I send an email to the box office offering the following: we would buy our 2 season tickets, but we will not attend in person due to Covid and our risk level. In exchange they can offer in person capability to 2 other people instead of us. We ask, in return, to keep our seats for 2021-22 (ie same seats) and we get online access to home and away games (home is already free). Their reply (unsigned) was telling us they understand our need to stay away and our season ticket location will remain the same for 2021-22. So we will stay home, subscribe to ESPN+ or whatever the channel is and watch that or RPITV. And plop our butts back in Section 6 next year. Their loss.( $400-$30=$370. )

Some trivia about the team. https://rpiathletics.com/news/2020/1...-revealed.aspx
E.g. Cory Babichuk billeted with former RPI player Todd Hilditch.

Realistically, however, RPI athletics is nowhere near staffed enough to take on the running of a ticket exchange nor would there be enough volume to justify contracting the likes of a Stub Hub.
That stuff is for the big time and some very distant relatives from the Memphis area who are Ole Miss football fans and season ticket holders (who I just recently met for the first time ever). Whenever they can't make it (almost never) or need additional tickets for visitors (hopefully me next year), they end up dealing with Stub Hub directly from the schools' athletic web site.
A quick check just moments ago have tickets for this Saturdays game against Alabama going for $80 to $285 and two weeks from now against Auburn going for $120 to $360.
Have no idea why Auburn is worth more than Alabama but it sounds like we could all make some serious money if we lived in SEC country.

As expected, no players associated with RPI were selected in the NHL draft. Players that will be eligible for the 2021 NHL draft are: Dylan Davies, Altti Nykanen, Hunter McDonald, Xander Babich, Finn Brown, Eric Fawkes, Max Itagaki, Reid Leibold and Payton Robinson

The larger issue is that there is has been no need for a secondary market for RPI hockey tickets in recent years. Plentiful good seats are available for every game.Last edited by DavidNardolillo; 10-08-2020, 08:18 AM.

The post said that the ECAC would be divided into a New York Division and a New England Division (NJ is in NE. :-) ), and each team would play the other 5 in its Division 4 times, consisting of two home and home weekends. There would be no meeting of the two Divisions until the tourney final. Thus we would play 2 home and home series with Union, Clarkson, SLU, Cornell, and Colgate. The idea was to reduce travel and eliminate overnight stays.
A later post said that this was not yet approved.

So the idea is that one weekend RPI would go up north to play St. Lawrence on a Friday and then come back to Troy to play St. Lawrence again the following night - and do the same with Clarkson on another weekend - and then do both of those again on two more weekends, maybe with those two teams coming to Troy on Friday and RPI going back north on Saturday?
Your idea would make a lot more sense to me, too.
