How Do I Join the Priority List?

[baril4244]

How do I start buying NCAA Frozen Four tickets to gain priority points? I am new to hockey, but I have a feeling it will be a lifetime hobby.
Do I need to have current season tickets at an arena (I am currently a season ticket holder at the Ralph Englestad Arena for the Fighting Sioux), or is anyone able to start purchasing Frozen Four tickets?

I am just trying to plan for next year, in case I am not lucky enough to stubble upon some great seats on the USCHO website again!

Miche,

The NC$$ conducts a lottery shortly after the FF for the upcoming FF. You have to fill out a ticket application, pay in advance and wait to see if you are drawn in the lottery. Some people are lucky and get drawn with the first application and others have to apply for years before they get lucky. Once you get drawn for tickets you get a priority number. You'll use this number every year as you buy your tickets year after year and your priority number goes up with every purchase.

Hope that is what you are looking for...good luck!

Do you know where I would find such application? Also, how long before I would find out if I was chosen or not? Right away or just weeks before the final four in Tampa? The reason I ask is that I want to know what happens with the money if I have to wait a full year to find out (and what happens to your money if you are not chosen)?

Thanks so much for your quick response!

Hey Miche,

The application is posted as a link from the NC$$ website. Typically in April/May running thorough the end of June. You pay upfront and you get notified around August/September. The NC$$ keeps your money for quite awhile even if you are not selected. You'll eventually get it back but its not a speedy process. On a postive note the Tampa FF is not expected to be a huge ticket draw so this could be a great time to get your foot in the door.

Good luck!

I just joined the priority list. I thought of a few worse places I could be in April than Tampa, Florida. Plus Pittsburgh and Philly are a cheap Southwest flight away! I will keep my fingers crossed until we hear!

Thanks for all of the information everyone. Gotta love these boards.
