2010 NCAA hockey regional ticket situation

Maybe those sections are hard to get because those are the seats that are given to the CU ticket office. I just went with best available...I have faith in the Faithful that no matter where I sit it will be a Cornell section.::cheer::

Can't wait...let's rock this joint one more time!

118 went to the CU ticket office, so you can;t get them through the TUC. However 117 and 119 still have seats, just not many, so I imagine those did not go to Cornell, but will be largely Cornell.

UNH will make a good showing I'm sure. I sat in a UNH section in '03...it was not fun. Too much NASCAR talk ::pop::

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.

Agreed. I'm fighting that same battle right now on the phone.

And we lost the battle (though I will say that the ticket agent tried a number of ways to get me the all-session package deal - kudos to him for his efforts). So just as above, I have the same seats for both days, but have to pay for singles. BTW, we're in Section 116 Row E. That was as close as I could get to 118.

ticket agent told me that only a few single seats are left in 119. If you want more than that you're toward the ends. We got in 116 also, so should be a good Cornell crowd there!

I just got off the phone with an agent from tickets.com and he said there are seats in 119, but that he could only sell me all-pass seats in section 215. Anyone got any idea why that's going on? ::wtf::

sockralex · March 22, 2010, 04:33:35 PM

215 or 125? I've been pulling up section 125 seats all day online. Called and almost got 116 but was on hold too long and had to run to a meeting...

Apparently, certain seats have been allocated to the single session buying block and are not available for the all-session pass. For what it's worth, even though I already have tickets, I just checked though the website for Best Available Friday and the tickets shown happened to be in 117, Row R.

Just got off the phone with the Cornell Ticket Office and they are waiting for the tickets to arrive from Albany. As to when and how tickets will be distributed/sold, keep checking cornellbigred.com and/or the Cornell Athletics ticket info page for details.

As another data point, I just talked to RIT's box office, and they expect to start selling theirs when their box office opens tomorrow.

I just got off the phone with them as well. At the moment they are "still unclear whether demand will require a lottery." Not sure how that will be determined, but they will be on sale at some point tomorrow. I was also told they have 116 and 118, not sure what happened with 117.

The latest ticket info is here cornellbigred.com.

On sale at noon tomorrow, 400 tickets, section 118, and a lottery form will be available sometime tonight for if demand exceeds their allotment of tickets.

The form is now up.

Ugh, this is a pain in the ass.

First, the lack of a student ticket price. Last year you could purchase a $60 all-session student pass for Grand Rapids, which was only like $10 more than the cost of a single game ticket.

Second, the inability to purchase single-session tickets from the Cornell ticket office. If you only want to go for one day, you have to buy through Tickets.com, which adds enough fees to get the price up to $55.

I purchased tickets in 115 tonight. I figure that whole corner will just be one big Cornell section.

A-ron · March 22, 2010, 11:58:41 PM

Anyone else end up in 125? I'm still trying to decide if I should go for these or wait and see if Cornell has enough tickets to go around. Also, it won't let me look for tickets in the upper level...

From the TUC seating chart, I'd guess 116 will be the standing section, with the more sedate types in the 2-3 sections to its left and right.
