Yup, BC is $10 with the season ticket package. Don't know the price at the door.'Eavesdropped the BC forum in USCHO. A range of intellects over there. Mostly gentlemen, but a couple of coarse imbeciles' - academic_index, a Brown fan

Re: Wonder why hockey east attendance is down at 15$ a whack ?????
Over 5,000 people at Lowell last night had no problem with what was actually an $18 ticket cost at Tsongas (usually $15 for regular season games) and there was a $5 off coupon and online special so the cost was actually $13 which I'm sure many took advantage of. Perhaps your athletic marketing folks should come up with some options. Plus student services bought all the student tickets so students were still free with their ID like a regular season game. Lowell had no problem with attendance except for scheduling a game on Thursday night which had below-season average attendance but ticket cost wasn't an issue at all.Last edited by riverchief1; 03-16-2013, 08:47 AM.Hockey East Tournament Champions - 2013, 2014, 2017

JFC.......you guys are lucky. I'm just saying.Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

The mention of the promo Lowell had is big too. Again Providence knew they were up against big competition. 8600 went to the PBruins who have a $5 off Friday night promo and they were competing with the state's top playoff series. To compete you do need to promote. They seemed content to have probably the best student crowd of the year make it look 3/4 full.Let's Go Pirates!

However, a MN-UND F5 game will command close to triple digits for a ticket. If UAA miracles their arse to a series win (WHICH THEY WON'T I'M JUST SAYING), and UND-MN the title game? THEN you might see the $200+ price be reached.
Edit: for you eastern fans, a Final 5 ticket, face value for the whole tourney, is $165 for 5 games.Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

But at least we don't have to walk around knowing that we're Rodent fans and the rest of the college hockey universe wants us dead.
In all seriousness, with the attendance of the Hockey East QF's always far lower than the regular season, why make the games less desirable?

It is fun to get into games at Bentley, Brown, and PC fairly inexpensively. At least compared to what they charge at BU. The "we refuse to watch/care about non-professional sports" attitude in parts of the NE is sickening...

Again, there were 5,399 at Lowell last night for quarter final with students on break, only "best available" tickets were being sold in lobby, and cost not an issue at all.Last edited by riverchief1; 03-16-2013, 09:43 AM.Hockey East Tournament Champions - 2013, 2014, 2017
