If you receive a message that the bus is sold out, that means we hit our maximum capacity for our bus. It doesn’t mean, however, that you are out of luck. Simply contact us, and we will put you on the waiting list. If we get enough people on the waiting list, we may reserve another bus to transport you and your party to the game.
