[quote Robin]Also got 4 x2 (ie 8 tickets) in section 9.
how many of y'all are in this section?
I believe it is next to the Hahvahd band.
oh well.  At least I'm in.[/quote]

Pretty sure our tickets are there, too. Maybe enough Cornell fans got stuck there that we'll be able to turn the section red.

Anyone else out there think the CCoB should get out of ticket distribution and focus on maybe getting this game put on CN8 or NESN or Fox North?  Maybe I dont understand the local cable thing well enough, but given the demand every October for tickets you would think they could set something up with a channel that normally broadcasts weekend hockey.  They can still skim some income off the top by hosting a nice event with a good big screen and a cash bar.  It has gotten to the point where I dont think I would pay for a CCoB membership just in protest that the $30 only lets you get a number for the ticket lottery, get more e-mail than I care for and announcements of events I wouldnt pay more to go to anyways.  Thats enough ranting for now, my apartmentmate actually got through on the phone and scored 4 tickets, so I will be there, this could have been much worse if neither of us had gotten any tickets. :-P

Just for the record, I had two try exactly two times.  First time I got the answering machine, so I called right back and got a very friendly person.  2 SRO tickets with no fuss.  So there.

I'm pretty sure Section 9 was mostly Red at last season's game.  I met friends over there and sat in 9 until I realized it was bad luck for me to be there.  I relocated back to my old seats, and that's obviously why the comeback happened.  :-D

fyi, I called Cornell about the waitlist, and they told me that if you got your name on the list, you have a good chance of getting tickets through them.  He said they only took ~100 names (I suppose every took 2 tickets each), so I'm guessing they have ~200 ticket allotment + whatever they save for family/donors/etc

Section 9 is actually a pretty good place to watch the game. Despite the netting, the sight lines are very good. There was one uptight parent with child who almost exploded arguing with some CU fans and security about language, but at least no one took him seriously. There's also the bonus of watching the H Band antics ("Hey Cornell, three points is a field goal, two points is a safety... safety school...safety school." Too bad about that late safety, huh guys?).

I have 4 in 9 again this year plus 3 in 22 and one in 21.

That was great.  And by great, I mean pathetic for them.  Which is great.
