2010 NCAA hockey regional ticket situation

[Anne 85]

I wouldn't assume that re-entry policy is the same for NCAA playoffs as it was for ECAC playoffs.

I was able to get tickets in 117 and 119 by calling the 800# and purchasing each day separately.  All-Session Pass was cheaper but seat selection for that package was limited and lousy.

Thanks.  Just did the same.  117 P 1-2 Friday, 119 Q 4-5 Saturday.  Tickets are $5 more each plus more fees, but as I'm coming all the way from Chicago... I want Faithful seats.

Cornell ticket office still does not have information on section for Albany, but will have a conference call within the hour and will post the information they get online.

I walked up to buy and they told me the Cornell section was the same as last week.

Beth and I will be in 117 Q 13/14 on Friday and 117 P 1/2 Saturday.

Beth and I will be in 117 Q 13/14 on Friday and 117 P 1/2 Saturday.

So they tell me that they don't have the same seats for both nights so you have to pay individual day prices, and then you get the same seats for Saturday that I had for Friday?  Seems like a lousy computer program.

For those going, which hotels do you plan to stay at? I've never been to Albany so I'm not really sure where to start looking.

The Hampton Inn on Chapel St. is where many people stayed this past weekend, it's less than a 10 minute walk to the arena and conveniently located near quite a few bars.

I usually stay out on Wolf Rd. in Colonie.  5-10 minute drive to the TUC.  Plenty of restaurants and shopping to kill non-hockey time.

Last weekend I stayed at the Days Inn.  I booked there for this coming weekend, too.  $116 for two nights.

Are single-day tickets available?

[cmoberg]

Yes, single day is what most of us have been buying to get near/in the Cornell block.

[Greenberg '97]

Are single-day tickets available?

Yes.  $45 per session, as opposed to $80 for all-session tickets.

The online ticketing system seems to be giving you better seats when you buy single-session tickets than the package.  You may be able to call and get your desired section.  I decided to go with StubHub (Section 120, which is center ice, one section away from the edge of the Cornell tickets).  So now I just have to pray to the FedEx gods.

[Jordan 04]

Thanks for the info. I will probably head up to Albany if we play on Saturday.

Just called and talked to an actual ticket sales rep. Closest I could get was 116 for 5 seats. According to her, 117-122 are largely sold out, but still have a few pairs/ 3 seats. So I'd say buy soon!
