Re: plattsburgh State ticket sales
Originally posted by hey now View PostI couldn't agree with you more. You can't expect everybody to purchase a season ticket. This business of making the "general public" portion of "the best fans in DIII" stand in massive lines like cattle is nothing short of **** poor management. Evidently, AD Delventhal et al derive some sort of satisfaction from making the peasants stand and wait for the privilege to attend. Well, its a DIII hockey game, not an unemployment line. Hopefully the NCAA has some sort of clause that mandates advanced ticket sales and override's this buffoon's disdain for the non season ticket fan.
Today, we got in line at 2pm. We were just around the corner in front of the office. By the time we got to the window, there were only rail seats. How did so many seats get sold that quickly?

Re: plattsburgh State ticket sales
Originally posted by kbail33 View PostSo, here is what annoys me. I have watched Plattsburgh State hockey since I was in 4th grade. I am an alumni of Plattsburgh State. Unfortunately, I live 2 hours away. So, I can call in to other SUNY schools and get tickets reserved, but Plattsburgh makes you come and stand in line hoping to get a ticket. I have emailed Delventhal about how rediculous this is. His reponse "we tried it once and it just doesn't work for us". Hmmm other SUNY schools can figure it out. Why can't Plattsburgh?? We travel to Middlebury, Skidmore, Oswego and other schools to watch Plattsburgh play.

Re: plattsburgh State ticket sales
I agree with some of your comment but must tell you we had gone to Geneseo for the semi's and got there at 5:30 and they didn't even have anything set up. They came in with a folding table at 6: 00 and then had to go get tickets. They told us they do not sell any tickets before 6:00 for any game even SUNYAC playoffs. The weekend of the Buff. State/Fredonia trip, it was the same. We were at the Buff. game on Friday and received a handout at the game telling us that there would be a firstcome first serve sale of tickets the next night at Fredonia and we should get there by 5ish because they were having a Pink the Rink and there would be 1000 tickets for the students so we would get turned away once the rink was full. So, we got there early too. The reason I'm saying this, is because the ticket policy is not so good at alot of places. I agree, Oswego has the best and Middlebury does also. There certainly is room for improvement all around as we see it in our many travels.

The divine perception of the Norwich ticketing process (which I agree was/is first class) was tarnished.2007-2008 ECAC East/NESCAC Interlock Pick 'em winner

Re: plattsburgh State ticket sales
Originally posted by Birds View PostYes indeed they do sell plenty of tickets when Plattsburgh is there. The rink at Fredonia was full this year and also many students attended at Geneseo. Have you been there lately? I believe we did not have to go to Norwich this year so I made NO comment concerning them. Oswego mailed our tickets to us for the regular season game which we thought was very accomodating.Larry Normandin

Re: plattsburgh State ticket sales
Originally posted by dmac1103 View PostThat would be the solution but I tried to get season tickets for the past couple of years only to be told they were sold out for season tickets. I was first in line for Oswego waited from 9am until 5:30 with my wife and while there talked to a few fans who said that they know friends of family members had season tickets but didn't even live in NY or lived 5-6 hours from Plattsburgh and only came to the Oswego game. They kept their tickets just to make sure that they were able to get in that game. Not sure how that problem could be fixed but they should look for one because that is unfair to fans that want season tickets and live in the area.
