James - Most Frozen Four venues are sold out, often well ahead of time. Exceptions were last year (80-90% full and a few years ago when they tried Ford Field in Detroit (indoor football stadium in a ghost-town). They normally play in an NHL rink with 18-20,000 capacity. They've kept the price at about $200 for a few years, just this year raising the cost of lower bowl tickets about $30 (15%) for the set of 3 games. Perhaps you are thinking of the NCAA Regional site games? They are often sparsely attended. That said, there are a hundred or two Maine jerseys at every Frozen Four even when Maine is not, and many hundred when Maine plays. With the economic downturn, the NCAA has changed from selling a chance for tickets in April to an online pick-your-seats more or less in October and has added an online facility to buy-sell tickets. Both more friendly to patrons and the latter eliminates scalping for those that know about the facility. Still, cost is a strong consideration every year for me. Have you seen Football and Basketball prices? Hockey is not in that league!
