In the words of the immortal Clint Eastwood, "Do ya feel lucky, punk?" If you don't want to gamble, buy what's available now either at the Garden or on Ticketmaster. The Cornell athletics office may also have some, and it's worth the call. When I called them over the summer, I could get better tickets from the other sources. I think only nosebleed section tickets are available now.

Alternatively, you can wait. I seriously doubt the Garden is holding back good tickets at this point. You can try walking up. Maybe the Garden will still have some tickets, or maybe people will be selling them in front. If it were me, I wouldn't choose this option, especially with kids. Nonetheless, we report, you decide.

Well I wasn't feeling lucky but I did manage to get 5 in 214. I will take that at this point. I can only hope that it is behind the goal CU shoots on for 2 periods.

These tix and the 115s we heard about becoming available are behind the goal and I suspect that they weren't selling these sections until they filled in the sides a bit more. Just speculation.

Anyway, thanks for your inputs.

Perfect time travel? Wish for a healthy scalping scene at the arena?

Oh, this is easy. Check out StubHub and fork over up to $238 per ticket.::cry::

bigggreddd77 · November 09, 2007, 12:22:20 AM

Yeah...been there...not gonna do it...and $238 is about the middle of the road price. I was thinking of getting the whole lower level VIP box for $2,223 but decided against it. :-P

Yeah, that's an unfortunate aspect of having the game at a venue like the Garden. People who make their livings reselling tickets put up prices that would be "appropriate" for the Rangers games rather than college hockey. They don't know/care about the event and will just take the loss when no one buys and let the tickets go to waste.

Clearly it's inefficient here because of lack of correct information about college hockey market.

But... but... I thought the freemarket solved all problems ever!

Seriously though, this discussion makes me wonder how much of this 'near sellout' is actually scalpers. What's the chance we get there and there are under 10,000 people actually in the building (still impressive or a college hockey game, but meaning half of the tickets that the actual fans couldn't get were bought up by people looking for a profit). Okay, it probably won''t be that much, but it'll be interesting to see.

No, it's inefficient because (a) as the Cambridge Capital debate demonstrated, "efficiency" only has meaning in markets devoid of non-monetary capital (no MSG) and (b) what we have here is speculation and rational risk-taking in which the transaction costs of learning about the college hockey market outweigh the benefits.

No, it's efficient. QED.

Now, back on topic... I just went to Ticketmaster and they don't have any seats available, even a single seat. I can't imagine the game is sold out, although I have heard that they've opened up the blue seats.

Although red is one of my least favorite colors, I was planning on going down to MSG to support college hockey ... or head up to Potsdam for the SCSU weekend. I guess ticketmaster is making the choice for me.

[quote DeltaOne81][quote Chris '03][quote Oat]I have heard nothing from the Class of 2006. I'm pretty upset right now.[/quote]

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

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

Sadly, I agreed with you... and now I have no tickets. ::doh:: I'm still a little dubious about how many tickets have been sold, though. We'll see.
