tickets

[DeltaOne81]

Handouts are available outside the ticket office on the full procedures. Dates are right, details are pretty much the same as last year.

Basically, no early arrivals before Friday afternoon, or you'll be kicked out. Probably the best way to deal with early arrivals that doesn't involve massive staff and resources. Of course, I think in my 3 ticket lines (lotto freshman year) they've said that twice and never actually enforced it - so we'll see.

Eh, I still plan to arrive early anyways.  IF they kick us out, I plan to go to the biotech building ala last year.

Regarding the weekend student season tix for hockey go on sale, can you confirm the dates?

Here's the only thing. The sheet says (take that for what you will) that people showing up early may be barred from getting season tickets at all. Now, I'm not saying that's really fair... but let's be honest, the people who show up very early are the ones who make a mess of the system for everyone else.

[No more Lenny :(]

So, what is the official time that we can begin to line up on Friday that we won't be barred from getting season tix? ::rolleyes::

See you all there a week from Friday

i am a firm believer that if you're willing to stay out for whenever, you deserve better seats. but yes, i did show up thurs last yr and was turned away until 3pm fri, when there was already a line formed, which screwed us. have any of the people on this board spoken to somebody at athletics or are in a position to know what the position is on an "unofficial" line this year? is cornell going to throw people out of the biotech area like they make it seem, or are they going to have a policeman make sure that the line they don't condone moves person-by-person to the official line, like last year? that'd be some helpful information, and i'd really appreciate it if anyone knows the answer.

Not really.  It's the organized groups who sneak in a dozen of their friends (and the failure of the university to police them) who make a mess of the system.

If some guy wants to stand out in the rain for 24 extra hours to move up a row, let him.

Ah, the meat of the matter. Well, yes, but, why can't they police them? Cost and everything. Fine, so we just say the very early arrivers have a "Lord of the Flies" experience where they police themselves (or don't and it's their fault).

So, why can't the officials say, starting at 4:45, "everyone who enters this area must go to the back of the line, no leaving line except to go to the bathroom, but you can't leave behind the fieldhouse or the in the fieldhouse". Because someone's gonna have gone to a 3:35 class and come back saying that they've already waited in line for a day and a half, and it's not fair.

If no one got there before the designated time, then they officials would be able to organize everything and make sure that no one cut, but because there was activity before they got there, they can't have a handle on everything they way they'd need to to make it a fair process for everyone.
