More lotteries, please! ::bang::

It's only for the piddly little allotment of 72 tickets Harvard's required to send to Cornell, anyway.  Hundreds more will be available for purchase through Harvard's ticket office, as usual.  In fact, more than usual, since I won't be going.  :-)

Has anyone found out when Harvard's ticket office will put the Cornell tickets on sale to the general public (meaning Cornell fans, of course)?

They do enough of that with the new "luxury boxes" in Lynah...$13,000 per season.

LOL, an open lottery for 24 tickets.

Yikes.  No wonder they didn't sell out last season.  Who would pay 13,000 dollars just for the privilege of sitting in a seat rather than on a bench?

I was told that they did sell out the boxes last year.

On the other hand, at least they have an obstructed view.

Hmm, perhaps I'm thinking of the overhanging walkway seating?

I got an email from the athletic dept. today telling me that I was not one of the lottery winners. It's a good thing I was able to get through to the Sucks ticket office the day the tickets went on sale!
