yes.  free with a $50 sports sticker, $6 without the sticker but with bu
id.

i am a season ticket holder, and i was mailed a letter (which i had
thrown out, so i'm really not sure *exactly* what it said) telling about
the hockey east playoffs.  my recollection was that the quarterfinal
tickets were sold as a three-game package (friday, saturday and sunday),
although i could be wrong.  i myself would have loved to go, but i
wasn't going to pay for two games i couldn't attend (since the dorms
were closed for the break and only reopened on sunday morning).
obviously, i found the package policy and prices unfair for those of us
who weren't staying in the boston area.  not to mention that the
unfortunate low attendance gives the hostile anti-bu contingent on the
uscho message boards fodder for saying that the students don't care
about hockey (which is *definitely* not the case).
 
keep the faith -- go terriers!
