As someone already noted here, Ticketmaster in Wisconsin was selling only tickets
in section 102 (behind the goal) for the West Regionals.  Could this be what TM
in Mass is doing?  I called the Coliseum ticket office last week and they had
PLENTY of tickets to sell, anywhere in the rink.  In Mondays newspaper they
mentioned that only 1500 tickets of capacity 8500 had been sold.  Of course this
was before the bids came out.  Does the Centrum have a ticket office that one
could call directly if looking for tickets?
