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.
