HARVARD SUCKS

[RichH]

SRO has been the same price as a regular seat for several years now. I used to pick up SRO for $8.

Harvard price-gouging:

Most games: $20
Yale game: $25
Cornell game: $30

I'm starting to wonder if I should just stop giving money to Harvard and use my streaming subscription for this. This one game is almost as much as a 4-month pass to ILDN.

The $30 for the ticket is dwarfed by the cost of transportation, alcohol, and bail.  It shouldn't drive the decision.

I find it amazing that they can charge $20 for every other game. It's not like they've been good or anything.

I think in this case the revenue derived from Sucks fans paying $20 or $0.05 or $1000 per ticket would be the same.

They also spike the prices a bit for whenever BU and BC play there (both happened last year). But generally, they have attendance issues.

"To Harvard" are the important words. And how much is the Cornell Club of Boston charging for the honor of hanging out at the bar where we used to just do the same thing by ourselves?

Actually, you just reminded me that my car was towed after that game last year, so you're not that far off.

More to the point, the $20 regular game price helps them justify the $25 Yale and $30 Cornell game prices, and those two games probably net them more than the other regular season games combined. If they really priced down to demand - e.g., $5 - the $30 for our game would seem outrageous instead of merely greedy.

They suffer through the indignities of the Lynah East game so that they can enjoy the deathly quiet of an empty Bright the rest of the year. Hockey how it's meant to be played!

It is not so quiet the rest of the year. You can hear the crickets and the rats make noise when they scurry about.

I also forgot that in an closet in the building Harvard has a special rapid stamping press. The rest of the year you can hear it clunking out its paricular rythm ehay ehay ehay ehay......

It is a very busy machine.

They're not scurrying, they're just partying to celebrate their straight As.

I hate Harvard as much as the next guy, but that article is breathtakingly stupid.

Must have been written by a Sucks grad.

[quote RichH]Personally, I get more of a Cornell vibe from the UC Berkeley campus than I do from Stanford.

The hills, the clock tower, the not looking like a Taco Bell...[/quote]

Apparently Olmsted, or at least his company, did all three. The Stanfords had the idea of making the campus a utopian community, building on the California vernacular and locating buildings in an egalitarian republican way. Stanford's charter also calls for teahing the virtues of cooperative forms of economic organization. It also was free for about the first 50 years.

Amazing how a robber baron came to seek social reform.
