The 2009 Phrozen Phour Ticket prices will not break the $200 per strip mark,
but we're pretty close as the NC$$ mandated the WDC Host committee guarantee
a $2M ticket sales haul for the event.

Subject: NC$$ Ticket Price Inflation
With the 2006 FF tickets now in hand and the tournament set to begin in
two weeks, I thought you might be interested to see the historical record of
ticket price inflation for the Frozen Four that has taken place over the
last 30 years:
1976 $13.50 (D. U. Arena, Denver)
1980 $24.00 (Providence Civic Center)
[This was the 1st time there was a
price difference between the
semifinals ($6 each), conso ($5) and
the championship game ($7) tickets]
1982 $25.00 (Providence Civic Center) [semis: $6 each;
conso: $5; champ: $8]
1986 $36.00 (Providence Civic Center)
1988 $33.00 (Olympic Center, Lake Placid)
1991 $75.00 (St. Paul Civic Center)
1993 $60.00 (Bradley Center, Milwaukee)
1995 $75.00 (Providence Civic Center)
1996 $69.50 (Cincinnati Riverfront Coliseum)
[semis: $22 each; champ: $25.50]
1997 $75.00 (Bradley Center, Milwaukee)
1998 $90.00 (FleetCenter, Boston) [semis: $25 each;
champ: $40]
1999 $90.00 (Arrowhead Pond, Anaheim) [semis: $27.50 each;
champ: $35]
2000 $110.00 (Providence Civic Center) [semis: $35 each;
champ: $40]
2001 $85.00 (Pepsi Arena, Albany) [semis: $25 each;
champ: $35]
2002 $124.50 (Excel Energy Center, St. Paul)
2003 $120.00 (HSBC Arena, Buffalo)
2004 $135.00 (FleetCenter, Boston)
2005 $147.00 (Shottenstein Center, Columbus)
2006 $150.00 (Bradley Center, Milwaukee)
2007 ??? (Savvis Center, St. Louis)
Still, everything considered, compared to NC$$ 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 finals.
