Harvard-Yale Ticket Update

Can you feel it—it’s in the air at Harvard. The epic scenes that will be Harvard-Yale weekend quickly approach. Did you get your ticket?

According to Kurt K. Svoboda, the assistant director of athletics, over 5,000 undergrads claimed their free ticket that were distributed at the Murr Center, as well as various dining halls last week. That number was a significant increase over the 2008 game. The feedback from students was “extremely positive,” said Svoboda in an e-mailed statement. “Many were impressed at how little time it took to obtain their tickets.”

“The strong turnout speaks for itself as a successful venture. We look forward to everyone enjoying The Game on Nov. 20 and taking part in the history and pageantry of this great sports rivalry,” said Svoboda.

The tickets are anticipated to sell out by next weekend, so if you were one of the unlucky students who missed the deadline for the complimentary tickets, a limited number will be available for purchase at the athletic ticket office on a first-come, first-serve basis.
