ITHACA, N.Y. — With less than two months remaining before the Men's Hockey season begins, the Cornell Athletic Ticket Office has unveiled the process for students to obtain season tickets.
 
Graduate students and undergraduates who have purchased tickets in the past will be given priority to purchase reserved seat tickets in a prioritized selection process. Purchasing tickets early, within the group in which one is eligible, will entitle a student to an earlier pick of seats during seat selection. The sale and determination of seat selection order will be conducted online at CornellBigRedTickets.com.

First-time buyers (freshmen and students who have not purchased season tickets in the past) had the opportunity to purchase general admission tickets in Student Section E earlier this month, but those tickets are now SOLD OUT. New students and students who have not purchased tickets in the past will have the opportunity to purchase any remaining tickets following the seat selection for returning ticket holders on Friday, Sept. 7.
 
Students may purchase either one or two season tickets apiece. Only students purchasing their own tickets will be considered as a ticketholder during future sales. If you want to be included in the one-, two-, or three-year ticket holder groups in the future, you must purchase tickets in your name.
 
Students wishing to obtain reserved season tickets must do so in advance through a prioritized system as follows:
 
GRADUATE STUDENTS
Tuesday, Sept. 4
- The graduate and professional student sale will begin at a random time from 6-7:30 a.m. and continue until noon on Thursday, Sept. 6.  A block of 250 tickets in sections B and D (nearest the aisles on either side of Section C) are reserved for graduate students.
