[Tom Pasniewski 98]

Update from the Hofstra Athletics website:

Over 6,200 tickets have now been sold for the much anticipated NCAA Division I Lacrosse Quarterfinal at Hofstra's James M. Shuart Stadium next Saturday, May 16.  The first game will begin at 12 p.m. when Syracuse takes on Maryland.

Fans who wish to purchase tickets this week can do so by calling the Hofstra Athletics Ticket Office at 516-HOF-TIXX or by purchasing online until Friday, May 15 at 5 p.m.  

Tickets can also be picked up at Shuart Stadium Will Call starting at 9 a.m. on May 16 (gameday).  Will Call will be located at Gate E (The Howdy Myers Pavilion).  

Fans are encouraged to pick up their tickets at the Ticket Office during the week as it is anticipated that lines at will call and ticket windows may be long on game day.

Reserved parking passes are now Sold Out. Fans that do not have a reserved parking pass will be directed to purchase game day parking on the north campus on May 16 for $7 per pass.

Parking lots will open at 7 a.m. on May 16.  Fans that purchase tickets on game day can do so starting at 9 a.m. at Gate C (main entrance to Shuart Stadium) and Gate F (north east entrance to Shuart Stadium).  Please note that purchases on game day will be cash only (there are no ATMs at Shuart Stadium).

$5 processing fee per order. That's pretty ballsy for an in-house operation.

I wish I had known; I'd have gone in with other folks.

Yeah, I was expecting to pay $50 for two tickets and the reserved parking and instead got only two tickets and no parking for $50 with the ticket and service charges.  

Maybe the NC$$ has their hand in the cookie jar above and beyond what they take for ticket sales.  

Whoever mentioned on street parking - don't count on it.

As Fred said, take the bus from the train station (bus hub across the street from Hempstead LIRR station).  I think the walk is further than 1.4 miles.

Your comment made me curious so I checked with Google's distance measurement tool... it says ~1.75 miles. That's easily a half-hour walk.

Boo-hoo.  Almost a complete round trip between Donlon and Upson.

Even in college when I was used to walking daily, I would have bitched heartily about having to do a complete round trip, without a break, between Donlon & Upson.

Not saying its undoable, it'll just take a long time.

And I would have called you a wuss for bitching about it.

Just bought my ticket.  I was #7300+.

This thing may actually sell out.  ::wow::

You think they are going to sell 5700 more by tomorrow? I think I'm going to stick with taking my chances on buying at the gate.

I hate to wimp out on an NCAA quarterfinal, especially after such an amazing experience at the Cornell/Albany QF in Princeton two years ago - but I've just been fighting off a cold, and forecasts are calling for rain followed by thunderstorms tomorrow.  If it weren't on TV I might still consider it, but I think TV is the better part of valor here for me.

Plenty of street parking as you moved east from the stadium.  I was four blocks away, and kept it nice and legal (as opposed to some who were disregarding crosswalks, driveways, and hydrants).
