What's the price? It looks as though price can only be viewed if one is logged in.

I want to sit with Cornell people. But sometimes calling the stadium and asking for a Cornell section gets you better seats.

I got a cold call from M&T Stadium 2 weeks ago asking if I wanted to buy tickets.

$94/person for semifinals and final.

I'm planning to just rely on getting tickets outside the gate prior to the game(s).  

Has anyone had any past bad results with this strategy?

[Weder]

The last time the championship weekend was in Baltimore, there were plenty of tickets available through the stadium ticket office for the upper deck. Can't remember if you could get tickets in a particular school's section, though.

Just tried the latest-n-greatest ticket ordering system Athletics has contracted out.  Logged in as alumni in order to get the following message: "Tickets not on sale for your user type."

Awesome.

LaxPower's bracket has the Cornell-ND game as being the late (6:30 pm) game. Might be a place-holder as every other source still has some form of TBA.

After the Virginia win yesterday, ESPNU had the Cornell-Notre Dame game slotted for 4pm with the Virginia-Duke game at 6:30.  Looking at seedings, the latter would certainly be the 'marquee' game.

We're planning on getting tickets at the gate.  

weather.gov says partly cloudy with high of 81 next Saturday in Baltimore.

Which sections are for Cornell?  One of my kids and I will be there on Saturday (and hopefully Monday!).

Rich, you didn't do something smart like figure out as an alum how to make NetID work? Because I found if you are of the few alumni who have been able to create a NetID (which is useful) it seems to place you in a netherworld where you can't access student tickets but it somehow doens't want to let you buy general public tickets. By the time I figured out that mistake last week, all the the Cornell tickets were gone online for the Army game. At SB yesterday, 10 minutes asking people waiting to get in netted us three tickets in a sort of Cornell section, at face value.

Cornell is certainly trying to make the fan experience better by adding brand new, not-seen-elsewhere technology such as online ticket sales and webcasts. It remains humbling to see how a bunch of RPI kids who were obviously rejected as not smart enough for Cornell managed to do a webcast with multiple cameras, instant replay, and resolution as good as any IPTV I've seen in Europe.

Others in the Ivies and our league may have a better online experience. We had the team in the sweet sixteen and now have the team in the final four.

FYP. Like yesterday's ESPNU announcers, you forgot to give appropriate credit to our women's hockey team for making the final four/finals in their championship. ::twak::

I purchased tixx directly through the stadium, (410) 261-7283.  I wanted better seats than what you can get from the Cornell tixx office (Cornell ticket office told me they're selling Section 107, which is in the corner).  Ticketmaster doesn't have good seats left, and their surcharges are much higher than calling the stadium directly.


I got Section 101, Row 41 for $95/tixx and $10 fee (total of $200 for the two tixx).  Apparently these seats are behind the Cornell bench, but up high enough that we'll be able to see well.

Probably has something to do with the Cornell allotment selling out yesterday evening:
