Townie Season Tickets

I just got put on the waiting list for townie season tickets. It's five years long! I was expecting a couple, but not five years. Maybe the expansion will help with this? Anyway, my friends and I were wondering how hard it is to get three of four tickets to any given game if we want to get back together in Ithaca for a game or so a year. We understand it's not going to be Harvard, but is it possible for other teams, say Union, etc...?

During break it's very easy. During the stretch run it gets tough but it isn't impossible.

Four of us drove up from NJ for the Princeton-Yale weekend. A couple people on eLynah helped us and there were people at the gate selling extras. If you don't mind standing, I think you'll be able to get in to any game. Not sure I'd try it for Harvard, but not sure it wouldn't work, either. Somebody I talked to from Binghamton or Scranton said he'd been coming up for years and always got in.

mjr, did they tell you how many are on the list? I haven't checked my place yet this year, but last year there were less than 200 on the list (which tells you how slowly tickets turn over).

Greg's right about break, very easy to get tickets then. I've also had luck using this site's ticket exchange board.

Using time to measure the length of a list is quite misleading - a much better metric is your number in line... According to the conversation my father (who's on the list ahead of you! ) had with the ticket manager, ZERO season tickets changed hands during the summer of '03 (following the Frozen Four appearance). Anyone really think it will be an infinite number of years until the next person on the list gets a ticket? So yeah, if you're #200 on the list and about 40 tickets are exchanged per year (on average), then that's a "5 year list," but it would really only take one or two down years to clear out the entire queue.

If there's really an expansion, and the list is only 200 people long, then those already on the list would probably be covered - provided that Cornell Athletics, Inc. doesn't reserve those seats for fat-cat bigwigs...
