Re: Ticket Line Procedures - 20 years ago
Or, if you're feeling particularly bold, you can always hack the Athletics database, download a list of ticketholders, hunt them down, kill them, and take their tickets. But if you do that, uh, stay away from section G, please?by Will - Hockey
Re: Preseason polls? - 20 years ago
Oh, I know for a fact that the polls mean nothing, but I'm curious as to what the pundits and coaches think. After all, what the coaches believe will gauge how they guide their players into playing against their opponents.by Will - Hockey
Re: EXTRA HOCKEY TICKETS IN SECTION B - 20 years ago
I agree with Jason with regard to being sober. In order to be extra effective in the taunting of the other team, one must have a clear head at all times, in order to make cheers and taunts dynamic and not just "Harvard sucks" (it's not like it's not true and shouldn't be said, but really, things should be more creative than that). As for all the points relating to hockey trivia, I amby Will - Hockey

Re: EXTRA HOCKEY TICKETS IN SECTION B - 20 years ago
Yeah, what melissaa said. Andrew (as your AOL profile says), I know the seeking of profit is a strong lure, but please, I urge you not to seek an overwhelming amount of profit for these tickets. No, I can't stop you from doing so, but I've come around to the opinion that ripping off your fellow Lynah Faithful is wrong. So please, don't gouge people for this.

Oh, one more thing, for those who don't know, yes they WERE selling the "I did my time in the line" shirts again this year. They're slightly different; they have a little prisoner/jailbreak guy on the back along with a flying puck. They ran out of the smaller sizes quickly, leaving only XLs left around 1PM on Saturday. That was fine for me since I'm a big guy. I actually ended up buby Will - Hockey

Re: Ticket Line Procedures - 20 years ago
Thank you Sgt. Gourley for at least some explanation. True, we can always try to make it better next year (I'm sure a lot of us were discussing more 'perfect' systems throughout yesterday), but the question is, will Athletics listen?

Re: Ticket Line Procedures - 20 years ago
Yeah, so I got screwed over too, but potentially I'm getting screwed over even worse than the people who were told to go home. You see, my group of people was cut right in half by the assignment of #800, effectively giving half our people the line numbers we need. Somehow, we eliminated people who really didn't want to be there and also acquired some additional numbers ahead of us in line to maby Will - Hockey
Re: Ticket Line Procedures - 20 years ago
Aren't there a little over 300 seats in each section (except for the corner sections F and K)? So assuming each line number grabs two seats, #150 would still get into B, albeit as Avash stated, probably in worse parts of B. I checked the line at about 8:30-8:40 and there seemed to be 30+ people there, most likely even more by now. I have no idea if they are on the unofficial list or not, thougby Will - Hockey
Re: Ticket Line Procedures - 20 years ago
Avash, I understand your reasoning, and I personally am not going to stop you from trying to take an earlier place in line, but there are a few things you should probably consider: 1) When was the last time that people didn't attempt to line up before the pre-announced time? Not counting the lottery year(s? how many years was the lottery in existence? I was only around for the last lottery yearby Will - Hockey
Re: Ticket Line Procedures - 20 years ago
I would hope the students at large would respect the paper. However, that paper won't prevent a select few @$$hole frat boys from cutting in line and getting better numbers when they're finally given out. Right now, I'm just hoping me and my group of 30+ 'friends' can at least break into the middle of section D.by Will - Hockey

Re: Ticket Line Procedures - 20 years ago
Well, it's one thing to have season tickets and another thing to actually attend the home games. I knew plenty of people who were in my block of people (I wouldn't call them my friends so much as friends of friends of friends) who bought season tickets last year just for the Harvard game, and that's it.

Re: Ticket Line Procedures - 20 years ago
I don't like that system exactly the way you described it. Hockey should be kept separate from all other sports, particularly since hockey is the only sport where students are charged. What I would recommend is that somehow the more hardcore fans of hockey can be rewarded in succeeding years, perhaps with getting the chance to get better seats in succeeding years, although I don't know how to dby Will - Hockey
