No no, not bus tickets, haven't checked those yet. Was checking for tickets to the game lol. Bigredtix said they'd put them up today at noon...

Could try ticketmaster but I've never done that before. Scary LOL

Loads of tickets

Safe? Where are y'all gonna be sitting? What's the strategy here?

you can place a Cornell section filter on the search. I'm in 224

I've gotten tix walk-up last few years, unless really care where sitting this game Red Hot Hockey or Frozen Apple doesn't sell out anymore def don't have to buy this early...

and don't worry about safe come on everybody's an asshole but nobody takes a swing

You can buy MSG tix thru Cornell via bigredtix.com, which shows
16 different Cornell sections at a range of prices.

10th anniversary of Red Hot Hockey officially confirmed:

Buses from Ithaca to New York... buses from New York to Ithaca... how does the Cornell contingent usually get to Red Hot?

The Campus to Campus bus service has daily bus service between Cornell and New York City. You can walk to MSG from the Cornell Club drop-off site.

Hmmm. So take the bus probably Thursday, maybe Friday, find a hotel until Sunday, and bus back seems like the play, right?

Assuming you don't have a friend in the NYC area with a couch.

Does the bus run on Thanksgiving?

I do not. No idea.

Also, any idea which side we shoot twice on? Squinting at ticketmaster and if it's $60 for the 200s and $85 for the 100s...

An hour before the Nov 2023 game I bought a ticket on the glass. It won’t sell out after so many. The ushers are mostly uncaring where you sit/wander. (They mainly make sure people don’t enter aisles during play.) it is extremely low-key after the entry metal detectors.

In short, no reason to worry about tickets at this point. Transit on Thanksgiving weekend is more worth the focus.

Alright, if you say so haha... BU friend has probably scared me with talk about reselling Beanpot tickets for way more than they're worth. (And he's trumping up watching Yegorov for cheap to our Devils group. That's always a bit of a wildcard. I know Eiserman's also a top Isles prospect.)

I don't know if anything's being sponsored to get down to NYC - I think an LLM friend of mine did the Frozen Apple last year (I couldn't, was off in GVA for a conference), but I don't know if he took a bus or drove or what. Looks like OurBus has cheap tickets right now. I'll check their cancellation policy in a minute. And try to figure out a cheap hotel. If there is one in NYC...

Hotels in Manhattan are expensive Thanksgiving weekend. I usually book in the spring and still wind up around $300/night. Occasionally hotels near Wall Street are cheaper, but I have no interest in staying down there.

My strategy is to book a rate I’m comfortable with a flexible cancellation rate and then keep checking. I think in the past I’ve saved anywhere from $25-$50 a night by keeping an eye on rates over the summer and fall.

See, the annoying thing is theoretically I could just crash at my parents' house in NJ. Except I can't, because I don't need them knowing about this.

I'm seeing hostel-type arrangements for $60ish a night in Queens and there's a few spots that're like $120 a night only a few blocks away from MSG. But each has its asterisks...

As someone who didn't go to the Lake Placid 1980 Winter Olympics with some fraternity brothers because my parents said I was in school to study not go to the Olympics, all I can say is if you want to go, don't pass on the opportunity.

Oh yeah. My fraternity brothers were at the gold medal game at the Miracle On Ice.

Check out NJ hotels that you can jump on the Path to get to
Usually cheaper

So if rooms were $150 a night people would be fine with the cost but $300 is too much?

I get a 7 day vacation it adding up but to quibble about $150 for 2 day thing?

Staying in Toledo was about $250 for the hockey NCAA.

Could always combine it with the Turkey Trot Half Marathon if you're feeling adventurous and need another excuse for the trip. Queens can be quite lovely that time of year, and the hockey game is always a blast.

It'd be probably the only time I do an MSG game, ever. Plus I'll get to see a Devils prospect in the other net. Plus unfortunately I have BU friends (as well as Devils friends) and might be able to meet up with them. I think factoring all that in makes it worth it. Also I don't celebrate Thanksgiving so that's a wash.

It's only worth it if you're from the city or the island. But if you're from the city or the island you're an asshole* anyway so F.U.

_{* I am from the island, which supports this theory.}

Run a half day after Thanksgiving? Lol no thanks - been to every Red Hot & Frozen Apple since started except think 2/3 times, get yourselves to the Garden to cheer for the Red!
