Frozen Four

[dadeo]

Where did you hear that from?
I heard something completely different a week or so ago from teh CU ticket office.
I'd say about a third or more of the tickets are already spoken for.  These tickets have already been allotted to alumni who have donated to the athletic program specifically for the purpose of getting priority.  And then, there are player families, comps, and CU administration, etc.
So the lottery (if there is one) will not be for many tickets.  Also, how does one prove they are a season ticket holder, since ouru vouchers went for the RPI games.?

David,

They do have a list of names / ID #s / emails that they gathered on the season ticket line, and used to send us the email warning us about fish at the Harvard game. My guess is they'd go off of that.

If I'm here next year as an MEng, I'd hope they'd use that in some sort of priority system for season tickets, otherwise it'll probably be insane.

When I was at Cornell, I lost my priority when I came back for a 5th year to get an MPA.  Of course, the 92-93 season wasn't one that I was dying to see a lot of . . .

Or from Barry Melrose, who knows a little bit about college hockey, but has undisguised contempt for it.

Someone explain why they wouldn't assign Gary Thorne to it?

I've heard something rather different. I heard that we get 300 tickets. I'm not sure whther this counts tickets already given to player's families and alumns or what not. There was then an email address to which you would send your name to to be put in a lottery which names would be picked from. Two tickets would be allowed per lottery winner. I heard nothing of priority being given to season tix holders. Hence I bought mine from ebay. $150, side of that ise that Cornell should shoot at twice, 1st level. I am PSYCHED!

At which end will we be shooting twice?

Have some tickets coming my way in Section 324, row 2, and working on more :-)

There should not be a lottery. The tickets should go to the first 150 people from the original ticket line this past fall. If a person cannot go, then the University should go to the next person. How about transportation as a part of the package? Now that would be nice. I hope we have some thinkers back there. Now that would really make sense.:-D

I'm much more concerned with where they put the band.

[David Harding 72]

CUAA web site says tickets are limited (they're not saying how many).
Season ticket holders can enter a lottery.  50% students, 50% non-students.
You have to e-mail them asking to be entered by 5:00 PM Wednesday.  The hockey team will draw the winners during practice Thursday, starting about 4:30 PM.  Everyone is invited to attend.

No official word yet, but my best guess would be the last two rows of the 300 level behind the goal where we shoot twice.  ::worry::

Are you concerned that we will be too far away or not far enough :-P
