Reminder - Hockey Ticket Preregistration

[MINIteam8s]

Is 1600 the magic number for total number of student tickets available --> grads+sr+rest of undergrads?

[Omie]

Yes, theres 1400 undergrads and 200 grads, of the 1400 undegrads 150 are strictly for seniors.

As of 3pm today there had been 884 undegrads ilns picked up, of which 340 were seniors. So with 150 seniors ilns that meant that by 3pm only 734 of 1250 undegrads had been picked up.

# must be higher now. also tomorrow is the last day to register online.

I went at 12:30pm today and got number 756.  This is a little odd because my friend got number 763 on Friday afternoon.  Also, the two people after me got 753 and 754 (What happened to 755?).

Any of you have any idea about what this might mean?

Someone screwed up :-P

Hank Aaron called to claim it before Barry Bonds could steal it from him.

When is the last day to pick up the tickets at the athletic office?

As of close to 5, senior line numbers were up to 450's and general were well into the 1300's.

This either says that the line (and the facetimers it attracted) was the problem, or that the level of publicity was (people have said that the Sun didn't really publicize it this year).

My feeling it its maybe more of the latter - and that if Cornell just announced and easy line procedure in, say, May, and may no more of big deal out of it, and the Sun agreed to refrain from mentioning it in the fall, then it'd work out much more like this. But then again maybe that's just what I'd like to believe.

There's also the issue of people having another person grab a second number for them, sufficiently far away from their first number that they're nearly guaranteed to have one number chosen.

This didn't even cross my mind until I heard about someone who did this.

I thought of this strategy a couple weeks ago, but decided it would be very disingenuous.  Whoever does this is not a hardcore fan, they are an asshole.  Still though, Athletics' system should have had some way to get around this.

I think one way to reduce this is make everyone with a line number actually wait in line (no holding four) and also display their Cornell ID (matching the line number). It would take a really good friend to wait all night for tickets and then give them away... it'll happen, but to less of an extent.

For example, the President telling kids who know squat about the team to wait in line didn't help.  It seems like this definitely got rid of people who didn't care enough to actually find out what the line deal this year was, instead of having the information constantly bombarding them.

How bad (good) is it ... Final Preregistration Numbers?

Undergrads (1250 available) =?
Seniors (150 available) =?
Grads (200 available) =?

[scannon]

there are in fact 1400 line nos. availible for undergrads because the seniors get to have 2 numbers and then 150 of them are taken out of the pool.
