The just completed D-III Phrozen Phour - $30.  Don't know how much Lake 
Placid will be for the next 2 years.

And Bill - wasn't there a 2 tier pricing for the Fleet Center in 1998??  I 
think the upper rows of the upper deck were $75.

Subject: Ticket Price Inflation

With the 2011 FF tickets now in hand and the tournament set to begin in less 
than two weeks, I thought you might be interested to see the historical 
record of ticket price inflation for the Frozen Four that has taken place 
during my attendance run.  Here's my annual report:

1976        $13.50      (D. U. Arena, Denver)

1980        $24.00      (Providence Civic Center)
[This was the 1st time there was a
price difference between the
semifinals ($6 each), conso ($5) and
the championship game ($7) tickets]

1982        $25.00      (Providence Civic Center)
[semis: $6 each; conso: $5; champ: $8]

1986        $36.00      (Providence Civic Center)

1988        $33.00      (Olympic Center, Lake Placid)

1991        $75.00      (St. Paul Civic Center)

1993        $60.00      (Bradley Center, Milwaukee)

1995        $75.00      (Providence Civic Center)

1996        $69.50      (Cincinnati Riverfront Coliseum)
[semis: $22 each; champ: $25.50]

1997        $75.00      (Bradley Center, Milwaukee)

1998        $90.00      (FleetCenter, Boston)  [semis: $25 each; champ: $40]

1999        $90.00      (Arrowhead Pond, Anaheim)  [semis: $27.50 each; 
champ: $35]

2000      $110.00      (Providence Civic Center) [semis: $35 each; champ: 
$40

2001        $85.00      (Pepsi Arena, Albany)  [semis: $25 each; champ: $35]

2002      $124.50      (Xcel Energy Center, St. Paul)

2003      $120.00      (HSBC Arena, Buffalo)

2004      $135.00      (FleetCenter, Boston)

2005      $147.00      (Shottenstein Center, Columbus)

2006      $150.00      (Bradley Center, Milwaukee)

2007      $155.00      (Scottrade Center, St. Louis)

2008      $164.00      (Pepsi Center, Denver)

2009      $177.00      (Verizon Center, Washington, DC)

2010      $189.00/     (Ford Field, Detroit)
      $170.00/$119.00/$79.00/$40.00

2011      $195.00      (Xcel Energy Center, St. Paul)

2012        ???        (St. Pete Times Forum, Tampa)

Still, everything considered, compared to NC$$ FF roundball (not to mention 
BC$ oblongball) tickets, it's difficult to claim that we don't enjoy bargain 
prices for our three-game national championship series
