If you want to send me an e-mail at my non cornell e-mail adress (eeek14@aol.com), you can ask me about the negotiable price for one or two season hockey tickets in section B, and they are not bad seats either. They are row four, the best row because you can see right above the glass but you are so close, and they are in the middle. I can sell mine and if you want to buy two my friend is selling one also that is the next seat to it. two tickets in section B, best seats you can get even if you did camp out for days. So send me an e-mail, let me know if you want one or both tickets and the price is negotiable. well thats it, but send me an e-mail fast because anyone who didn't get a season ticket and anyone who just wants better seats is going to want these tickets.
man - if you are trying to make a big profit off these than you are a sad, sad person. if, on the other hand, you are selling them for close to face value than i apologize for all the 4 letter words i called you upon initially reading your post.

Ditto.
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. I can't stop you, of course, but I hate to see real Cornell hockey fans get ripped off.

Did you really spend the time to get the tickets just so you can turn around and sell them? What's the reason you don't want them anymore anyway?
I'm generally a capitalist at heart. However, someone who buys Cornell hockey tickets with the express purpose of scalping them hardly qualifies as a member of the Lynah Faithful.
Disclaimer: this guy may have a legitimate reason. Innocent until proven guilty and all that.
the main question is sell them to the highest bidder, or the person with the best reason? highest bidder is easier to determine, I say sell them to whomever can proove to you they will not suck ass. there should be sertain requirments, they must promise to
1. not be sober
2. take their shirt off for the third period
3. not take their god damn keys out before 10 seconds left in the third period
4. not ask me what a seive means, (you should know it)
5. where red to every game
6. not be a dork
7. well not to big of a dork
8. bring at least 10 pounds of fish to hardvard game
9. know the reason the dartmouth goalie did not look at us once last year
10. knows that it is not ruff them up
11. is not affriad to get kicked out for yelling
12. not being sober is negotiable but you'd have to be clinically crazy
13. should know all the seniors or other team members from last year that are not going to play and why?
14. know lenny's stats
15. and must have a loud voice you can hear over the bell man
16. if you don't know who the bell man is or what he does you have no right to every mention the word hockey again
~these are only 16 of the 100 requirments people should have to fit to get those tickets
Some Guy, there seems to be a strong connection for you between attending Cornell hockey and getting "crazy drunk" (I think that's how you put it in another thread). I say save the drinking for after the game; I never once saw a "fan" who I thought was better for having been liquored up. Almost always they were a distraction, or worse an embarrassment, for the other Cornell fans around them.
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 am in total agreement, except for maybe Lenny's stats since he's not around anymore. True, a knowledge of Lenny's stats would demonstrate fanaticism to a degree, but the knowledge itself would be irrelevant at the games this season.
And point #2 I definitely agree with if the fan in question is female. :-P
ok i guess i agree on the sober thing, if it means they can't make fun of any of the other teams as much.

I would take the most money someone offers unless someone made a good argument why they can close the money gap with other attributes.
.
.
if someone can say why they deserve the tickets more than someone else then i'll just decide with my friends who should get it. you could agrue with how much you know about hockey, your reason, how much money you will pay (although it is not the deciding factor anymore, even though i am broke as shit, but because you guys convinced me it should not just be for profit). so yeah, send and e-mail, list why you should get it, everything can be a reason. so this is the deal. e-mail why you and your friend should get these tickets, with any or all the reasons above included. but e-mail me soon.
extra tickets man,
out of curiosity, what number were you in line?

some guy, I hope your list mentions something about 'goon' instead of 'lose' too ::rolleyes::
[Q]some guy, I hope your list mentions something about 'goon' instead of 'lose' too::rolleyes::[/Q]
Nah, it's way more important to show up loaded than to know the right words to a cheer, and those are mutually exclusive.
i figured something like this would happen. i hope u dont sell it for lots of ca$h considering it is quite easy to get section O for all the games...
also, as a point of contention, I had thought that row 4 was actually right where the top of the glass blocks the view of most people...
Excellent point; row 5 is the first row where, at standing level, you're above the glass. Personally, I think row 6 is the best row for viewing a game.

Agreed. I always try to aim for rows 6 or 7 when in my group at Lynah.
you all clearly know jack shit about the cornell hockey rink.
yes 5 and 6 are fine but if you think the glass blocks your vision at row 4 then youdo not deserve to sit in a hockey game at cornell, go to the hockey rink and stand in row four. although with how little you guys know you probably sit during the games. I'm sick of this bullshit. everyone is so fuckin bitter. if you got tickets then go on with your lives. if you didn't because you were too stupid to realize people were going to get their early and things don't always go by the rules and you took the chance that it would work then suck it up that you were wrong and also go on with your lives. Either your going to get tickets from someone or your not, but this god damn forum thing is ridiculous.

For the most part I agree with you (most of us save our drinking for after the game; we're crazy enough sober), but without mind-altering chemicals, we would probably never have got "Harvard is in Cambridge" etc. ::nut::
Great, now I'm going to have to USCHO this thread. I'm going in...
Quoteyou all clearly know jack shit about the cornell hockey rink.
And you clearly are a newbie here. I think it's a safe bet that just about everyone who posts here regularly knows Lynah better than you think.

Row four isn't a terribly bad row to stand in. However, given a choice, I'd take row six in a heartbeat.
Quotealthough with how little you guys know you probably sit during the games.
Only when I'm in G, which unfortunately will be this coming year.
QuoteI'm sick of this bullshit. everyone is so fuckin bitter.
Many people have good reason to be bitter.

I got tickets. I didn't get the tickets I wanted--not
nearly what I wanted--but I got tickets nonetheless, and for that I feel grateful. Nevertheless, it's evident that quite a few people got screwed that should not have gotten screwed. These are the people who probably fill at least 13 or so of the 16 points of criteria you posted above. These are the people I want filling up Lynah week after week. This isn't to say that rulebreakers such as yourself (and, technically, myself as well, admittedly) can't be hardcore fans in your own right, but the rampant linecutting and the potential ticketscalping needed to be addressed, not to mention what I perceived as a high amount of uneducated freshmen/facetimers who will end up filling up D and E and making my side of the rink into a tomb. I'm pretty pissed about that. Unfortunately, there isn't much I can do about those facetimers/freshmen, nor about what has already happened. But maybe I, along with my fellow true Faithful, can help to make changes so that some of these problems don't happen again. I think that's a very worthy topic of discussion.
QuoteEither your going to get tickets from someone or your not, but this god damn forum thing is ridiculous.
Nobody is forcing you to post and read the eLynah Forum.
Speaking of jack, hit the road.
adam, "speaking of jack, hit the road" on a serious level. you really can't be cool. and i think it would be best for this entire university if you just left. Hardvard has a lot of uncool people there that i'm sure you'd fit in with. and they know nothing about the 4th row of lynah rink also so it would be perfect for you.
please don't post anymore. I'm getting nauseous reading your posts. sell your tickets, and leave, please
I'm with Adam... hit the road
Wow. I've never seen such nastiness on eLynah before. This isn't a USCHO flame thread. "Some guy" has got to go.
And if the person who offered to sell the tickets is truly a scalper, hunt him down and beat the crap out of him.

PS I've always been partial to row 9 or so. You see things develop a tad better, and you're still close enough to the ice to be heard.

Section B Row 10 Seat 23 is the best seat* in Lynah. Of course, you can't hear a damn thing for 5 minutes after the Cowbell. :-P
(*and it was all mine thanks to a mighty no. 27 in the old ticket lottery. ) ::rolleyes::
I have held back posting until now however, this has really drawn my ire. After having season tickets for the last six years and looking forward to year seven I unfortunatly was at the end of the line that did not get numbers. Am I upset with the way the line was conducted this year...sure, but what is more upsetting is that people who do not deserve line numbers nor should so much call themselves lynah faithful have hockey tickets for this year. As I headed back to my car on Friday several students in line were attempting to scalp their line number. I overheard one girl say "why do I have to stand in line for all this time when all I want to see is the Harvard game." That's pretty sad...and whoever actually gives this jackass money for a ticket, you are also pretty pathetic. As for me, I'll be in section O and still cheering on the best hockey team in the land....Let's go Red!!!

I'm afraid to admit that my group, with numbers 792-800, purchased two line numbers not too far ahead of us Friday afternoon. I wasn't present when the purchases were made, but apparently the two numbers (786 and 788, I believe) were bought for a mere $30. Considering that the addition of those two numbers gave us the precise amount of tickets we would need, and the fact that we acutally got tickets at all (the two numbers were really gambles, if you think about it), I think it was justified.
As for that girl only wanting to see the Harvard game, alas, there are far more people like that than any of the true Faithful would like. At last year's Harvard game, I recall hearing one girl in my group saying, and I quote, "I only bought my ticket to see this game!" Ugh. She isn't my friend, thank heavens. I hate these frickin' facetimers so much.
I can't deal with this anymore and don't need nor want all these people hating me. I have given my extra ticket to a friend. I apologize for causing all this drama. I got hundreds of e-mails which i am just going to forward to my friend. She said she would be happy to get rid of it (she doesn't like hockey) it seemed to be the only fair way. Well that is it, for the people who sent me e-mails my friend may e-mail you or something i don't know, i don't care, i am extremely happy to not have to deal with it. I hope you all have a nice day.
Perhaps if you weren't a jack ass, people wouldn't hate you.
When someone says, in his opinion, row 4 has a blocked view, you don't have to throw a hissy fit... damn frosh.
But I bet Adam can spell "Harvard" :-}
I think Hardvard plays in the same league as Brom and Darmouth. ::nut::

You made me go did through that thread on USCHO, John. Brilliant observation!
Also, makes you wonder whether our current leaders have little creatures on their shoulders making them attack other countries.
