Cornell vs Harvard @ Bright [TICKETS ALL GONE]

[jaybert]

[quote Killer]Just got through and was able to get 4 standing room.  Whew!  I had to take a break for a while to attend a meeting (that I was dumb enough to schedule for 11:00 today), so I was afraid I'd get shut out.  Well, we're in.

hahaha...I had to take a break for about 10 minutes in between since one of the project managers msged me and asked if I could talk about getting staffed on a project.  Of course I couldnt say no, so I had to stop trying around 11am.  Got put on the project though, at least my job is safe for another day!

Another "e", coming right up....

[Beeeej]

You're very kind.  :-)

[Killer]

I'd already blown off someone else's meeting at 10:00 to start calling.  Never figured that after an hour I still wouldn't have gotten through, so I didn't really think the 11:00 meeting was an issue.  Next year...no meetings on my calendar for that day!

Also got 4 SR tickets. $44

Hmm...Judging what I'm reading here, the H ticket office did a fine job, considering the demand.  All accounts say they were professional and polite despite being swamped.  I think by now, they know this is coming.  This is in contrast to hijinx in the past such as blocking the 607 area code, and forcing/extorting people into a 4-game package.

The only complaint seems to be that they decided to forgo putting the online ordering system live (as previously advertised) in order to service the in-person and phone orders first.  I can't blame them, but next time they should note that phone & window orders will happen prior to online ticketing.

Just got two standing room tickets yay! :-D (1st time going to Hahvahd)

[Winnabago]

Just got a return fax from the office - they did get me two SRO tickets - turns out ordering by fax kinda worked after all.  Mike over there was very nice, exceptionally nice actually.  He said I would have gotten seats if their fax machine was closer to their desks and they saw it sooner.

Just wanted to report back to everyone.  The phone never worked for me, calling between meetings this morning.  I did speak to them and they were joking about going to a lottery for us next year.

Just got 4 SROs from a wonderfully friendly ticket agent.  We must be making it hell for them today, so it was welcome.  I guess they're not all bad over there.  I can't believe it took me graduating to finally make to Lynah East.

Just called in and got SRO tickets.

They said they had 8 left.

I got lucky...I had class all day and just got back:-D

[jaybert]

all gone.  one of my friends just took the lsat 4 SRO about 5 minutes ago

Sounds like a lot of us had pretty much the same experience: frustration getting through, but once we did, we got people who handled our orders in a very friendly, professional way.  And some of us who've been at this for a few years, even got a person on the other end who knew us from the past, asked how we're doing, made a little small talk while processing the order...

So I made one last call at 4:55 and told them I'd take all the remaining tickets...which got a chuckle.  Well, actually I called to let them know that a lot of us felt they'd done a great job on what must have been a pretty trying day for them.  Sounded like they appreciated the call.

Now let's go crush them in February :-)

LGR!!!

Also got 4 x2 (ie 8 tickets) in section 9.

I believe it is next to the Hahvahd band.
oh well.  At least I'm in.
