49ers, Accelar and El Camino Trailways want to get you to the game

PrintI have to say this a bit of fortuitous timing. We recently had a FanPost about parking at Candlestick Park, and I believe we've had some other FanPosts and FanShots about getting to the game. Candlestick can be a pain in the butt to get to, but for folks in the South Bay, East Bay and up near Sacramento, a new option is being made available to you.
First off, for folks in San Francisco who don't want to drive to games, don't forget that you can take a variety of Muni options to the park.
For those of you a bit further out, there's a new website called 49ers Shuttle. The 49ers shot out a press release about it today and I thought it would be useful information for a lot of folks who want to go to games, but don't have easy access to Candlestick. The 49ers are partnering with Accelar and El Camino Trailways to encourage folks to make alternative transportation arrangements and get some cars off the road. Additionally, they're offering some intriguing packages that go beyond just getting to and from the game.
When you go to the site, if you scroll down just a bit you'll see the various packages available. There are two drop down menus and then buttons saying "Buy Now" and "More Info." If you want the more info option you do have to select a particular game you're looking at. The "More Info" then provides prices and a breakdown of what you get with the package. You can go for something as simple as the basic express shuttle service starting at $18, all the way up to the "Ultimate Package," which starts at $195. The Ultimate Package includes end zone tickets, an all-you-can eat-and-drink buffet and a chance to meet past 49er greats.
If I'm reading the site correctly, the Shuttle options will be picking up north in Sacramento and Davis. It will pick up from the South Bay in San Jose, Palo Alto, Milpitas and Santa Clara. It will pick up from the East Bay in West Oakland and Walnut Creek. Finally, it will pick up closer to Candlestick in Burlingame and San Carlos.

good news!
For the 11/8 Titans game, with 14 day advanced purchase, you can take Greyhound for $282 roundtrip to San Francisco from Sioux Falls! It’s almost exactly 2 days to get to SF if you leave on Thursday the 5th and then 1 day, 18 hours to get back leaving Monday the 9th. Good times!

Hey Fooch
I what happened to the whole niners nation going to a game thing?
I’d be interested in going next season but I live in So Cal, so I would need a lot of help so I don’t get lost or something.

game
I’ve been crazy busy and it’s gotten in the way of planning a trip to a game. I might try and find somebody here who would be willing to take the lead on this (either for later this season or next season).

i might be mistaken
But is it true the only games you have been to are this year? if so, thats a huge jump (going from never attending to season tickets)
Yep, my first time at the 'Stick was this preseason.
We had talked about picking a game to go to this season, then I got a call from a 49ers rep (assuming they got my number when I attended the 49ers draft party) and the price was just good. Ended up buying three of them and I don’t think I’m going to miss a year now.
I'd be interested if it were for next season

awesome fooch. Thanks for checking that for me. I really appreciate it. haha
Now if only I didn’t just get married and not have any money to spend let alone 282 bucks just for travel….haha. I think I just need to wait until they come back to MN again, maybe the playoffs???!!!
So how much from say Minot or Bismarck North Dakota?
Heck I retire from the Air Force next year, one of my goals is to make a game after at the Stick when retire. I have gone to a few baseball games as a kid, but my parents never took me to a 49ers game. I would definately be wanting to make any game that NinersNation sets up for next year, even if it was a pre-season game. I have to travel from where ever I end up retiring at. Heck the only Niners game I have been to was Nov 30, 2003 in Baltimore.
11-5... My 49ers pre-season prediction!
My dad worked in Sioux Falls for awhile
lived just south of there in Viborg.
I was gonna ask the same thing about service from Idaho Falls, Idaho—I suspect my trip will be easier than yours.
There's a Central Valley Party Bus
That leaves from Fresno for home games. About 150$ get’s you a ticket,a bus ride, unlimited drinking, bbq tailgate, some kind of dj thing….
A good deal for folks in central Cali, or SoCal people who don’t feel like driving all the way up…
Hey that's pretty cool
