything in regards to this? Thanks so much

Correct. You can not book any ADR at ESPN Club other than weekday lunch. They won't do ADR for NYE at night. You can call and inquire about a possible Priority seating for that night but I would be surprised if they offer it. Can't hurt to ask though

Thank you for the information. We have an ADR at Cape May that evening and might go over afterwards to see if we can get in for a drink and see if we can watch part of the game.

1) The price is not a set price per person.
2) The $75 fee is a set MINIMUM per price person fee - if not spent, you are charged the $75 fee.
3) Obviously they hope you will spend more.
4) And, yes, they are trying to eliminate it, since non-Priority Seats spend more.
5) Too many people get the priority seats and watch very closely the amount they spend.
6) And, those who just grab a seat tend to drink more and spend more as they get "lubed up".

We've never been here. It's our 5th trip, first during the holidays.

Do they have multi tvs to show different sporting events? We are Canadian and my 10 year old is begging me to find a place to watch the hockey winter classic New Year's Day.

Sadly, my Badgers are playing on the day that we leave so no ESPN Priority Seating for me .

Yes, there are hundreds of TVs, even in the bathrooms.
They do play a variety of events but some TVs are repeats.
I'd guess that 1 would have the Winter Classic somewhere.

1) Yes.
2) But, there is no guarantee that the game YOU want to watch will be shown close to your table.
. . . it could shown in the other room
. . . it could be shown behind you
. . . it could shown far to your left or right
. . . it could shown directly in front of you
3) You are paying for the table and to be seated at a given time, not for the game.
4) In fact, the game shown nearest to your table could be a repeat of a previous game/sport.
