Saw the inaugural game! Awesome little town, nice little rink but some years the season ticket holders don't show up as much (but they are perpetually "sold out" so we never really have much of a presence. Most UND fans got their tickets through the alumni association, returned player comps, or by donating money to MU to get preorder access), leaving the student section to do all the cheering. Also, its a dry arena . It can be really fun there, though, everyone from the fans (in the concourse anyway), to the concession/stand workers to the ushers were always super cool. Good to hear! Thanks for the feedback! Thus far, my experiences at road games for UND or CC at such places as Huntsville, Vermont, Duluth, and Omaha have all be quite positive. Looking forward to Miami.

LOL....That's what I love about 'Hawks' fans......they beg to have coaches fired or leave....but can't stop talking about them when they go.

MattC Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Not much for seated tickets for the Gopher Series. All I'm seeing is singles and standing room tickets for Saturday. Disappointing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UofM is gouging fans and I'll wait to see if I can pick up some last second SRO. I remember the last Sioux/Gopher game of the WCHA era and I couldn't even sell my SRO ticket for $30 outside Mariucci.

MattC Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I'm thinking I'll wait and see how the market goes for these tickets. I checked StubHub but the additional $100 in fees made it not worth it. Funny how UMN states that Wisconsin is their biggest rival yet these tickets are $50-100 more each.

siouxjoy Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I bought tickets for Friday night. I had to really debate spending the money, but since I am already going to be in the Cities, I decided to splurge. It's my first trip to the John. Can't wait!

siouxforce19 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I'm not paying that money for a regular season game. My ticket to the national championship game was less than 70 bucks, for comparison sakes. If you have money and are willing to shell it out, I applaud you, but I'd rather keep that for things like... Regionals or Frozen Fours. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the last Sioux/Gopher game of the WCHA era and I couldn't even sell my SRO ticket for $30 outside Mariucci. The $100 price tag is aggressive. From their perspective, I can't blame them for trying it out though. I don't know what their single game ticket quantity available is, but if it was 2,000 seats per game, you're talking about $200,000 in extra revenue on the weekend. That said...IMO - the UND athletic dept. should address this sort of pricing behavior in any future agreements with schools. Either a cap on the % increase allowed or a revenue share on any increase over the average ticket price that school charges. For conference games, the NCHC should exercise some muscle in stopping the similar behavior like we saw with the package requirements in Denver. While these high ticket prices and package requirements make short-term economical sense for the schools, I believe they represent a long-term loss for college hockey. I witnessed a similar behavior in NASCAR. (grew up in NC) They had huge demand - the waiting list for tickets to the night race at Bristol was 84,000 people when I signed up in 1998. There were certainly some other factors like overbuilding grandstands (supply) and the poor economy, but when I started going to races in 1997, tickets were generally $20-$60. By the mid-2000s when their decline started, tickets were $75-$200. As people stopped coming, they lost interest. I can't remember if there are any proven theories on this, but what I'm getting at is that sports economics is not a standard supply and demand chart. You can't just drop prices later and have demand increase at the same level. As you increase price, you reduce demand, and that reduction has a continued effect in the future as fans lose interest in the sport. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it costs that much cuz you're buying 2 other series with it, you know how they're trying to keep Sioux fans out of Mariucci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't necessarily believe in jinxing teams, but I don't want to take the chance, either! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dden3 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Purchased tickets by phone last week to the Omaha series. They are much less proud of their tickets this year than last, when they were ranked highly and were opening up a new facility. Basically got as many tickets as I wanted in the upper deck in the shoot twice zone for $20 a piece. Hope to see a lot of Hawks/Sioux fans there this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
