Just a quick heads up that at Harvard tickets went on sale this morning at 10 through the web only.  You will not be able to call in to the ticket office this year and reserve seats.  There was a computer glitch this morning, but that appears to be corrected as I was just able to get through and get tickets.  This is 1 month earlier than these tickets usually go on sale, so I wanted to give everyone a heads up before they are all gone!

Aren't the CU sections usually in 14 and 15? I know I could just stand there in the back but Section 1 is on the opposite end.

Well, you could spend the day at your computer waiting for Harvard's computer to offer you sections 14 or 15, or take good seats when they pop up.  Section 1 is in a corner--the best place to watch a hockey game.

Well, second best.;-) Sec. 13 is the CU fan corner. Usually 13 to 19, or so are all Cornell fans. 14-15 are more general CU fans, 16-18, or so, are more Boston based CU fans. Certainly more than half the fans in attendance are expected to be CU.

There still seem to be single tickets for sale.

Ticket searches now returning Section 13, the Cornell corner.

Yay! I just got 2 at Section 13 and no lottery! See you guys there =D

Dammit, still giving me alternating Section 1 and Section 7.  I wish it were a little more sophisticated in seat selection ability.

Interesting that the CU game is the same price as the other home games, while grad students & kids get hit with a $2 hike.

This really sucks. I don't check eLynah for a few days and I miss out on the Sucks tickets. They're only selling individual seats online now.

So buy them. You can always move, god knows it's never full.

Particularly not next year, when it could be a battle of sub-.500 teams.

Exactly. I rarely spend more than 1 period in any one section or standing area. So many people to see scattered all over the place, plenty of unoccupied seats (especially on the opposite end) in most sections, and you rarely see their ushers do anything, really.

It's not the ushers I'm worried about. It's the party of 20 that arrives half way through the 2nd and says "hey, we have all these seats," and then forces you to move down to some weird spot.
