Any official word on Cornell ticket office sale of Albany tickets?

andyw2100 · March 14, 2010, 07:48:16 PM

I expect that as in the past, the Cornell ticket office will start selling their allocation of tickets for the ECAC championship games in Albany tomorrow morning. But in the past they didn't keep it a secret. They included information on the sale either on the 607-254-BEAR ticket office recording or it was posted online somewhere. I've searched and called, but can't locate an official announcement of the sale.

Is it the general consensus here that this sale will take place, starting at 9:00 AM tomorrow? Is the info posted somewhere, and I just missed it? Did Arthur possibly make an announcement I did not hear on Saturday night?

I'm kind of surprised I'm having this much trouble confirming that the sale is taking place.

Thanks in advance if anyone knows.

I am guessing that everyone involved in ticket sales or ticket sale publicity who doesn't actually get the weekend off was involved in the b'ball selection show hoopla. Announcement is posted on the "purchase tickets" link -- available at noon tomorrow [Monday].
They also recommend purchasing in person if possible due to all the post-season activity -- both hockey teams and basketball next weekend!

Here's the link, if anyone else is looking for it:

That info was not there a few hours ago. I guess I should have looked again.

Thanks again.

Where Cornell says online, "Note: Phone traffic will be very high due to NCAA Basketball, NCAA women's ice hockey and ECAC Hockey ticket sales. In-person purchase of ECAC Hockey tickets at the Box Office windows in Bartels Hall is recommended," they're not saying "in equal amounts." Most Brown students are probably unaware they have a hockey team and most Union students will think the "Union finally makes ECAC quarters" to be a spoof by the Onion.

I don't think I can go on Friday, but Saturday is an option. If memory serves from the last time I went on a Saturday, it's usually not a problem getting tickets just for Saturday, right?

Depends on how many thousands you need.;-)

If it were a problem getting tickets on Saturday the tournament wouldn't be moving to Atlantic City! !!

Robin again posting from Elliot's computer.

Just called and ordered ECAC hockey tickets from Cornell ticket office (yes I realize I could walk into the Albany arena at the time of the game and buy a couple thousand tickets) . The woman said they have a "long line at the window" and will be processing those requests first and then moving to phone orders.

So I just came back from the ticket office and got my student tickets in section 115 for both days.

The prices have actually changed for the two day passes - from 24 dollars to 28 dollars for both days. My guess is they never got the two-day discount tickets at Bartel because they posted the prices last night but the manager at the office said they only received 14 dollar tickets this morning.

Anyways, I don't think they are sold out yet and people can definitely call. There is no line at Bartel as of this posting so come and get them if you were waiting.

Do the tickets have times on them for Saturday's games? I'm assuming they're 4 and 7 again, but I want to make sure.
