Hello,

I'm taking my little Brother to the Cornell at Princeton Game this weekend. It's his first Cornell Hockey game (or first hockey game for that matter) and he is super excited. I was wondering if you guys had any info to share, like what would be the best section to get tickets in. or other useful information.

Thanks

It is cold. Dress warmly.

You can walk up to the ticket office day of game at 6pm and get SRO tickets. You can usually find an empty seat to sit in.

Judy speaks the truth. No matter how good Princeton is, no matter how sold out Princeton says the rink is, Hober Baker Arena's 2000 seats are more than enough for Princeton and Cornell fans.

And there will be Cornell fans pretty much all over the rink. So there isn't a specific out of town section to shoot for.

I've gotten my share of free tickets and heavily discounted tix at Baker Rink as well.  Just hang around the ticket booth area and look like you need tickets.  Look out for people giving them away or trying to dump extras.

After the game go to Hoagie Heaven at 22 Nassau St for a huge, disgusting, fat-laden, bizzare combination sub prepared by non-English speaking possibly illegal artisans.  At least as good as Hot Truck with more variety diversity. (Sorry, but it IS Princeton after all.)::banana::

+ 1 or 2. No CCGP block this year. Shame.

+1 - looking forward to it

Hobey Baker Rink is a great place to watch hockey - not a bad seat in the whole place...

Our group is trying to decide where to go before and after the game.  Either the Alchemist & Barrister or Triumph Brew Pub...both of which have great beer.  maybe we'll hit both ::drunk::

I'll be there plus 9.  This year the price of the Cornell game is the same as all other Princeton games ($10) -- unlike the last year or so, when they upped the price of the Cornell game, presumably to gouge Cornell fans.  Any idea what made them see sense?

I'll be missing this game for the first time in several years, but I did just spend the last two hockey weekends in Ithaca, so I don't mind so much.

Me plus some non-negative integer. Not sure yet who I'm gonna be able to cajole into going with me. Email me at gjh2 at cornell if you want to carpool from NYC.

The woman on the phone said that only SRO tickets are left and they seemed to have gotten more phone calls on this game than they have in past years.

I'll be there +2 and cupcakes.
