Siouxperfan7 Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 If only there was an arena that is within driving distance for 6 of the 8 NCHC schools that holds 10,000+ who hosts hockey in the building all the time!!!! 2 Quote

The tourney is a disgrace to one of the best hockey leagues in the country. the tickets should be cheap becaus of how big a joke the target center is. I'm curious, how do you thing the tournament could be managed better? As to your last point, tickets this year for General Admission are $45 for all 4 games. At $11.25/game, I'm not sure how much more affordable they could be. EDIT: Being told tickets can be had for $18 a day or $9/game 2 Quote

That would be nice...I'm either scalping for the B1G or just watching at one of the bars. I'm not paying the prices they want for an empty arena. Quote

B1G is a lot higher. $80 for upper level $80 for lower level corners $150 for lower level between the blue lines $180 for club level Edit: Single game tickets for the Championship game start at $40 a piece Quote
Cratter Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 $18 "per session" right now (both games per day). http://www.targetcenter.com/events/nchc/minnhockey Quote

Sioux>Bison Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 If tickets are that cheap now good thing I haven't bought any yet. $18 a day is a great deal compared to last year. I guess that will make up a little for have to sit in that dump. 1 Quote

Fetch Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 shows what they know about Hockey - it's not football where maybe lower 50 yard line tickets seem good 2 Quote

Apparently they want the lower level to look a little more respectable. Quote
