I just purchased my Western Regional Tickets today.  At this point, there is
very little lower bowl availability.  Actually, there are only tickets in four corner
sections, all the way down to the ice, but there isn't a single other ticket
anywhere else in the lower bowl.  This seems a little odd unless you assume
that the NCAA has reserved most of the lower bowl section.  Ticketmaster
couldn't say but was aware that they do that.  For the finals in Boston I was
told explictly by the FleetCenter what the NCAA had reserved, basically the
lower bowl.

The seats in the upper bowl are starting to go but there are still tickets
available between the blue lines.  The Ticketmaster take on this is $6.50
"convenience fee" (certainly not my convenience) per ticket and $2.00
handling per order.
