Bryn Mawr Eagle {l Wrote}:The Frozen Four is in Philadelphia this season. I have the chance to buy club box seats for all three games for $343 apice. Anyone know whether this is a good deal? My sense is that it is not and I should wait to see whether BC makes it and then I can buy two seats on stubhub. I have never been to the Frozen Four, and to be honest, I probably would not go if BC doesn't make it - I'd just try to sell the tickets on stubhub or something. Does anyone have experience buying or selling tix for this event? Are many availabe for the games on the ticket web sites close to the event? How much have you had to spend to buy tickets at the last minute (I know this will vary depending on the location and the teams that make it; but I'm just looking for a ballpark)?
I guess my question really is: what is the best (and most cost-effective) way to but tix to the Frozen Four for someone who will only go if their team makes the tournament? Thanks.
PhillyandBCEagles {l Wrote}:I bought tickets to just the final on the day of/before the game in '10 and '12, paid well under $100 both times (Detroit could've been dicey if Michigan or MSU had made it, but luckily they didn't). There aren't really any local teams in Philly (unless PSU somehow makes it) so you're probably OK holding off, which is what I plan to do. A realistic "perfect storm" in terms of ticket demand would probably be something like BC, Michigan, and any two of UNH/BU/Maine/MSU/Notre Dame (those schools don't travel as well as NorDak/Minnesota/Wisconsin, but have more Philly- and NYC-area alums and other than ND are within driving distance).

I've only heard good things about Tampa hosing the Frozen Four. I may try to make it down that year.

I am fairly certain that I have been in the Mons contemporaneously with Justin and not known it

I feel like all the people griping about Tampa's frozen four selection were not actually there in 2012. While I will admit the end result ensured great memories, I was having a spectacular time before the puck dropped in beatdown of the gophers.
You fly down from the shit weather in the northeast and go hang out on the beach for a long weekend. It is also just really impressive how well the Tampa Sports commission does promoting the event around town. It is the main event of the weekend and all of the local businesses do an amazing job of supporting it.

I've heard in the past that Boston has been passed over because of issues with BU hosting. Gentleman's agreement was BC would host any NCAA mens' hoops, BU hosting hockey. From the sound of it, Hockey East is hosting next year, without BU's assistance.
