Weekend Not Yet a Sellout

[ithacat]

Tickets still available at the Ticket Office. Student season tickets are also still available, from what I heard.

Consective seats available at center ice -- and there's still people on a waiting list? Are these scattered comp seats?

LGR...

Us alums are so impressed by the quality of the Web video and gametracker that there's simply no need anymore to drive to Ithaca and see the game in person.

Plus, no matter how old, the night before going back to Ithaca, we all have the same nightmare: Passing the traffic booth, campus security will run the car's license plate and we'll be stopped for a) unpaid tickets and b) a reminder there's still an American Government paper due.

looks like the end is near...

There were three or four games last season that they definitely didn't sell out but they reported that it did.  Same with the year before.

Tonight is a big night for Math prelims, so there'll be a lot of empty seats in the student section, regardless. I honestly don't know how to explain the fact that season tickets are still available, except that maybe the increase in price has driven some facetimer-types away.

By now, I think every single number has been taken off the waiting list.  Making it so much easier to get numbers this year resulted in far less people actaully going through with the process of getting them.  There were a lot more invalidated numbers this year than in the past.

That didn't sell out, or that didn't fill the seats in the arena?  There's a difference.

Of interest, ithacat is right in that the student ticket allotment did not sell out.  While I was picking up tickets today and ran into one of the ticket office gurus they said that they still had reams of student tickets that were not sold.  I was shocked and then tried to convince him that I was still a student...no such luck

[ithacat]

And there's still a waiting list for (full-priced) season tickets.::doh::

Perhaps, I should say it one more time...::panic::

Billhoward,

You know that happened to me.. I was told I had an unpaid parking ticket in Ithaca a whopping 5 years after I had graduated and moved away. At least I didn't have a government paper due....

OK, I'm totally lost....is there an allotment of student tickets for each game that are not season tickets or did the student season tickets not sell out???

[billhoward]

When Ed Marinaro [football, class of '72] came back for a 10th or 15the reunon, he reportedly had unpaid tickets ... and an alum paid them for him. So legend has it. Actually, the Ithaca Journal may have noted it, too.

The student season tickets did not sell out.

81-game soldout streak is dead.  A damn shame.

Yup.  If you're going to schedule a non-conference game against a weak and unknown opponent on a weekday night and charge $18 for the tickets, expect to have tickets left.
