While he was born and raised in Mississippi, San Francisco has been his adopted home for over 20 years. And it is here where the Rice legend will take shape, told by Jerry himself, and surrounded by those who have known him since it all began. It will be an amazing Homecoming.

[N1nerz4Life_510]

[San Fran]

If so, mine is available as I'm a season ticket holder from Nova Scotia, Canada. PM me if you're interested, I would hate for it to go to waste.

Peace!

[49erFred]

If anyone got one and not attending please email me at majestyr@hotmail.com
I will send you paid stamp with envelope or meet in the bay area.


thank you

[RaiderHater]

I'm debating on whether to go or not... I should decide soon..

[49ersCatch]

If anyone has a ticket to this and doesn't want to go I would love to. Jerry Rice is hands down my favorite player and this would be very awesome. Or if I could be someone's and 1.

Please PM me if you can help! Thanks

It is an email that is sent out and you have to enter your STH Acct # and then you have to put the names of the people are going (2).

[49ermike]

Just got an email allowing me to register again do to high demand for this event. I didn't register the 1st time around as I knew I would not go. Then others wanted it and I tried but they were not longer allowing registrations.

I printed my copy and would like to give it to someone. The only problem I have is it has my season ticket account number and personal info also. Not sure it's a good idea to give that info out especially to a stranger. Plus I wonder if they check the ID of the person to see if it matches the form??:telephone:


Just got the conformation email and it says.............

Upon arrival, all guests are to check in under the name given when you registered. Guess that answers that question. Can't give it to someone else.

[San Fran]

49erMike - thanks for figuring that out...I was hoping to be able to pass along my invite, but without me being there.

I guess that would have been too easy :)

[Niner Jan]

Anyone interested in going, PM me right away. I have 2 openings for guests on my 2 tickets that I received. I would hate for the tickets to go to waste.

Tomorrow is Wednesday; the event is on the following night. So, there's no time to let grass grow under our feet.

Instructions directly from the 49ers are: "Dress your BEST, because there's a great possibility you'll be on camera. Do NOT wear a white shirt (does not photograph well in a taping) or a shirt with a logo." (The show will be taped starting at 7 pm.) I didn't understand WHY no logo shirts (you'd think fans watching a JR show would WANT to show their pride!) But I didn't set the recommendations; they came from the TOP.

THIS IS THE DAY! Fred49er, I hope to see you at the appointed place by the stroke of 6 TONIGHT to get your ticket to let you into Great America's JERRY RICE TRIBUTE.
