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.
Thanks
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.
Just bought 6. ::banana::
Got two in section 17, row 3, via the web site.
available online as well this year.
easiest year yet...got right through.
will probably have a few to sell once I figure out how many I actually need since we ended up with 12.
Sold out? No tickets available online at this point ... or is the system down?

Phone or online? The website was showing no ticket availablity as of 10:00 for me.

available online @ exactly 10am..
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.
Got 6 in section 16 via the phone right at 10.
Just got 6 over the phone.
6 by phone, keep trying online. I just picked up a single.

On the phone, was on hold for a few minutes beforehand. My friend ordered some online, too, so it seems everything was working.
Also, last year I got one in the PM online. Suspect someones credit card was NG.
Way to go Al! Prime location. I got two separated in adjacent sections.
Phone guy didn't tell me where.:-D

I thought this was fishy: they didn't ask for my credit card number over the phone. Did this happen for anyone else?
Showing 2 not available together online anymore.
I just picked up a single online. Keep trying.
Just picked up 2 singles online.
Edit: And 2 more.
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
Got 2 singles in section 13 row G and E.
BTW, our friend, Erin, the TO Manager, is out on maternity leave.

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.
Two tickets to "Paradise" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFR6EO5-cjE)? ::whistle::
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.

Or two steps closer to Alzheimer's.::dribble::
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 picked up two SRO tickets. :-)
Just got 4 SRO! Looked like there were reserved seats open too. LGR
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.
got all 12 of my tickets in today....why the hell did i order so many? :)
EDIT: dont have any to sell at this time..waiting on a finalized headcount from my friends. may have a couple, but dont know for sure yet. i'll post if/when i do have extras.
Me too.
Am I the only one who hasnt received their tickets? I have been having some doubts about my postal service anyways, but heading in to Christmas I was getting nervous that they hadnt come, and now seeing that some people got them more than a week ago has me on edge
Will call the ticket office in the morning...
