Local Kids Get Cut-Rate Tickets

At the Cornell game this Saturday, some of those in the stands will not have paid the regular steep prices to see the Crimson play.

These few will have taken advantage of a Harvard program through which youth groups may receive tickets to those football games where sellout crowds are not expected.

The total number of tickets sold in this fashion varies anywhere from five to forty per game. In the past, the program has sponsored many groups from the Philips Brooks House as well as untold numbers of local cub scout packs.
