My wife has wanted to go for years. If I can swing the money, I'm considering it.
Anyone else?
If you all hear of any "package deals" let us know!

$250/person sounds like a great deal. Though, you'd likely need another $1000 for a couple to actually enjoy themselves and take advantage of the tourism aspect of the trip.

That's just the deposit, it's thousands more once you get into the details.

Looked at it earlier... it's expected to be upwards of 4 grand per person.

Gotta move further along in the process and you'll find out that the $250 is just a deposit, which is refundable. You won't actually find out what the package prices are until the different packages are announced.
Quote:Hold your spot today with a refundable $250 deposit per person until package offerings are finalized upon the release of the 2019 NFL schedule. You will be contacted once package offerings are finalized with the ability to select your preferred package or cancel your order and receive refund for deposit paid.

With the current political state of affairs in London now it could errupt into padamonium, chaos and rioting at any time OR they could figure out some kind of solution to avoid it all. Personally I'm not quite ready to take that kind of chance just to go watch an American football game in a city I may or may not be welcome...
An old Taxi dispatcher i knew was born in the US and raised in East London. His accounts of things about how Americans were treated at the time didn't seem all that welcoming..Potatoes filled with razor blades flying around doesn't sound like my idea of a good time.. The Brits take their rioting pretty serious over there from what I can tell..But then again who doesn't take rioting seriously?

Thanks for that..
Here's more details.
Estimated Pricing on Double Occupancy

- Pricing is an estimate and is subject to change depending on the finalized dates of the NFL schedule announcement.
- The $250 per person deposit is fully refundable until you confirm your package after the NFL schedule announcement. You will have 10 business days to confirm your package option to be fully guaranteed a spot on the experience. After 10 business days, spots will be subject to availability.
- PRIMESPORT will contact you via email once the schedule announcement is made with package options and pricing. You may call our customer support center to either reserve your full package or cancel your deposit for a full refund. Once your full package is reserved, your deposit will become nonrefundable and final payment will be due 75 days prior to the event.
