but just in case no one has....

 From today's St. Paul Pioneer Press, Gregg Wong's hockey column:

True-blue reward: Tickets for the 2002 Frozen Four probably will go
on sale in mid to late March, Hansen said.

Starting with the 2002 tournament, the NCAA will reward longtime
Frozen Four attendees. Ticket lists from the past five Frozen Fours
are being analyzed to determine fans who have attended every year.

``There's a core group of about 4,500 people who go every year,''
Hansen said, ``and the NCAA feels it hasn't rewarded them. So they
will get the first shot at tickets.''
