Tickets that are regularly $80 are now being offered to faculty and staff for $40. Tickets are for seating in the Georgia Dome's upper level. Kickoff is 8 p.m.

This season has brought many "firsts" for Duke's football team, including winning 10 games in a single season, winning the ACC Coastal Division title, appearing in the ACC Championship and many more. Employees cheering on Duke football and making the trip to Atlanta will easily spot fellow fans like John Caccavale, Working@Duke’s honorary employee captain to the football team.

"By 10 p.m. on the Sunday of the bowl game announcement, I had the hotel booked and planning to bring a slew of people together," said Caccavale, executive director of the university's Financial Economics Center. "I've got people coming from the UK, Chicago, New York - we are pumped and ready to go."

At the game, the Duke Alumni Association will host a special pregame party starting at 5:30 p.m. in the Thomas Murphy Ballroom at the Georgia World Congress Center. Tickets are $30 for children 3 to 12 and $60 for 13 years old and up. Children under 3 can enter for free. Each ticket will allow for access to a buffet with pizza, roasted meat, macaroni and cheese and a variety of sides, deserts and drinks. The event will have a cash bar with beer and wine. Tickets can be purchased online.

Fans in need of accommodations in Atlanta can get help from Anthony Travel, Duke Athletics' preferred vendor for the game. Information can be found online or by calling (888) 632-6951.
