<p>Is anybody willing to sell their season tickets to me?</p>
<p>Man, I should have gone tonight just to sell off the tickets and make some cash...I hear it was INSANE down by Lynah though.</p>
<p>it was, at least 2 students were treated by EMS and/or hospitalized. The police had to form a human wall. If you got there a few minutes **before **the official announcement you ended up with a line number over 1000 out of 1462. I ran to the line at lynah from floor 3 of dickson on north campus in oversized jeans with no belt in the wet in 7-8 minutes. I beat my friends who drove. Neither they nor I got tickets.</p>
<p>I am number 75-85 on the waiting list by my estimate. That means I need 4.5-5.1% of the line numbers to be invalidated. Unlikely :(</p>
<p>getting hockey tickets is one gigantic psychological experiment being used as a case study of game theory</p>
<p>it was absolute ********. I got there with my girlfriend (who recently suffered a very painful ankle injury), we both ran even though she was in pain, and we were 5 feet away from the steps of lynah, a good spot. The moron police kept on pushing us in the middle back ... this caused everybody trying to sneak in from the side to take our original spots. While we were running there, my gf called her friend (who is her neighbor all the way in the f-ing town houses) and told her they announced the location. She arrived 6 minutes after we did, but went towards the side of the crowd. Needless to say, she got a ticket. My girlfriend got crushed as people kept on stepping on her ankle and I had to carry her back most of the way back to the townhouses (and I live on west campus). </p>
<p>I would have rather waited in line for 3 days, sure would have given all of those who really were ready to do anything a chance to get tickets rather than those who happened to be in the right spot at the right time.</p>
<p>i could have gotten a ticket I think. I got out of class (the MVR) right when they announced it, when I was on my way back, back towards olin library, i heard some guy said, tickets just announced! and saw mad people rushing towards lynah. oh well. I'm waiting until next year. too much crap going on this year to really be able to go to most of the games. But, since I'm only doing honors thesis and finish up some abberant requirements to graduate, should have more time on friday and saturday nights to attend games. Good luck guys, section B is a good spot! (A is probably too close, and you're next to the band, but hey, if you're hardcore, why not?)</p>
<p>I wish I was more hardcore. but</p>
<p>:-) go big red.</p>
<p>wow...didn't know hockey was such an attraction.. i know cornell ice hockey owns and the lynah is where every other hocky team goes to get destroyed.. but didn't know it was such high demand. :) nice to know</p>
<p>Yeah, I heard about the townhouse people who got tickets too! And there was at least one guy from Dickson 5th floor who got a ticket running there from Dickson.</p>
<p>This was the first year they tried this method, so I wonder if they'll change it again for nexy year.</p>
<p>they better....</p>
<p>or at least have it so a line can be formed single-file. the "everybody pile in at the door and we'll let people in one-by-one" system didnt work. </p>
<p>I'd prefer the wait in line for 3 days method. At least it ensures that those who are willing to do whatever to get tickets actually get tickets, rather than those who happened to be there at the right place at the right time (and it also helps out those who got into accidents and couldnt run to full capacity).</p>
<p>I was so *<strong><em>ed about hockey tickets last night. I was below the stairs, and got there before about 200 people after me, but these a$$holes decided to cover the sides, and then the police kept saying move back, and we were in the middle, and the group near me was so *</em></strong>ed b/c they weren't making the line cutters on the side move anywhere. Then a girl faints a little bit in front of me, so my good spot where I probably would have gotten a ticket moves, is getting moved by the police over to behind the people on the side who cut in line. It was horrible, there was no order or anything. I'm just going to go this year on a game by game basis, and camp out by the rink next year, this way I'll be very close to whereever they announce it.</p>
<p>I am very disappointed with how this is set up, and like gomestar said I would prefer a 3 day camp out, this way the people that truly want a ticket, and not the people that said "oh well i'm here, might as well get one", get a ticket. And if not camping out, how about a roped off line, so there is none of this crowding ********</p>
<p>I'm number 1355...I should have been much higher, but morons were sneaking in from the sides and crushing me. It was messed up being a pretty small girl in that mob of people, but fun, in an I'm going to die kind of way. Most of the people I was with at Uris hall ran faster than me (half didn't get tickets), but I was able to squeeze through the mob pretty successfully. I won't be using most of my tickets, if you want crappy seats. I just want to go to the big games, but you probably do too, so I doubt I can help much.</p>
<p>Considering the Cornell hockey rush was analogous to a soccer riot, I don't think they'll be doing things this way next year.</p>
<p>Spanks - as a huge hockey fan in general, i'd be more than willing to buy the tickets you dont want to use off of you. I want to be at every possible game i can, it's tough after recently quitting hockey after 13 years of playing to be screwed out of my team's tickets like this. Drop me an email, (dpo4 is my netid) and we can arrange somethign sometime if you're willing.</p>
<p>oh, and as a quick update...</p>
<p>so far i've heard of 4 cases of people fainting/passing out cold due to crowd crush and one girl broke her leg in the mix. </p>
<p>...that is the unofficial cornell hockey ticket injury report for the time. Also, i really hope that the injuries in the line to get tickets doesn't outnumber the number of injuries sustained by the players in all of the games. Might happen!</p>
<p>Crazy Cornellians...I didn't hear about leg breaking, that's nuts. Some girl sat on me, lol, but then I called her a bunch of obscenities and elbowed her off me when she wouldn't move. I later was forced to kick her in the knees when she tried to inch her leg up behind me (I don't think I need to elaborate), it was not pleasant. Gomestar, I'll e-mail you some time after my super-fun math prelim tonight, I definitely don't plan on going to every game.</p>
<p>might i ask what prelim it is? I have ILR stats 212....</p>
<p>Math 112 :p, basically Calc BC but harder because it's taught by Cornell</p>
<p>why of course! Sounds like a weeder class</p>
