Of note: Students pay less per ticket/per season than youths for GA, but pay more per ticket/per season for reserved and club seats.

That's because they want us all sitting in the GA section they specifically built that section as a place to corral us and separate us from the local families that attend the games.

It's really a great plan. Families can sit where they can feel that their children will be less influenced by the Corner Crew cheers and rants.

Gives me a bad feeling that they lost one, given the date of that tweet makes me think they had a decommitment and they needed to bring Goldberg in early. I noticed Liam Kerins's name moving up on some draft ratings wonder if he decided to take another course...

NHL draft? Considering his age and that he was not drafted last year, then I doubt he's going to get drafted this year. However, you could be correct and he might not come to RIT for whatever his reasons.

It's all in theory, I did see some rankings that had his name near the top of unranked players in the NHL. Also seen some people as their stock rises think the CHL is the way to go. Will have to see, he could have also decided to play another year of Juniors...

His Facebook page still has him attending RIT 2014-18, and as noted above his Twitter profile (on which he's active) still says "Committed to RIT". Obviously lack of a change on social media isn't proof that he hasn't changed his plans, but it still seems odd.

"They can't put anything false on the Internet..." :rolleyes:

To correct a brain cramp that caused another miss signal to my figures. Liam was listed near the top "honorable mention" of players in the OJHL unranked for the NHL draft. And there was an upward trend for him. Here hoping we still seem him...

Can I get a high five from Chris or Ed for saying brain and not Brian??? :D

Super news! if true...

On buying season tickets, I can't believe there is no way to specify what section and row you want. Off to a rocky start...

Can you buy student season tickets online? Last year you couldn't so I hope they fixed that.

Also, since the Homecoming game is included in the seasons this year does it let you buy extra tickets now?

You can't select anything online, it's all best available. Which is really awful even if you don't consider the fact that "Best Available" at 10AM was section 104...

RIT comes out looking pretty bad here, we're a solid 20 years behind on ticket purchasing technology if people have to call the box office manager or attend one of three events in order to pick their seats. Hell, even the homecoming game last year featured a better ticket purchasing experience.

Don't forget, this is the first season selling tickets for the new arena; there isn't a previous year of season ticket sales to use as a starting point. The best way to get the tickets you want is through one-on-one interaction with a ticket agent, just as in most arenas. I say give the people a chance that are running the ticketing operation... it won't kill you to talk to someone. Yes, there is probably software out there that could could do the job better for a start-up arena. However, it is very common to use the "best available" concept... a local example is GEVA theater. Call in or talk to someone in person, get the seats you want, and let's move on. :)

Maybe but RIT already has demonstrated the technology effectively. Last year for homecoming they had an online seat selection option that updated in real time to show available seating and let you select any number. It was actually surprisingly robust and effective.

Flash forward a year, RIT Hockey has known the GPC was being built for longer than that, I don't see any reason or excuse why they wouldn't build that technology into season tickets. Hell, try finding a good seat map on the RIT hockey website! The only one I've found exists only on the site soliciting you to buy a seat for $500-1000 bucks...and that doesn't show seats purchased for season tickets.

I understand "best available" is common, but it's usually one option with the option to select seats also being available online. I have no problem with a best available option, but also the option to select my own seats. I've never seen a professional sporting event with reserved seating not give an online option to pick your seats or, at the very least, your section.

Is everyone buying tickets for games going to have to call Stacy Hirst or come on campus to pick their seats? You can tell the 200 season ticket holders to suck it up...but what about the other 4000 people who don't want to wait a week for a callback? It's a basic functionality that RIT needs if they want to bring in the casual and community crowd.
