BMORE Around Town

Has anyone used them for Ravens away games?  I just discovered I will be in Miami when the Ravens play on December 7th.  They have good packages and prices but wanted feedback of the experience from anyone who has used them in the past.  Thank you!

I went to Atlanta with Ravenstrips.com and it was the best package deal ever, they only thing wrong was we had to fly to Atlanta from BWI, check in our hotel, get our game tickets and go to the game in the same day.  They usually have a get together which was after instead of before the game.  The worst one was Ravenettetrips.com to Jacksonville, they moved our hotel a wekk before from being next to Jacksonville Land to across the river, had to take water taxi to and from the game which I had to wait about an hour and a half on the way back.

@Nightman thank you for the feedback.  I came across Ravenstrips.com last night and had inquired about their package.  The problem I'm finding is that I do not need the airfare or the hotel.  I basically want tickets, transportation and the tailgate and most do not want to just sell you that portion of the package.  It's far less expensive to just buy lower level tickets resale however I would not be sitting with a group of fellow Ravens fans.  But I'm not sure I can justify paying double or triple to be in the group. Again, thank you for the feedback, it's very helpful.

I know you may not want to do this, it would make me crazy, BUT wait closer to the event and they may wish to get rid of unsold tickets and take you up on what you need.

I used RavensTrips.com for San Fran a few years ago and was able to get just the "ground" package through them. Pick up the phone and give them a call. Miami is a popular package, though, so they might have no incentive to offer just part of the deal.

I know exactly what you mean!  I'm patiently waiting to get preseason tickets here in Dallas also!  But that's definitely a great idea.  Thank you!

Thank you.  I tried that but was told I at least needed to do the hotel in addition to the game ticket, transportation and tailgate.  The issue I'm running into is that I will be arriving into Miami the morning of December 7th by cruise ship.  I'm trying to decide if I will have enough time to debark and get to the hotel by the time the bus leaves for the stadium.  One trip's bus leaves at 8:30 am, the other at 10 am (but out of Ft. Lauderdale).  So it seems to me like the best option is to buy resale tickets and take a taxi or Uber to the stadium once we have gotten off the ship and dropped our bags at the hotel.  Then we can more or less do our own timeline and not be stressed out over things we can't control (like weather delaying our arrival into Miami, customs delays, etc.).  I would have loved to be with a group of Ravens fans though.  Living out of state, I do not have much opportunity to interact with other Ravens fans much.  And I am always up for tailgating, just seems like I'm trying to make a square peg fit into a round hole with this.  *sigh*

With Ravenette Trips, you had to book the airline tickets yourself, they weren't included in the deal.  Living in the DC suburbs of Rockville, I could choose, between BWI-Marshall, Reagan National and Washington Dulles so I could choose the best deal of the three which was on Delta at Reagan which I could ride the Metro to and from in a small plane to Jacksonville, the shuttle cost $25 plus tip to the hotel both ways.  The only time I used BMore Around Town was for a tailgate at the Jericho cash lot just outside FedEx Field property which was mostly Ravens fans on the bus from Baltimore with a couple of Washington fans.  They had a DH named Buddah spinning the tunes, it was cheaper than the all you could eat barbecue at the stadium with mostly Redskin fans.
