Especially for Hockey East folks, but anyone interested may chime in:



Just wondering how your schools handle post-season tickets, i.e., Hockey
East tournament at the Fleet, Regionals, Frozen Four.  Does your Athletic
Department oversee distribution/sale of tickets?  Do season ticket holders
get first dibs?  Etc.



If memory serves me correctly, beginning with last year's Hockey East
tournament, UNH fans could not get tickets through UNH for the semifinals
and championship game.  In prior years, we could stand in line at the
Whittemore Center when they went on sale.



At playoff time, UNH season ticket holders get a chance to keep their season
seats for the quarterfinals.  After that, they are totally on their own.
Consequently, my husband and I have been buying our tickets online as soon
as they become available for HE tournament and also for the Regionals, but
plenty of other UNH fans are left out in the cold at this time of year.



Am I mistaken to think that each of the participating schools gets a block
of tickets for the tournament in Boston and/or the Regionals and/or the
Frozen Four?



I am looking for a point of comparison.  Maybe UNH is doing exactly what
every other HE school is doing.  If so, we'll continue to buy our tickets in
the Fall and hope UNH makes it.  But if not, we're thinking of politely
lobbying for change.



Thanks much to anyone who responds!
