Get Me Downtown - Your Direct Route to Detroit Nightlife from Ann Arbor
 
How It Works
We organize a bus, from downtown Ann Arbor to and from Detroit, to coincide with something hip and happening in the city. Its up to you to participate in the festivities of the evening, or you are welcome to bum around on your own. Just make sure you are back for the bus’ predetermined departure location and time. Check out our next trip at right, we can’t wait to see you there!
Pricing
The actual cost of the bus is ~$16 per person. We think this is a reasonable amount to pay for round trip transportation to Detroit from Ann Arbor. However, we also think there may be ways to promote our excursions and mitigate that actual cost. This will be dependent on the success of our first few trips.

PLEASE NOTE you are responsible for obtaining your own Detroit Derby Girl Ticket through Ticketmaster or at Orbitz Hair Salon in Ann Arbor. Click HERE for more info on other DDG ticket outlets and ticketmaster details. DDG tickets for the May 10th Championship double header are $20. THIS EVENT WILL SELL OUT, get your tickets NOW. Luckily, if you pay for your spot on the bus, but miss getting a DDG ticket, you will still have the opportunity to check out some of Detroit’s coolest bars on Woodward!
Referral Bonus
The person who refers the most people will receive $50 to use on their dinner / evening expenses!
Payment Rules & Options
Your spot on the bus will not be guaranteed until after payment has been received. The easiest method of payment will be to send $16 via PayPal... simply use the button above. You can also call 734.929.9066 and either leave your credit card information in a voicemail or leave a good time for you to be reached.
