I'm having no luck getting through to anyone.

Same here.

The Bartels office says leave a message and the damn mailbox is full.

The Ravens ticket office line has been busy since 9.

Lines are jammed.

Occasionaly the ravens number connects to a data line.  ::smashfreak::

Just got through and got my 4!  Pumped for a weekend in B-more cheering on the Red!  Not pumped for Memorial Day traffic through Jersey and Delaware...oh well.  Good luck to those trying to get tickets, see you down there hopefully.

I just got through to the Ravens' number.  They basically have behind the end zones in the lower bowl, and in the corners in the upper bowl.  I asked him if Ticketshafter was holding the best seats for themselves, and he said no.  They've sold 45,000+ seats so far.  And while the stadium holds 70K, a big chunk of those are in the Club boxes, so you'd have to think it could be very close to being a sellout of the general public seats.
 
Note that they are not assigning specific seats.  They are simply taking names and numbers and will use the next few days to assign the seats.

I also got through to CU, so they must be done going through the people who lined up at the window.  Basically, they have an 800 ticket allotment and the requests of the players' parents get filled first.  

My understanding is that I'm on the list with my credit card info and that will get processed.  If they run out before filling my order, they'll notify me by phone by Wed. or Thurs.

I got through too and placed my order with Cornell.  BUT Cornell explained these are not tickets.  These are REQUESTS for tickets.  First Cornell gives tickets to players and families.  THEN... alumni, in order of the requests, get the balance of the ticks.  BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT HOTEL RESERVATIONS.  Make sure you can cancel. 48 hours in advance.  Cornell will notify you by Wed if your REQUEST can't be honored.

One hopes that enough Hopkins fans will go outside the stadium to party on and that will give us some seating elbow room for game 2 Saturday. If Hopkins were to emerge not-victorious, I think the Cornell fans could have a pick of seats on the 50 yard-line.

You guys do realize that you can go to lax4baltimore.org and download a pdf which you can fill out and fax over to the ticket office? Worked for me...

[BCrespi]

Please know that the Cornell Ticket Office did have a certain amount of acutal tickets before it started taking requests on possible tickets.  I was assured, after just calling back, that my call at 10:30 got tickets.  Just an FYI for those who may panic or whatever.  LGR!

Any chance any tickets are left?

They didn't say anything like this to me (~10:25am). The woman I talked to seemed to indicate that these were actual tickets that would be waiting for me in Baltimore.

When do we find out which starting time we'll have?
