How keeping track of how many students wait until game time to get a
     ticket and then only keep out that many until game time.  The rest of
     the unsold tickets could then be released to the general public when:
 
        1. The ticket office is still open so that a ticket can be
     purchased over the telephone (which is likely to save a drive to Orono
     for nothing) and,
 
        2. There is still time to drive to Orono and have time to park and
     make it to the game.
 
     Holding out ALL of the tickets until game time is just a bit
     ridiculous and will cause there to be significant empty seats.

How about a return to the ticket policy of old? Save all 1,500 ticket
for student distribution, EXCEPT start selling them to the general
public one hour prior to the game. It is my understanding the way this
used to work was the tickets reserved for the students were available to
the student body starting the Monday morning prior to the game. All they
did was show their Sports Pass and they got an actual ticket (one with a
Section, Row and Seat number. Not a rush seat ). Then, on the day of the
game, the general public could buy any ticket (up to four) that hasn't
been claimed by a student. If, at the last moment, a student wanted to
go to the game and there were still tickets available they would show
there pass and get the ticket.

                Here is another idea..
 
                Let's build a new rink, that will take care of the
waiting list and the
                general public!
 
                Besides, we need to reclaim the lead in Hockey East
attendence!
