The view from Taino Beach. (Via TripAdvisor)If you happen to be in possession of tickets to Sunday’s NFC Divisional playoff game between the ‘Skins and the Seattle Seahawks, well, then lucky you. It’s probably the hottest ticket of the year, and even standing room only tickets in the nosebleeds start at $88 on StubHub.
So, maybe you’re really jazzed for the ‘Skins first home playoff game in 13 years, but a local travel agent is hoping that you can be persuaded to part with a pair of tickets in exchange for a weeklong trip to the Bahamas.
Ezinwanne Hawkins took to Craigslist yesterday offering a seven-night stay at a Bahamian resort if she can have your tickets to Sunday’s game:
I’m a huge Skins fan, and I also own a travel agency. I’m willing to trade/barter a 7-night stay at a resort in the Bahamas for 2 Tickets to the Skins/Seahawks game on Sunday. Even trade, travel dates are open anytime in 2013, based on availability.
Serious inquiries only. Please contact me with ticket details and for additional information. #HTTR
In an email, Hawkins elaborates that while she is not including airfare in the deal, she is offering stays at beachside resorts on Grand Bahama Island, most likely between March and September, when the waters of the Caribbean Sea will be heating up. As for what constitutes a “serious offer,” she adds that considering the value of the hotel stay would be between $700 and $900, she’s expecting something on the lower level close to the 50-yard line.
Hawkins mentioned the Taino Beach Resort and Club as a possible destination if someone is willing to part with their highly prized tickets to FedEx Field on Sunday. The resort, according to reviews on TripAdvisor, is a mixed bag, with some guests praising its “Marlin” section (which Hawkins is offering), but resenting their stays in the “Ocean” and “Coral” sections. Still, the resort does offer some nice amenities, like a 20,000-square-foot swimming pool complete with a water slide and lazy river, swim-up bars, hammocks and ping-pong tables. All of which is way better than watching the ‘Skins play their first home playoff game in over a decade, right?
