Many students waited as long as two hours outside the EMU ticket office for tickets to the
Civil War football game to be held on Nov. 20.
Students fill EMU
to pick up tickets
■ Despite lines of more
than 400 students and two
hour waits, Civil War game
tickets are far from sold out
By Brian Goodell
Oregon Daily Emerald
If classes seemed a little small
Monday morning, blame the Civ
il War.
Students lined the hallways of
the EMU early Monday to ensure
their place at this year’s game
against Oregon State University
By the time tickets went on sale
at 9 a.m., a line of approximately
400 Duck fans wound clear back
to Pizza Planet.
Later in the day, wait time var
ied from 1 1/2 to 2 hours and
crowd estimates were from 400 to
500 people. Rachel Astrella, who
has worked at the EMU Ticket
Office for three years, said yester
day’s line was by far the longest
she has ever seen it.
“There were people in sleeping
bags when I got here in the morn
ing,” Astrella said. “People love
the Civil War. Students who
haven’t gone to any games all sea
son really want to go because it’s
their last chance.”
Although the line was long,
and the wait was even longer, As
trella said there was no way Civil
War tickets could sell out the first
day.
“People get frantic because
they think the game will sell
out,” Astrella said. “There’s no
way we can sell 6,100 tickets in
one day.”
Junior business major Pallavi
Ingle missed class and work to
get her tickets.
“I’d rather be late to work and
have a ticket than not go to Civil
War because I waited to get my
ticket,” Ingle said. “I figure the
lines are going to be just as bad to
morrow.”
The first students to get their
tickets were sprawled out on the
floor in sleeping bags and paja
mas.
“More power to them,” Ingle „
said. “I think it’s awesome if they
really want to go that bad.”
As the day progressed, the line
grew larger as students realized
they might not get a ticket for the
game. Senior business major
Tony Fox skipped two classes to
reserve his spot at Civil War.
“It’s better to do it today,” Fox
said. “I want to be on the safe
side.”
Fox said it was the biggest line
he had ever seen for student tick
ets.
“It’s been an exciting year with
a lot of close finishes,” Fox said.
“Both teams will have bowl
games on the line, so the atmos
phere will be more intense than
it’s ever been before.”
Kourtney Hamilton, a junior
majoring in exercise and move
ment science, spent an hour and
45 minutes in line for her Civil
War tickets. Hamilton said her
wait was well worth it, even
though she missed her biology
and chemistry classes for it.
“At least I’m not missing class
because I’m hung over from Hal
loween,” Hamilton said. *
Tickets for the Washington
State game this weekend were **
not available at the EMU location
Monday, but could be purchased
at the Casanova Center at Autzen
Stadium. WSU tickets went back
on sale at the EMU this morning.
