It's been a few years since I have taken a bus trip, but I might do one or two this season. Bradley does not provide beer or snacks on the busses, but people are free to bring their own, and many do. Some bring pillows, iPods, and other entertainment for the longer trips. Sometimes the host will run tip boards (anyone who has been to the Itoo Hall event know what I am referring to) during the trip and give away some nice prizes.
Both Butler and Northern Iowa are about 4 hours each way.
That must be four hours by bus, for those of us driving don't plan on being in the car that long, at least not to Butler...
Also is it possible to get tix with the people on the bus without taking the bus?
