Any sense of ticket availability for Cornell at Colgate this Firday evening? We're thinking of driving up for the home-home two-game series but have little information about tickets at Colgate. Thanks!

I have no idea about current availability, but my advice would be get your tickets ASAP. If this year's game is going to be anything like last year's game, then you might end up getting screwed if you attempt to buy tickets at the door just before the start of the game.

NEVER JUST SHOW UP AT COLGATE WITHOUT TICKETS, EVEN IF THE BOX OFFICE SAYS "THERE IS NO WAY WE WILL SELL OUT, DON'T WORRY DEAR." YOU WILL WIND UP SITTING OUTSIDE THE RINK FOR 2 PERIODS BEFORE YOU RUN INTO A DITCH IN THE ROAD BACK TO CORNELL ON THE WAY HOME AND OUR TEAM BUS PASSES YOU.
just my advice

Call Colgate and order them over the phone w/ your credit card. They'll sell out at the door, but you shouldn't have problems calling now or in the next couple days and reserving your tickets. Get there early if you don't want to have to squeeze into a mass of people to find a place to stand - of course, then the mass of people will just squeeze in around you.
When Colgate sucked (only a few years ago), Cornell students got a good percentage of the place to themselves. Now the 'Gate students actually go, and I'd be shocked if they weren't way over firecode for the Cornell game.

IIRC last year at Starr they were giving free pizza to Colgate students who attended the game. Some of it ended up on the walls and/or on the heads of Cornell fans.

And other flying objects...a few years ago we were pelted by M and M's and empty pizza boxes (albeit we were in the colgate townie section). Cornell had 200 tickets as of last week when I got mine, so if they are indeed sold out, I hope we have a loud and boisterous contingent. See everyone Friday!!!

so i know this has nothing to do with colgate tickets but ... thanks to whomever read my mind and put together the Family Guy piece for the pep band. i've been saying this for about a year (by saying this i mean to myself in my head). i think the crowd liked it seeing as they finished the intro when the band had to stop.
btw … colgate sucks! (had to be said sooner or later)

>>> Listen to what A-19 said! <<<
>>> Order now, because they won't take phone orders less than 48 hours (or something like that) before the game! <<<
As someone mentioned, this used to not be a problem. 2 years back (the game that never happened) there were maybe 20 Colgate fans not counting thier band, and a few townies scattered. Last year I guess they suddenly staggered drunkenly over and discovered gee whiz they have some sort of rink and whattayaknow there's a hockey team playing tonight! (I recall discussing with A-19 whether we should go to the local CVS to get the same color marker they were marking people's hands with.) The best was hearing Colgate students talking shit about how Cornell fans shouldnt be there, though we've probly given Colgate hockey more money than they fucking have. Even better was one dissing us for having an arts college, I guess he was too much of a dipshit to realize COLGATE IS A LIBERAL ARTS SCHOOL.
Ah all the Colgate hatred is coming back this week.

Almost all the Cornell fans are placed like they are at RPI, in the section behind the net. They oversell the game by several hundred and as a result every fire code in the book is violated. There were no aisles last year at all, just people standing everywhere. Get there as early as possible so you can get a good place to stand.

Indeed. As much as I love the band, it's no fun having to stand behind the tubas, to which I can personally attest.

I have a good friend among the Colgate fan base, so this does not hold for 100% of the crowd. But. Lots of drinking in the Colgate crowd, before and during the game. Also, lots of behavior copied from Beneath the Planet of the Apes. Without the irony.
Root hard, stick together, don't linger.

Everyone, he isn't joking. I'm hoping the Colgate fans are going to be more well-behaved than they were last year, but last year, I was physically confronted (i.e. shoved, taunted, etc.) by 4 different fans - 2 in the stands, 1 in the lobby, and 1 by my car when I was leaving. And I know I wasn't the only one.

That could be a very interesting thread by itself...horror stories from Starr. Besides the usual shoving, shoulder-checks, threats of fisticuffs that have happened every time I've been there, I know of bandies who got hit with a glass liquor bottle (during a game), and of course there's the time some Colgate punks were trying to blind our goaltender Jason Elliot during play with a laser pointer. That was the only time I've ever seen Colgate security actually do anything. I got spit on with a juicy loogie from the window of the yellow school bus Colgate sent to Lynah one year....I really should've tipped over the keg they had hanging out the back door. I'm so sick of the harrassment that I've sworn not to go to Starr anymore. It just isn't worth it.
Just take a look under the benches of the Colgate student section after the game.

To be fair, the worst offenders may not be entirely or even primarily Colgate students. There's a large townie contingent, many of them Young Bored Males, and there aint a lot to do in the dark months in Hamilton. Like they say about my own adopted hometown: "hills, whores, and liquor stores."

My only request as a nondrunken Colgate fan is that you all realize there are good Gate fans out there. Maybe not the majority (since the majority of Gate crowds are the students, many of whom are drunk, and a good number of townies) but we exist. If I was in your shoes, I would probably complain about your experiences at Starr too, but just remember that those actions are not representative of everyone.

True enough, and I've met a few. My biggest pet peeve since the college hockey online community really took off is the generalization of fanbases. e.g. "Team X's fans are all obnoxious, boorish, stupid, classless* oafs." All schools have their share of good seeds and also rotten apples. Just varying populations of each type from school to school. Lord knows I've been embarrassed on more than one occasion by Cornell fans in various places...home, away...online...
* don't get me started on how often people used to rant on USCHO, CHDF, and the old Clarkson Round Table on how "classless" every fanbase was. The online community was obsessed with the term "classy" when it came to fans, and you only got that distinction if you knelt down and worshipped your opponent. Thankfully, that no longer seems to be the case (thought admittedly, I don't frequent USCHO too much these days). I think people have realized that if you dig past the colors of the jersey you wear, we're all hockey fans. Now it's just better to make fun of each other's University/College/Institute. (Edit: or the scoreboard. The only thing that really matters. )

If you want to take slightly bigger roads, should the weather not be great, as has often been the case, you can do:
whatever -> Route 13 -> I-81 N -> Route 20W -> 46S which becomes 12B
Unfortunately I have no idea which is quicker, as I've done each once, but both times in pretty bad to horrible snowy weather. Better luck this year!

Exactly my point. And back in the day (late 80's to early 90's), Colgate was actually one of the most initimidating places for an opposing team to skate. Cornell's 4-1 victory over an otherwise perfect at home 'Gate squad in Hamilton in 1990 was a great victory for McCutcheon's boys. Forbodingly, 'Gate later returned the favor in Ithaca, breaking a Big Red 6 game conference win streak (although IIRC that was the game Ross Lemon broke the Cornell record for consecutive games scoring a goal).

Everyone, he isn't joking. I'm hoping the Colgate fans are going to be more well-behaved than they were last year, but last year, I was physically confronted (i.e. shoved, taunted, etc.) by 4 different fans - 2 in the stands, 1 in the lobby, and 1 by my car when I was leaving. And I know I wasn't the only one.

That could be a very interesting thread by itself...horror stories from Starr. Besides the usual shoving, shoulder-checks, threats of fisticuffs that have happened every time I've been there, I know of bandies who got hit with a glass liquor bottle (during a game), and of course there's the time some Colgate punks were trying to blind our goaltender Jason Elliot during play with a laser pointer. That was the only time I've ever seen Colgate security actually do anything. I got spit on with a juicy loogie from the window of the yellow school bus Colgate sent to Lynah one year....I really should've tipped over the keg they had hanging out the back door. I'm so sick of the harrassment that I've sworn not to go to Starr anymore. It just isn't worth it.
Just take a look under the benches of the Colgate student section after the game.[/q]
That's the first time I hear of this. Three of my buddies and I were at last year's game. We neglected to get seats ahead of time, so we wound up with standing room. We spent the whole game in front of the glass where the zamboni comes in. We were in full Cornell regalia and didn't experience any harrasment, hardly even verbal, and we were surrounded by Colgate fans.
All the same, I won't wear my all-star game jersey to Colgate...

The person that arranged it is Nathan Olson '05. By the way, the smattering of applause that we received was nice (as for the singing, that was freakin awesome).

Up 81 to Lafayette (exit 15) and then 20 west is definitely my preferred route. One good reason? Have dinner at the Brae Loch in Cazenovia on the way there, or drinks there on the way back. (I'm more likely to do the latter.) They're right on the corner with the blinky traffic light as you're coming into Cazenovia and turning right.
Hey, let's fill up their bar after the game Friday... decent variety of bottled and draft beers, pool table, outstanding scotch selection. (After all, it's a Scottish B&B.)

According to USCHO fan postings...
[board.uscho.com]
"Tickets for students (1000 were held) opened at 3:30 and was sold out by 3:55. That's a little over 1/3 of the student body."
