Anyone have info on what section we'll be in?
This is the link to purchase tickets:

It looks like there are lots of tickets sold everywhere but the four corners reserved for the schools that make it, and that there are no tickets sold yet in those four corners.
I think last year the Cornell ticket office provided a code or a link that would let you get tickets in the corners, but the sections aren't assigned until all of the teams have been determined.

Thanks!
I thought that could be the case.
I do remember two years ago we were able to get the code from the athletic ticket office immediately after the game on Saturday night. I don't have a memory of doing that last year.

Back when there were physical tickets, each corner was reserved for the winner of a particular quarterfinal series, but I guess now they can re-seed the tickets as well.
Good news: Sections have been assigned for in Lake Placid. Cornell is Section 16 (and I was able to buy 2 tickets).
https://lakeplacidolympiccenter.com/event/ecac-mens-hockey-championship/
Bad news: Looks like Section 16 is now sold out.
But there are still plenty of tickets in the Dartmouth and Quinnipiac sections and you don't seem to need a code to access tickets in the corner sections.

The map I'm looking at shows the corners still unavailable for sale. On that map, red is sold, blue is available. The corners (and upper sections seats) are all still gray.
And remember, nobody sits in their assigned seats.
Wish I could be there.

I just called the arena box office. I can confirm what Anne said about the Cornell section being section 16. The woman I spoke to said that tickets in that section would open for sale some time after noon today, and that the password will be "CORNELL25."
Also a couple of the other team corners now have seats available in half the section to be sold without the password, presumably because the powers that be recognize those schools won't need the entire section. So I'm guessing Dartmouth and Quinnipiac are likely in Sections 11 and 3, and that Clarkson is the other school they are holding the entire section--section 24--for.

I just used CORNELL25 and it opened up Sec 16. Got M 1-3.

Thanks, Jim. I wound up taking two a couple of rows in front of you.
I had been refreshing the page that showed the seats, waiting for blue seats in Section 16. Once you posted that you had seats I went back and refreshed the original link, and saw the option to select the "Cornell Fan Zone." It's only after selecting this option that you will be prompted for the password.
Also as expected, Clarkson is in section 24 and the two sections that opened tickets early were the Dartmouth and Quinnipiac sections.

I feel like we've already won.
I see now! I was misled by the fact that there were a couple of blue seats in Section 16 and by the Dartmouth/Quinnipiac situation. Well, we have tickets in the correct section, just not great seats. Should be fine, but if I'm feeling feisty later this afternoon I may call the box office to see if I can make a swap. I may be willing to play the "I'm old and easily confused by technology" card if it will help.
So if I wait until Friday to see if we win vs. Q will it be hard to get tix to final on Saturday?
I can only go up that day but is it like at Harvard where all these tix are sold but plenty of
seats will be empty at arena? Or will fans from the two schools that dont make final sell theirs?
Or just dont have to worry about it and can get tix fine for Saturday if (when) we make final?
I went in '19 when we lost final (in OT to Clarkson?) but I dont remember how far ahead bought tix that year
and also bought tix for both the sessions then...
Also, anyone planning on driving up from Boston area Sat. if we make the final, have an extra spot in car
and plan on coming back same day later that night? Thanks & LGR!
Saturday tickets are in less demand on account some of the losing-side fans opt to head home early, or party in town.
Quote from: 617BigRedSo if I wait until Friday to see if we win vs. Q will it be hard to get tix to final on Saturday?
There will be many tickets available from people who live in the Hamden area.
I believe Cornell will be shooting twice at the Zamboni end, that is to the left on the seating chart. That is, sections 10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17 going counterclockwise.
There is wording in the arena info says the home team gets to pick which bench (they are on the same side). The penalty box is opposite.

I can't imagine Lake Placid selling out, even if it's Cornell and Clarkson in the final.

I was thinking the same thing, having listened to Cornell play Denver on the radio outside the U Halls.

I assume you mean the 1969 NCAA Championship game.

I hope you're talking about 1969 and not 1986, 'cause 86 wasn't that long ago, dammit!
Quote from: Give My RegardsI hope you're talking about 1969 and not 1986, 'cause 86 wasn't that long ago, dammit!
1986 was over spring break, so he probably wouldn't have been outside a U-Hall.
I remember being in Vermont to ski, with my future wife/future ex-wife, and finding the scores both mornings in a newspaper. Stupid total goals series!
You sure that it was over spring break? I have a distinct memory of my roommate and I staying up late on a thursday night, watching Letterman, driving overnight to Newark, flying to Denver, through Dallas, bullshitting our way into a fraternity house at the Colorado School of Mines, which actually was on spring break, so they had room for us, then seeing the two games, and flying back on Sunday and returning to Ithaca. Could be wrong, but that's how I recall it. Other than the result, a total blast of a weekend. After period 1 of game 2, we felt great.

1969. My freshman year, which makes me old, but not as old as some of you.::burnout::

I was pretty sure, but I just did some research. I guess only the second game was officially over spring break, as officially spring break started that Saturday at 1:10 PM.

Quite right!

Pre last week Cornell was 150-1 to win the NCAA
dropped to 100-1 now.

Your story intrigues me, because it's almost word-for-word what several friends and I did -- flew out of Newark (People's Express), layover in Dallas (except the damn flight was late so we had to run to the other end of the airport to catch the Denver flight, which we made but our luggage didn't), and crashing at a frat at School of Mines. Except that we were members of that frat at Cornell, which gave us an in. Pretty sure we toured Coors and sampled liberally on Saturday.

Yes, also People's Express, yes, also crazy transfer running for the plane in Dallas. Also toured the Coors Brewery. I recall a lady on the tour asking whether it was a Union shop (for you youngsters-Coors was, at that time, very aggressively not union). I wasn't Greek, but my roommate Adam (a transfer from GW) was which is how we got into I think it was SAE? There was a third guy with us whom I don't remember well.

Tell me you guys are long lost buddies who both didn't know the other guy was posting on this forum.
I stayed in Ithaca for the '86 Denver games and watched the tv broadcast. I remember during pregame the announcers didn't realize the mikes were hot and made comments about Schafer's weight and how he had been dipping into the bonbons too much. I also remember he took a bad hit and it looked like his arm wasn't attached to the rest of him right. He was okay but it was worrisome in the moment.
Quote from: pjd8I remember during pregame the announcers didn't realize the mikes were hot and made comments about Schafer's weight and how he had been dipping into the bonbons too much.
Wow not nice, though I bet opponents felt that bonbon weight when they were being checked into the boards. And of course we know now that the "dad bod" a la Patrick Mahomes is a winning physique.
Yes, Cornell attacks the Zamboni end twice. See the photo on the LP site of last year's championship game. Cornell in white is home, St. Lawrence is visiting. In this photo, the Zamboni end is to the right of the Cornell bench, or the left looking down from seats behind Cornell. Since we are the visitor, we attack twice toward the Zamboni end. That would be sections 18 close to the Cornell bench then running clockwise almost out to the far blue line.
As of Thursday night it shows virtually every seat sold, and the upper balcony with some tickets sold also. It would be nice if the game sells out but ... ah ... if there are more than 5,000 in the stands at any one time, that'd be amazing. No matter what your ticket says, after the first period starts, it's pretty much open seating.
