When do away game tickets go on sale?

[Adam \'01]

Just curious if anyone remembers, based on when schools started selling single game tickets last year.  

I spot-checked Harvard's website and they are still "awaiting pricing information" for this year.  And Princeton's website still has the ticket page up from last year, with no mention of when they'll be updated to reflect this year's games.

Likewise, when will the CU box office start selling away game tickets?

Thanks in advance.

To the best of my knowledge, away game tickets from the Cornell ticket office are basically available whenever the CU ticket office receives them from the home team - totally at the mercy of the organizational skills of the other schools.  There's no set time (e.g. two weeks before the game) or anything like that.  So, if you really want tickets @ Harvard in the Cornell section, you pretty much have to call the ticket office every day to find out if the tickets have come in yet.  At least, that's the way the system appears to work, based on my (limited) observations.

and

each team sells tix for their games starting at different times too...getting tix for section O last year for every game meant calling each ticket office a few times the same went for games away from lynah

I called Yale yesterday asking about the game in New Haven, the woman on the phone was extremely nice and said the tickets go on sale when ticket brochures are printed.  She couldn't tell me when that was going to be, but she took my name and address and said she would mail one to me when it was available.

I called the HarvardSucks Ticket office since I am living in Cambridge (aka the Hell of Hockey).  The guy said they will go on sale 7-10 days from when I called (last Friday- the 19th).

Along those lines anyone know when tickets for the Everblades Tournament go on sale?  

I will be in SW Florida this Christmas again.  I bought tickets from the Cornell ticket office two years ago, but waited a long time and was hoping to get better seats this time.

Last year Harvard hockey tickets went on sale around the third week of October.

I called the Princeton ticket office today and spoke with a rather confused individual.  First he tried to sell me football tickets.  Then when I further explained that I was calling about hockey he said, "What's your rush?"  Hockey tickets are not on sale there yet, needless to say.

Clearly he doesn't understand the mind of a Cornell fan.

Oh, but does any non-Cornellian (and some Cornellians, I call them facetimers) truly understand the mind of a Cornell fan? :-D

I've met one.  His daughter is a Cornellian.

He understands. ::nut::

I didn't know it was possible to have poor seats there.  I walked up about 20 mins before the Maine game last year, and was fine with the selection.  I'm not entirely sure where my actual seat was, because the place is empty enough that it really doesn't matter.

And for the consolation game, I think everyone had their own section.

I don't know when they go on sale, but I wouldn't be too concerned about being shut out of good seats.  You might want to check on Ticketmaster, since they control Everblades/Estero events, and had tix for the tourney last year.

Well, most of the building winds up being Cornell sections, but the visitors tickets at Bright are usually in Section 13-15...can't remember exactly, but in that general area.

I've been calling Harvard daily - each day I get a new person who tells me a new day.  Today I was told Friday.

Generally, Cornell fans dominate sections 14-19. The Band sits in section
15 creating the "heart" of the fan section that spreads through sections 14 and 16. I've had tickets before in section 15 and the seats are great - but the Band is right behind you...so if you don't like loud concerts, think twice before sitting in that area.

For quieter seating, consider sections 17-19. Still solidly Cornell, these sections are generally populated with alumni. Within sections 20-22 it is a mixed bag of Cornell and Harvard, although I would say that 55% of the fans in those areas are Cornellians. This past year, I had tickets behind the Harvard goalie - an excellent vantage point, but I did have to take some ribbing by one "not so friendly" Harvard fan. By the way, the weak little Harvard fan area is section 11.  Stay away from this crowd - over the years I have been going they have gotten a bit more obnoxious...not true hockey fans just game facetimers.

The Cornell Club of Boston seats have been in sections 17-20 in recent years.
