FYI....hoping to get tickets this year and make it 6 years in a row for me.

Last year the online ticketing system didn't work, so be prepared to call in.

I have it blocked out on my calendar at work, so no one thinks I'm free at that point and tries to schedule any meetings with me.  A few years ago, though, I couldn't get through on the phone for an hour, had to go to an 11:00 meeting, and when I came back, was lucky to get some SROs.  Maybe I'll extend my "appointment";-) an extra hour, just to be sure.

Does the Harvard ticket office limit the number you can purchase to 2 per caller? Or is it 4?

Is this the only way to get tickets, or well the Cornell ticket office get some at some-point?

yes it is possible, but getting through harvard is your best option.  last year they did a lottery for the cornell alottment since there was such high demand...I knew a few people who put their names in, and none of them got any tickets.

I was able to get 3 right at 10:00 on the website, but not more than 3.  By the time I went back at 10:03 to try to get more, it seems they are all gone.

On the phone, was on hold for a few minutes beforehand. My friend ordered some online, too, so it seems everything was working.

It declined the first credit card I tried to use online(which was working fine yesterday)so I don't think it would authenticate if it didn't go through, not sure why one would have popped up later

That's extremely fishy. Call to confirm the order went through. They ran my card while I was on the phone with them and he verified it had been processed.

At least you know it wasn't credit card fraud. Or really, really poorly done credit card fraud.

Same here...Mike (who was quite nice by the way) told me to hang on while he made sure my credit card verified properly.

I've got two in Section 13...a little to close to the Sucks section for my liking (I know, all the easier to taunt them), but I'll probably end up standing at the top anyway.

We've got 2 as well -- right by the Sucks band ::help::

I just called and they confirmed that the order went through. I am thoroughly confused, since I'm 99% sure I didn't give them the number. Oh, well, that's $108 in free Sucks tickets for me.

If I am unable to obtain tickets once I figure out whether I'll be able to make a weekend trip to Boston in February because everyone felt it necessary to buy tickets the minute they went on sale five months in advance, I will be irked.

Thanks for sharing.

Personally, I figured even if I don't know for certain I can make the trip, I am relatively certain that there will be enough demand for tickets that if I can't go, I'll recover my cost.  Even if I can't, I'm relatively certain that I can afford to eat $15 as the cost of knowing I won't miss a big game just for lack of a ticket.

On other words, physician, irk thyself.

Piece of advise... try plugging away on the website.

I got the general "Sold Out" message for a two days, and tonight I kept hitting the "submit order" button while I was watching TV, and after a little it apparently was no longer sold out, and found me 2 tickets.

No idea why this happens, but this system apears to make as much sense as my past experiences with ticketmaster.

Just purchased two reserved tickets.  

It seems like they sporadically add more tickets, because every other time I have checked there were none available.  So if you want reserved tickets, I guess the best thing to do is just keep trying until some are available.
