Pumped for my first pilgrimage to Lynah East

LGR!

well,

looks like i made a mistake and somehow ordered 2 sets of 6. I also ordered section 9, row D, 6 seats. I emailed them to try and cancel it and will call in tomorrow...but if anyone wants these tickets instead of me trying to explain how the hell I ordered 2 sets of 6 on accident, let me know and I will just sell them to you for 6x$15.


EDIT: which section is the cornell band expected to be in? I guess now I have seats in 20 and 9, so I'll take whichever is the more Cornell-friendly area and either try to cancel the rest of sell them to lynah faithful who are actually studying instead of wasting time online

I am also planning my first pilgrimage to Lynah East. Really glad that I get to do it before I graduate. I want some advice before I buy the tickets. I see people saying that we can easily change places, and that's good. However, I might as well buy tickets in the right spot straight off. Is there a specific section (probably sections) where Cornell fans usually sit? Where does our band sit? Which way are we attacking 1st and 3rd?

Harvard Sucks!

i would suggest you just purchase tickets and worry about that later. it seems they only have sets of 2 available now....no sets of 3-6 next to each other. maybe they will have more when the ticket office opens in the morning...who knows.

EDIT: from what I saw last year, we pretty much take up most of the general admission seats + the designated cornell section. i cant remember off the top of my head where that is though....but i think its safe to say any seats you get through general ticketing, you will be surrounded by a good deal of Cornell fans.

I second your suggestion. I called the ticket office and they said they "only have a few hundred tickets for the Cornell game for sale and they will likely sell out in under an hour."

wow, only a few hundred? thats crazy, would of expected much more for general admission. probably some way to limit the number of tickets purchased by cornell fans and have much more going to harvard fans.

i guess i wont cancel my second set of 6 (unless Harvard limits 6 tickets per person)...whoever wants them, email me. face value of course, but you may have to prove your lynah faithfulness if there is a huge demand.

so wait, no matter which tickets we purchase, we can go anywhere else in the rink? they don't have ushers?

If there are other people in your seats it will be an issue, but over half the rink is cornell fans anyway.

Adult SEC 20 D 2 $15.00

Adult SEC 20 D 3 $15.00

Adult SEC 20 D 4 $15.00

Adult SEC 20 D 5 $15.00


See you all there!

Cornell fans usually sit everywhere. The visitors section that is sold through the CU ticket office is usually Sections 14-16. Add in the Cornell Club of Boston's seating, and most of that side (Sections 14-20) is usually CU dense. The band has been put in section 15 most of the recent years. Cornell's team attacks the net near Section 23 in the 1st and 3rd. Harvard's band is in Section 10, and the Harvard students (both the weirdos in costumes and the football players looking for fights) are in Sections 11-12.

Bright does have ushers, but they generally want to avoid confrontations and interactions with us boorish types from the hinterlands. Ticket checks usually aren't made, but if their bosses tell them to get us under control and make us sit down, they will, and usually in a rude manner. You can always find a place to stand behind any section you please.

Edit: I just realized that this game takes place on the 10-year anniversary of Schafer's first coaching win vs. Harvard.

Muahaha!

Looks like going to bed early for once didn't help me out, so I was only able to purchase two tickets together. I'm hoping if I get more friends who want to come later, I'll be able to buy extras off people (or perhaps just go for the SROs that usually go on sale the week of the game).

I got 6 extra together in section 9 as long as they dont have a ticket limit (ordered a extra set of 6 on accident)



EDIT: looks like my 6 extra are spoken for...as long as harvard does not cancel it.

Am I a retard or did they take the tickets off their website? I went here and then clicked on the yellow ticket that says "Crimson Tickets Online," but could only saw 3 Harvard football games and the Harvard/Dartmouth hockey game on the list of available tickets.

They took them down... someone got into work at 8 AM and did a 'oh... SHIT'

Amazingly bad idea really

haha...oops. guess they are only going to have like 12 tickets to sell when they open the ticket office @ 10am. you dont think they're going to cancel orders that were already placed right? Somehow I could see Harvard doing that since most of these tickets seem to have gone to Cornell fans.

I don't think they will... they do have their endowment to look after I'd call that a remote chance. A lowish but more possible chance is knocking off any tickets that people ordered over 6. If they have the capability to do that without tons of manual labor.

Might pay to keep an extra close eye on your email and eLF for the next few days.

yea...hopefully they would use common sense and just cancel any # over 6, and not do like ticketmaster and canceling all your orders.

that said, i looked around and did not see it mentioned anywhere there was a ticket limit of 6...only that you could only get blocks of 6. now I'm leaning towards just keeping all 12 tickets, and selling the extra to the lynah faithful as i'm sure many were not checking the website past midnight yesterday.

Yes, I could easily see it. After the stunt they pulled two years ago with the ticket "package," nothing would surprise me. And they did tell the world that tickets wouldn't go on sale until 10am today. There's already a "temporary authorization" of $30 on my credit card account, but that could easily be backed out.

I could see it, I just don't think it's all that likely. Think of it from their perspective. the were expecting to be answering phones all day today, now they come into work and half the job (the non-stuffing-envelopes part) is almost done for them.

Not exactly a great result, but to go through the effort of canceling all orders only to make their job tougher... well, it's definitely possible, which is why I said keep a close eye, but if I worked there, I'd probably rather say, 'lesson learned for next year.'

Again, anything's possible, but I wouldn't go nearly as far as to anticipate it.

Looks like they're back online. Only single tickets available. Hope that means we keep the seats we already bought.

Single tickets aren't even available anymore.

Somehow I got a package of 3 before they all got bought up.

I keep trying the online website but it doesn't advance after I select 1 ticket.....

Has anybody actually gotten through on the phone to a live human being?

Beeeej

nope, and i've been using 2 phones. best bet is to just keep clicking on the "Continue" link and select 1 ticket. You can then go back and repeat the process if you need more tickets. I've been able to get a few this way.

A friend of mine just got 6 tickets through the phone. He said he couldn't get them online at around the same time.

It has not allowed me even to select one ticket online.

Beeeej

I just got 6 over the phone, and all together no less. They said they don't expect it to last more than an hour, then they'll be sold out.

I can _select_ one ticket but the screen does not advance.....this is since just before 10AM.

keep getting the recording at Hahvahd. they prob have one guy sitting there laughing.

I tried calling from 9:59 to 10:15, and then tried the website from 10:15 on... absoultely no luck.

Plus, the recording first has a woman saying the business hours are 9-5, and then a man saying the business hours are 10-5.

Way to go, Sucks!

Beeeej

Just talked to a human!!!!

NOTE:They are honoring my purchase made at 12:20 this morning.

They also said they only have standing room left!

Just purchased 6 standing room over the phone at 10:32 AM.

if you get to the guy's message and not the girl's stay on the line and they will get to you!!!

Edit - I actually got through a little while ago - maybe around 10:25.

I just got through, and all they have left over the phone is scattered singles and standing room. Sounds like the singles are going fast, though. I got two in section 20 and one in 24 - that was as close together as I could get.

If this happenes to other people, we might want to start a "scattered singles exchange" thread so we can at least try to get people in the same sections as the rest of their group...

I have a hunch a lot of this will happen on the ticket exchange (<--)

Ditto, at 10:41

Talked to a very nice man on the phone at 10:45. Only standing room left.

nevermind! got through just now (10:50) and got 6 standing room tickets.

Me too, just a minute ago. Only standing room left, I think the online system has been shut down. Keep trying, and if you get the man's voice recording then hold the line because you'll get through.

Just got through, bought standing room. Thanks for all the help!

Beeeej

Are also on sale...

"Call the Athletic Ticket Office at (603) 646-2466 Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm. We gladly accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express."

Well I wasnt able to get even a pair of standing room tickets by the time I got through on the phone (11am)... however if anyone wants to see Harvard/Dartmouth you can still get blocks of 6 seats for Saturday night!

I called at 955, was on hold and got through at 10:01. Got 6 seats in Section 20, row C.

Shockingly, the man on the phone new I was a CU fan

-Arik

I purchased at the ticket window at Sucks. They opened the window right at 10 am. I asked the kid if I could get seats in Section 16 or 15 or so and he said. "I have a few in section 20, or I could get you a pair in section 16". I asked if there was anything else and he said not really. So I took 6 in Section 20, row C.

Anyway, I said "Hey, I thought tickets went on sale just now at 10. May I ask how the rest of the tickets are almost all sold?" He said that it had to do with player comps, student seats, and season ticket holders. I'm kind of surprised that they would sell that many season tickets in the visitor sections of the rink, but whatever.

Every year it's something new... and I was even up until about 1:30 this morning, but stuck working and didn't get a chance to check out eLynah. Drats.

Anyway, managed to get tickets at least. For those of you who are wondering, I got there at 9:33 and was first in line. There were about maybe 10 or 12 people behind me, nearly all buying for the CU game, and mostly CU fans.

If they cancel tickets over six i'd be screwed. I had 7 people so I ordered a set of 4 and a set of 3. One set is in section 2, the other in 23.

My bet on tickets purchased in the last 24 hours:

500 - Cornell fans

20 - Harvard fans (because their Cornell friends called and asked)


Red out Lynah East!

...says the guy trolling another school's hockey forum.

I think this has been suggested before, but can you set the board to display fas.harvard.edu as sucks.edu ?

Well, on the off chance that they might have tickets left at 12:40pm I called the Harvard ticket office and was told that it was completely sold out and that no more tickets would be released. If anyone ends up with 4 + extras (seats or standing ) please let me know.

Since the game is Friday this year, there is no women's game beforehand, that always afforded a good opportunity to just walk into the rink and stay for the men's game.

Kate and I won't be making the trip this year. Good luck to all who need tickets.

Got a charge for one set of the tickets I bought....

0/04/2005 10/06/2005 Sale HARVARD TKTS/TDC 00 OF 00(Dining and Entertainment)

Assuming the other set will be posted soon (I purchased it on diff credit cards)....I thought my first order didnt go through so I placed another one, and it seems both went through actually.

EDIT: I ordered Tuesday night, around 12:30am I think

Anyone else wind up with tickets in purgatory? I have six on the glass, but we're over in Section 2. Damn, we'll be sitting in front of my wife's boss - a Sucks alum. Well, it's only a short walk to go stand behind the CU sections.

anyone get their tickets yet? Nothing yet for me

Cornell Athletics charged my card $33.00 today. I guess that means I have tickets coming to me. But then, (insert typical elynah forum ticket office complaint here). All I can say is that there better be some tickets in my mailbox soon.

No offense guys, but I find it pretty funny that you're already stressing out about ticket delivery. The game is still weeks away...

Well, getting Yale tickets (not quite in the same breath as Harvard) was simple: I sent Gene Nighman an email and 10 days later a ticket office-staffing student called, verified my credit card, and that was that. No pushing, no shoving. Maybe they thought I was donating more money than I'm donating.

The ticket office does say tickets for Princeton (at Princeton) are hard to come by. That is nonsense of the first order. Actually, the tickets may be sold out, but SRO seats aplenty are available. Last year we sat one row behind the Cornell bench. Try that in Ithaca.

Hillel Hoffman, I'm counting on you to show for the Princeton game. You just have to take SEPTA a few stops until you hit NJ Transit and then the Dinky Shuttle.

I live right outside of princeton and was planning on getting a bunch of friends together over break to see the game. Would it be easier for me to go through the athletics dept here or just call in to princeton itself? Went to my first hockey game there, but haven't been there since. Can't wait to see the game this year

harvard sucks

Either from Cornell or from Princeton will be fine. It's possible Princeton is sold out already or says "sold out." It's all relative: Unless Bono starts in goal ahead of whatsisname with the red kercheif, you'll find plenty of good seats. And Cornell and Harvard are the only two games where it's much more than half full. If it weren't for the occasional crack of puck hitting plexiglas, it'd be a nice place to study during the, say, Union game.

thanks

The only downside to buying through Princeton is you end up on their mailing list and get all sorts of mailings on football, squeakball, etc. Other than that, no difference.

Last year I just showed up and bought SRO. Nobody in the CU section cares about seat location anyway.

Bump...Harvard still sucks.
