Now there's a lie you'll never get any Cornell fan to believe.

Has anyone gotten tickets yet? I just tried the link to the MSG Box Office, but the event's not showing up anywhere.

Too bad it's only a 3-game series.

Just got an email from Athletics...

QuoteA special package for students is available. For $45 you will receive a Big Red Sports Pass, a ticket to the game at Madison Square Garden, and a free Red Zone t-shirt. Students may bursar this package either in person at the Cornell Athletic Ticket Office or by calling 607-255-4247. Sales start Monday, April 30 at 10 a.m. The ticket office is open Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. This package will be offered until May 31.

This is actually a pretty good deal considering the fact that they charged $40 for the Sports Pass this year. It's worth it if you're going to the game and think you'll also be seeing $30 worth of sporting events next year. (I won't say how I feel about Cornell charging students admission to the events covered by the Sports Pass...)

The press release made it seem like tickets in the Cornell section could be ordered through Athletics or Ticketmaster, but I'm not entirely sure about Ticketmaster putting people in the Cornell section...I think I'm just going to go through Athletics.

Does anyone know if the CU athletic ticket office is limiting how many tickets one person can buy?

[quote ithacat]Too bad it's only a 3-game series.[/quote]Eh, 3 is fine. I'd like to see more games against schools we haven't played before (or haven't played in a long time).

A number of classes are planning seating blocs, so that's another option. Most classes try to have one NYC event each year and since the annual Cornell class council meeting has relocated to Philadelphia for a couple years, this may be it.

I have heard nothing from the Class of 2006. I'm pretty upset right now.

Why? I don't think any class has made a formal announcement about blocks of tickets. And I really doubt anyone will have trouble "sitting with the cornell section."

I really don't see what all the fuss is about. It's not like MSG holds 2k people and will sell out today.

Of course the important question is who's organizing the alumni band for the game? They better not be seated in the rafters like in albany. :-P

My thoughts exactly. This is MSG, people. 18K+ capacity. You'll be able to get good tickets walkup on November 24th, no doubt.

Yes, Cornell and BU draw well, but 4 Cornell's wouldn't sell out Times Union Center in March for a championship. Nevermind two teams selling out MSG for a regular season game on a holiday weekend when many people will put family first and hockey a distant second (yes, believe it or not :-P ).

What's the big deal? I'll order in the fall.

Unofficially, the word I got from the pepband manager is that he's looking forward to doing the game at MSG, so an alumni-organized band won't be necessary (alumni supplements, probably).

Family first on Thursday, yes. But this is Saturday.

Maybe students have become more family focused in the wake of 9/11 or something. But on the chance today's students feel as their parents did when they were students, and the parents' parents ... much as you love seeing mom and dad and day three of turkey leftovers, sometimes, some students, might just want to get the hell out of the house for a little personal peace. The Garden looms large, then.

Sometimes we confuse a close-knit family with the washer and dryer at home being free.
