EXTRA HOCKEY TICKETS IN SECTION B

[Section A]

Excellent point; row 5 is the first row where, at standing level, you're above the glass. Personally, I think row 6 is the best row for viewing a game.

Agreed.  I always try to aim for rows 6 or 7 when in my group at Lynah.

you all clearly know jack shit about the cornell hockey rink.  
yes 5 and 6 are fine but if you think the glass blocks your vision at row 4 then youdo not deserve to sit in a hockey game at cornell, go to the hockey rink and stand in row four.  although with how little you guys know you probably sit during the games.  I'm sick of this bullshit.  everyone is so fuckin bitter. if you got tickets then go on with your lives.  if you didn't because you were too stupid to realize people were going to get their early and things don't always go by the rules and you took the chance that it would work then suck it up that you were wrong and also go on with your lives.  Either your going to get tickets from someone or your not, but this god damn forum thing is ridiculous.

I agree with Jason with regard to being sober.  In order to be extra effective in the taunting of the other team, one must have a clear head at all times, in order to make cheers and taunts dynamic and not just "Harvard sucks" (it's not like it's not true and shouldn't be said, but really, things should be more creative than that).

For the most part I agree with you (most of us save our drinking for after the game; we're crazy enough sober), but without mind-altering chemicals, we would probably never have got "Harvard is in Cambridge" etc.  ::nut::

Great, now I'm going to have to USCHO this thread.  I'm going in...

you all clearly know jack shit about the cornell hockey rink.

And you clearly are a newbie here.  I think it's a safe bet that just about everyone who posts here regularly knows Lynah better than you think.

Row four isn't a terribly bad row to stand in.  However, given a choice, I'd take row six in a heartbeat.

although with how little you guys know you probably sit during the games.

Only when I'm in G, which unfortunately will be this coming year.

I'm sick of this bullshit. everyone is so fuckin bitter.

Many people have good reason to be bitter.

if you got tickets then go on with your lives. if you didn't because you were too stupid to realize people were going to get their early and things don't always go by the rules and you took the chance that it would work then suck it up that you were wrong and also go on with your lives.

I got tickets.  I didn't get the tickets I wanted--not nearly what I wanted--but I got tickets nonetheless, and for that I feel grateful.  Nevertheless, it's evident that quite a few people got screwed that should not have gotten screwed.  These are the people who probably fill at least 13 or so of the 16 points of criteria you posted above.  These are the people I want filling up Lynah week after week.  This isn't to say that rulebreakers such as yourself (and, technically, myself as well, admittedly) can't be hardcore fans in your own right, but the rampant linecutting and the potential ticketscalping needed to be addressed, not to mention what I perceived as a high amount of uneducated freshmen/facetimers who will end up filling up D and E and making my side of the rink into a tomb.  I'm pretty pissed about that. Unfortunately, there isn't much I can do about those facetimers/freshmen, nor about what has already happened.  But maybe I, along with my fellow true Faithful, can help to make changes so that some of these problems don't happen again.  I think that's a very worthy topic of discussion.

Either your going to get tickets from someone or your not, but this god damn forum thing is ridiculous.

Nobody is forcing you to post and read the eLynah Forum.

Speaking of jack, hit the road.

[some guy]

adam, "speaking of jack, hit the road"  on a serious level.  you really can't be cool.  and i think it would be best for this entire university if you just left.  Hardvard has a lot of uncool people there that i'm sure you'd fit in with.  and they know nothing about the 4th row of lynah rink also so it would be perfect for you.

[ice the puck]

please don't post anymore.  I'm getting nauseous reading your posts. sell your tickets, and leave, please

[ice the puck]

I'm with Adam... hit the road

[Jeff Hopkins \'82]

Wow.  I've never seen such nastiness on eLynah before.  This isn't a USCHO flame thread.  "Some guy" has got to go.

And if the person who offered to sell the tickets is truly a scalper, hunt him down and beat the crap out of him.

PS  I've always been partial to row 9 or so.   You see things develop a tad better, and you're still close enough to the ice to be heard.

Section B Row 10 Seat 23 is the best seat* in Lynah. Of course, you can't hear a damn thing for 5 minutes after the Cowbell.  :-P


(*and it was all mine thanks to a mighty no. 27 in the old ticket lottery. )  ::rolleyes::

I have held back posting until now however, this has really drawn my ire.  After having season tickets for the last six years and looking forward to year seven I unfortunatly was at the end of the line that did not get numbers.  Am I upset with the way the line was conducted this year...sure, but what is more upsetting is that people who do not deserve line numbers nor should so much call themselves lynah faithful have hockey tickets for this year.  As I headed back to my car on Friday several students in line were attempting to scalp their line number.  I overheard one girl say "why do I have to stand in line for all this time when all I want to see is the Harvard game."  That's pretty sad...and whoever actually gives this jackass money for a ticket, you are also pretty pathetic.  As for me, I'll be in section O and still cheering on the best hockey team in the land....Let's go Red!!!

I'm afraid to admit that my group, with numbers 792-800, purchased two line numbers not too far ahead of us Friday afternoon.  I wasn't present when the purchases were made, but apparently the two numbers (786 and 788, I believe) were bought for a mere $30.  Considering that the addition of those two numbers gave us the precise amount of tickets we would need, and the fact that we acutally got tickets at all (the two numbers were really gambles, if you think about it), I think it was justified.

As for that girl only wanting to see the Harvard game, alas, there are far more people like that than any of the true Faithful would like.  At last year's Harvard game, I recall hearing one girl in my group saying, and I quote, "I only bought my ticket to see this game!"  Ugh.  She isn't my friend, thank heavens.  I hate these frickin' facetimers so much.

[one who was going to sell]

I can't deal with this anymore and don't need nor want all these people hating me.  I have given my extra ticket to a friend.  I apologize for causing all this drama.   I got hundreds of e-mails which i am just going to forward to my friend.  She said she would be happy to get rid of it (she doesn't like hockey)  it seemed to be the only fair way.  Well that is it, for the people who sent me e-mails my friend may e-mail you or something i don't know, i don't care, i am extremely happy to not have to deal with it.  I hope you all have a nice day.
