Cornell at Princeton

[CAS]

...Tickets for the Nov 4th game are now on sale

[Iceberg]

I find it funny that tickets for this game only went on sale today but for the game at Lynah East, which isn't until January, the tickets have already been on sale for a while. I guess Harvard must really need that liquidity from ticket sales

[upprdeck]

Wouldnt it be related to how teams do season tickets..  Cornell season tickets had until last Friday to renew so they could really sell tickets to single games until after that.  Harvard might do season tickets by Sept 1st?

Cornell waits pretty late which also adds to less time to contact people who might have forgotten or move people around or process new season ticket requests before opening up game tickets.

Wouldnt it be related to how teams do season tickets..  Cornell season tickets had until last Friday to renew so...

Since I received an email noting that season tickets were on sale (and haven't had season tickets since 72-73) I wondered if the wait list is no longer.

The 3 season tickets near my seats and held by my friends @ RPI in Troy aren't being renewed.   Is there a similar trend at Lynah?

I mean, they only have to call three people.

Fwiw, the Princeton ticket site now says ticket
availability for the Cornell game is limited.

Fwiw, the Princeton ticket site now says ticket availability for the Cornell game is limited.

That's what the Princeton site has said since Cornell first played there circa 1960. Seats are always available at Hobey Baker. Last year to be safe, we either went to the rink and got tickets at 4:30 pm then went to dinner at Winberies, or got them online a day or two in advance.

Here's why it's a "sellout" even when hundreds of seats have been unsat-in since the days of Brooke Shields and McKenzie Scott Bezos. Princeton allocates free seats to studens.

Undergraduate and Graduate Students:
All Princeton University Undergraduate and Graduate Students have free admission to every Princeton Athletics home regular season event.Simply bring your Princeton ID card to the event and you will be admitted free of charge. https://tickets.princeton.edu/athletics/online/default.asp?doWork::WScontent::loadArticle=Load&BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::article_id=F8C4E11A-AC67-4AA5-9AE8-FB45B200D926&menu_id=24433735-8748-40D0-B7BD-697E742D7F2D#:~:text=concerns%20about%20a%20purchase.,be%20admitted%20free%20of%20charge.

Princeton P.S. There's a service charge if you buy your tickets online [$1], over the phone [$2] or at the box office [$2]. If you order so early they can be mailed, there's a surcharge for that.

Exactly 30 days to conference hockey.

Actually, I showed up at the box office a few years ago and was told they had even sold out standing room.  I only got in thanks to Ned and Annie Dykes (and a couple of passes).

That is progress (for Princeton selling out). I'm trying to recall if ever Princeton sold out a Cornell game. In truth, we did get tickets in advance, just in case of another sellout happening. But there will always be empty seats, because of the set-asides for students to come in on a student ID.

I bought my tickets when they initially went on sale but apparently the local alumni association in Philadelphia still has a block of unsold tickets going for $6 each. I don't think the sales page is restricted and I can PM the link to anyone who still needs tickets

Schafer out with Covid...again.
