Student Season Ticket Information

From the ticket office:

Dear Cornell grad student,

If you are receiving this email, your name is on the grad student season hockey ticket line number list. Since undergraduate students did not purchase all of their allotted tickets, more season tickets are being allocated to grad students.

And, since there are still Cornell hockey season tickets available for students in the E/F general admission sections, the Athletic Department is also offering these tickets to spouses of grad students. The season ticket price for spouses is the same $247/season ticket discount price that Cornell students pay. However, payment must be made by cash, check or credit card.

If this message reaches students who have not purchased season tickets and you are interested in purchasing a set, you may still do so by visiting the Athletic Ticket Office in Bartels Hall (M-F / 10am-5pm).

If you have any questions, please call 255-4247 or simply reply to this email.

GO BIG RED!

Sincerely,
Athletic Ticket Office Staff

From the lack of outrage can we infer they did it right this year?

I think I'm just tired of complaining...

Speaking of which...have any other non-students received their season tickets yet? My credit card was charged weeks ago, but I still haven't seen my envelope of joy yet.

They're on their way this week.

Nope. They charge the card as soon as they process the order, basically.

Warning: Chick Flick reference below.

Gee Rich, the "envelope of joy" reminds me of the scene from the movie "Fever Pitch" and how excited the Ben character was when the UPS man showed up with his season tickets. Do you really get that happy? ;-)

Mine were in my mailbox when I got home this evening. ::banana::

My recollection is that in past years they didn't get around to doing that until around now, which always used to make me panic that my renewal had got lost in the mail.

[quote KP '06]Sections E and F are general admission this year (no assigned seats). I kind of like the idea ... it will be interesting to see how it works out.[/quote]

So does that mean there are no season tickets for E/F because I thought in the past F was general admission but some people still had season tickets for F?

My renewal form disappeared in the mail this year. Gene Nighman Called me a few days after the deadline and wanted to confirm I was not renewing before he released my seats to someone else.

Say what you will about him in how he carries out his other duties, but I think when it comes to just running the ticket office, he's a class act and does a pretty good job.

Yeah, got mine on Friday. ::dribble:: The Postal Service was obviously waiting until I lost patience and asked the question.

Except last year when I called in my renewal, my credit card was charged for tickets, and a few weeks later I got a phone message telling me that they never got my renewal request and they were going to release my tickets unless I called them back within a few hours (and when I called back, nobody picked up). If they only go by the paper form, I can see how a mixup can happen, but it still left me angry. Can't say I was upset at Gene himself, though.

Understandable.

I don't see why they don't have some sort of online renewal setup, seems like taking the US Postal service and people's propensity for forgetting to mail forms out of the loop would be an improvement.
