Hotel booked.  Radisson, two blocks from arena.  Family of 5, including first hockey game for 6-month old (other than her brother's).

Probably by myself.

I may also go to the East Regional games. Anyone else interested in trying to see both?

Really wish I could make it, considering Manchester was my second favorite place to live (Ithaca is obviously the first). If anyone wants recommendations for good restaurants/bars, let me know. My favorite bars include Strange Brew and Murphy's Taproom, both on/near Elm Street. Murphy's has lots of stuff on tap but the food isn't as good and is closer to the rink, but Strange Brew also has a great selection and better food.

If you're looking for something quick, I highly recommend The Gyro Spot. A friend of mine owns the place. Make sure you get your Gyro with G sauce AND Kopanisti (spicy feta spread).

Cornell ticket office says their tickets are being overnighted. They can't sell till they get them, but expect by noon tomorrow. They think they'll have them up online. However they don't even know what section(s) they will be getting. I didn't ask how many they'll get.

I just got off phone with Cornell ticket office. They expect to have tickets for sale online at 12 noon today, and in person by tomorrow at 12 noon. However, they will only be selling tickets for both sessions. If you just want to buy a single-session ticket, you need to do so through Ticketmaster. I was also told that it looks like the main Cornell seating section is 107.

When I went to buy, they are selling sec. 122.

Here's seating chart. (http://snhuarena.com/arenainfo/seating/#prettyPhoto/3/)

Not to give the ticket office more work, but if you call, you can sort of pick your seats. For example seats on the aisle or high up.

THat CU Box office price is really good.  

I bought tix in 121 from ticketmaster sunday afternoon an they are $45 per session plus $10.65 in service fees (grand total of $111.30 for saturday and sunday vs. $84 from CU even with the fees.

At least I guessed well on the sections :)

If you can come up with a cable provider and password, everything is on Watch ESPN. If no ESPN for you, I'm sure you must have some friend in the states.

One thing to also be aware of when trying to tie into ESPN3 from overseas (based on personal experience) - ESPN may not allow the stream to go to an overseas IP address, so you may have to first log into a VPN such as HideMyAss (you'd have to set up an account - $), pick a US-based host location, then connect to ESPN3.  The extra connection layer can slow down the stream.:`-(.

And if you sign into HideMyAss in China you might want to hide your ass.

Give the CU pep Band an extra nod tomorrow.
They are leaving for Manchester on a 3:45am Bus to play at the game.
Love those kids!
Cornell has the best school spirit in the Ivy League and ECAC for that matter... Go Red!

VPN and cable package all set, streaming buffered up. Thanks so much for the heads-up, guys. I had no idea the service even existed. ::woot::
