If the Big Red wins their First Round game, First Round ticket holders will automatically receive tickets to the Second Round. Second Round tickets will be available at the will-call location one (1) hour prior to the Cornell game. If Cornell does not win the First Round game, your credit card will be refunded for the price of the second round game.
