Got tickets? Need tickets? Hotel room?
We try to help fellow members of our local Penn State Alumni Association either obtain or sell/transfer tickets to games and hotel rooms in and around State College.

Simple rules apply, with the primary being NO SCALPING!! This is a service that a few of us like to take on just to help out. Tickets are to be offered at face value or less.

For the “away” games, some of us will take road trips to catch another college campus and see another city for a weekend outing. Occasionally we have tickets and/or hotel rooms that are available, again through our own membership and those close friends/associates from other alumni chapters. Same rules apply, if we’re going to help with any exchange the selling price must be the purchase price or less. 

Questions? More info? Call or email: John McKee (H) 398-1228, (W) 926-9000, cell 432-6220, email at jmckee@marina-realty.com

TV Parties- Text of recent Chapter email:
Hi Penn State SJS Chapter members, area alumni and friends: 

We’re in the midst of planning a couple of “TV Tailgate Parties” for this Fall, so both current alumni association members, their friends and some new or prospective members, could meet to watch a Penn State game on tv, and enjoy either a bar, a restaurant or a private home.
In years past we’ve had gatherings at various establishments such as Markers, Hard Shell Café, Cheers, Bubba Mac’s, Somers Inn, Charlie's, Yesterday’s, and The Varsity Inn. We’ve also met in different members’ homes. All have their own particular plusses and minuses, so we’d like to hear what you think!  

Would you prefer to meet for a TV Tailgate Party at a private home, or at a restaurant or bar, to meet others and enjoy a Penn State game? Would you go if it were a night game at 7 or 8 pm? Would you attend if it were a 3:30 or 4PM game?   

Let us know on your choices to the above questions and if you have a suggestion for a place to meet for a game, or if your home is large enough for a group that could be as large as 30 or so! 

Generally the requirements for these “TV Party” gatherings are to have a cash bar if at a restaurant or bar, (not an all inclusive cost per person for food and beverage). All other locations, (byo restaurants, homes, etc) would be to “bring your own” adult beverages (beer,wine,etc), both for expense and liability issues.”

As of now, the game dates for consideration include:
Sept 11th - 7 pm vs Alabama; Oct 2nd - 8 pm vs Iowa; Nov 13th (Time - TBD) vs Ohio State

Please email reply to  PennStateSJShore@Yahoo.com
